S1:E45 Where & why healthy eating has been going wrong for you& a look into my past health struggles
Healthy eating can seem so hard, but it doesn’t have to be that way.If you’re stuck in a rut, it’s time for you to figure out WHY so you can move forward.Listen to hear my personal experience with being stuck in a rut and then figure out your personal barrier to healthy eating.
The picture you see below is when I hit my rut. I mean a big rut. I should look at this picture of when my husband returned home from a deployment to Kuwait and feel nothing but the utmost joy……instead I know that I was feeling so completely gross and uncomfortable. I was stuck, unable to translate nutrition knowledge into action and habit during our first deployment and the first year of my oldest son’s life. (definitely give this episode a listen for that story if nothing else—hah!)
Let me break down some barriers for you here:
Trying to do what everyone else is doing
One size does NOT fit all
You are perfectly unique (a divine design)
Not able to find your groove
Yo-yo dieting
Hopping around the latest fad diet
Despairing
Giving up
Waiting until X day to start again
Looking for quick fixes and products that promise unrealistic solutions
Specific protein powder
Specific meal plan
Specific devices
Maybe not even knowing what IS realistic
This can be seen from two sides: either you truly just don’t know where to begin making changes OR
You feel like you’re already eating pretty healthy, but you’re not happy with where it’s gotten you so far
So do the work, friend. Figure out why healthy eating hasn’t been working for you and then move forward. I’m here for you when you’re ready! Join the TRIBE!
