Last week I launched the 5-Day Eating for Happy Hormones Challenge.
It was a great week, and I got to meet with some of you too!
So, thank you.
Basically, over the 5 days of the challenge, we tried on 5 habits related to eating for better health and less belly fat.
And we started with WHY.
Continue reading “6 Simple Ways to Create Habits that Stick”Here’s a post I wrote 4 years ago today.
It’s about the darker places your mind can go.
And what to do to come back to yourself.
It ties in well with the topic today in my 5-Day Challenge: Emotional eating.
You can still join us in the Challenge and catch up on what you missed.

Have a fantastic August 18th.

Perimenopause. Food. Belly fat.
Belly fat in particular is the reason I began working with women in perimenopause.
Because I noticed my own belly was taking up more space.
Even though I hadn’t changed what I was eating.
And even though I was still walking, running, and doing my planks.
My belly just started to show.
Hanging over my pants.
Making me very uncomfortable in my jeans.
And I wanted to understand why.
What I found out then, was that at 46, I was in perimenopause and my hormone levels were shifting.

When the shit hits the fan.
When things REALLY don’t go as planned
When life gets really hard.
It seems like everything is spinning out of control.
And it feels like it’s all happening TO you.
Like life is out to get you.
And you want to just curl up in a ball (physically or metophorically), and shut the world out.

“I was so GOOD yesterday, I didn’t eat…”
“It was a BAD day, I ate…”
“I bought only GOOD foods this week.”
“There was only crap (BAD) food at the party.”
We have a GOOD and BAD relationship with food.
We label foods as GOOD or BAD.
But we also tend to label ourselves as GOOD or BAD for eating, or not eating, those foods.
What if foods weren’t GOOD or BAD?

Ever heard this Jim Rohn quote: “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with”?
When I first heard this, it really opened my eyes.
I saw the truth in it.
Years ago I noticed that my energy was low, and I was stuggling to accomplish what I really wanted.
And a big part of that was that I was surrounded by people with who weren’t supportive or who didn’t understand what I wanted.

You’ve failed.
You’ve fallen down, fallen off, and fallen right out of the proverbial wagon.
You were doing so well, and then, BAM!
Everything was derailed.
What do you do next?
How do you get up, get back on, and get back into it?
What I mean is, how do you keep moving forward?

We just completed the 21-Day Self-Love Challenge last week.
And I loved the experience.
In fact, I loved it so much I’m going to offer it again in August.
So, stay tuned!
Now, having done the 21-Day Self-Love Challenge this first time, I noticed something interesting.
I noticed that we have a hard time owning what we LOVE about ourselves.
Inside and out.
It seems so much easier to talk about what we really DON’T LOVE about ourselves.
And we like to commiserate.
Misery loves company, right?
But what if you dared to share what you LOVE about YOU?
Are you afraid that your light would blind others?
Or would your light be exactly what others need to see, so they can shine their own light?
I believe it’s the latter.
If you shine your light, you’ll encourage others to shine theirs.
Your light could actually free others from their darkness.
Amazing.

Ok, so I’m kind of passionate about this subject.
And it’s not because I believe that diets are all BAD.
In fact, I actually believe that most diets can lead to weight loss, and some are quite healthy.
And there’s evidence that many people have lost weight on many different diets.
Have you ever come across this list of “Rules for Being Human?”
It’s unclear who wrote it, or how long ago.
But I think they’re genius.
To me, they really break down the human experience.
And attempt to explain how life as a human really works.
I think we all intuitively know these things, but when we read them consciously, they can change the way we look at ourselves, and life itself.
Here they are:
