Maybe you do your fair share of shaming yourself for over-indulging in sugar, alcohol and rich gooey foods—the stuff that leaves you lethargic and basically feeling overall crappy. Maybe you have fallen into some bad habits and want a fresh start. Well, first off, shame on you for shaming yourself! Did ‘ya read my blog titled LOVE YOUR BODY in 2014? If not, please do so now!
Okay, so now that you realize shaming yourself and criticizing yourself will not accelerate your progress, lets talk about your health journey from a positive prescriptive.
If you are the consummate yo-yo dieter, don’t beat yourself up. You didn’t fail your diets, diets failed you!! Diets are dumb (oops that’s harsh!). What I mean is, diets set you up for failure. They are restrictive, often complicated, full of rules and often leave you wanting to eat your left arm. They screw with your metabolism and your mind.
The best approach to eating healthy is EDUCATION. Start understanding food. Start reading labels. Start treating your body with respect and give your body the nutrients it needs. Start planning and start caring about YOU and your family.
I have an eBook titled GET STARTED WITH CLEAN EATING that is a guidebook to learning to eat healthy. It has advice, tips, swapportunities, factual information and best of all, it has 2 weeks of delicious yummy meals with a full pantry list and a grocery list. All normal foods—no wacky ingredients that you have to ship in from overseas! P.S. There is a Vegetarian version also
And for those of you feel like you need to reevaluate all the “f” words: food, fitness and fundamental mental strategies, I’ve got your back. I have an eBook called GET STARTED WITH WEIGHT LOSS that has more than 100 pages of the FAQ’s I’ve gotten over the last 20 years from people like you who want advice on exercise, nutrition, motivation, time management, mind-body exercise and more. Upon request from many of you, I included many of the things I do daily to live a healthy life.
I want to help you learn that being healthy is fun and fabulous! I’d be thrilled if you would participate in my LOVE YOUR BODY campaign and send a photo and/or a reason to me about why you LOVE YOUR BODY!
Let's stick together and take this journey toward healthy living with a positive frame of mind. My kids have spent their lives hearing me say this every morning and so I say it to you too: “Your glass is either half empty of half full and YOU make that choice!”
