Description

Sara puts her Health Coaching hat on with Wendy as we explore why people fail with New Year Resolutions and how to ditch them AND still achieve your goals.

Diets are usually like a pair of shoes that don’t quite fit right, uncomfortable, restrictive, not conducive to long-term wear, and causes other wellness issues. Letting go of the diet mentality is extremely hard for many people. It’s often engrained from other challenges, obstacles and ongoing emotional eating cycles, and life struggles. 

When it comes to eating it’s not even a reality about finding a shoe that fits you, it’s about creating your own shoe.

 Dieting is yet another habit loop that can leave us stuck.

DIETS make you give up your inner voice.

About 1 in 4 American’s will set a Diet Resolution and only 9% feel they are successful.

Reasons for failure

• setting unrealistic goals.
• participants who failed didn’t keep track of their progress.
• forgot about their resolutions.
• About one in 10 people who failed said they made too many resolutions.

Some of the solutions....

Finding Middle Ground

1. Set realistic GOALS -  ie.  In the month of January I will decrease my soda consumption by 50% - drinking one per day at lunch.  Address Barriers -  WORK WITH A HEALTH COACH - Sara - for this
2. Keep it simple  - Do your food habits benefit you in body and mind?
3. Focus on intention and attention - How do I want to feel at the end of this meal?
4. Crowd out.  80/20 Rule What should I eat? Crowd out processed food Self Nourish.
5. “Eat like an animal” - trust your instincts - eat a little of everything pay attention to basic portions, avoid extremes.
6. Create room for pleasure
