Another diet (or *a healthier way of eating) down the drain, right? Are you wondering why you used to be so good at diets, and now you cannot make it past 24 hours without spiraling face-first into the oreo box? In episode 052 of the Food Freedom Lab Podcast, we will unpack this, and I will tell you how to stop this horrible cycle. Let’s say GOODBYE to failing your diet once and for all!
@itsryannnicole How much do you think you would gain? 🤭 #CompleteMyLook #overeatinghelp #bingeeatingrecovery #dietips101 #weightlosstransformation
But first, let me just say something.. Isn't it ironic that when a diet is going great, we attribute all of that success to the diet, but when it isn't going great, we attribute all of that failure to ourselves? What if it wasn't us that was the failure, but rather the diet? What if to stop failing your diet meant to stop dieting altogether? It sounds counterintuitive, but hear me out!
Do you want to stop failing your diet? Stop dieting and do these things instead.
TRY ADDING IN FOOD RATHER THAN CUTTING OUT.
You don't have to cut out ANYTHING to find your happy weight. If anything, this just makes you want those off-limit foods more, and in turn, even though you are ‘not eating them anymore’ you are eating them more because THOSE are the foods you constantly binge on.
So what if you tried this instead
- Adding in more fruit and veg
- Adding in more water
- Adding in more movement
- Adding in more REAL MEALS
- Adding in more mindful eating
Again, you don't have to cut anything out to find your happy weight. The more you focus on adding in, the less power food will have over you!
AIM FOR CONSISTENCY OVER PERFECTION.
I know I know I knowwww you want to have this perfect day of eating, and when it is not you say “f-it, might as well enjoy myself now because I'll be better tomorrow.” And THAT right there is your problem. This is not about being better tomorrow. This is not about having your eating perfectly. This is about listening to your body and recognizing that you are HUMAN and food is delicious.
@itsryannnicole POV: this is what the real problem is. #WorthTheWait #losingweightchallenge #weightlosstips #weightlossjourney
LOOK AT YOUR BEHAVIORS AROUND FOOD INSTEAD OF BLAMING THE FOOD.
I cannot tell you how many people reached out to me saying, “if I could just stop eating sugar, I would finally lose the weight.” Let me tell you something you probably don't want to hear. It is not the sugar that is your problem. It is you telling yourself that you ‘shouldn't’ have the sugar, that is, in turn, making you compulsively eat sugar that is the problem. Before blaming the food, let's look at your behavior around food.
@itsryannnicole I wanted to feel good & happy – so every decision I made I started asking myself, “what would make me feel good & happy?” #weightlosstransformation
TLDR;
To stop failing your diet, you need to stop dieting. You are not failing the diet. The diet is failing you, and it is time to do something different.
