    Tug of War

    This week's episode is a car talk! I often get inspired while commuting to and from work, so I decided to roll with it and bring you a quick car talk on "tug of war." I talk about how resisting reality when it comes to health and weight is like 2 kids playing tug of war for something they want. Bear with me as I give you a brief glimpse into my parenting style and provide an example that highlights the struggle we often have internally when fighting with reality.

    Take Back Control with Mindful Eating

    Last week we talked all about intuitive eating (if you missed it, be sure to set aside 20 minutes to check it out!) which was all about listening to your body's hunger and satiety cues - basically TRUSTING you body. This week we dive into the food itself. Why are we eating what and when we eat? How does it make us feel? How can we learn to enjoy the experience of eating and truly experience the meal? I walk you thought a basic mindful eating exercise and provide journal prompts and reflections to help you stay more mindful during your meals. Want more? Check out this intuitive and mindful eating handout I created: https://bewell.nutritionhealthlife.com/ieworkbook  Want even more? I write about this topic quite a bit on my blog.

    Intuitive Eating 101

    Today we dive into Intuitive Eating, which seems to be starting to have a bit of a revival in the past few years. Intuitive eating is listening to your body and TRUSTING you body will guide you in what to eat, when to eat and how much to each. Trust me, this can be you. As someone who went from pretty notable disordered eating that included measuring and recording every last morsel of food that went into my mouth to someone who eating intuitively 99.9% of the time (and wouldn't want it any other way), I promise you it is possible.

    Getting SMART with your goals

    This week's episode piggybacks onto last week's show about goal setting. Today we dive into what makes a SMART goal. In case you're new to SMART goals, the acronym stands for: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant (or Realistic), and Timely.  In the episode I open up my email inbox to your goals! Send me the goals you are working on and I'll discuss them (anonymously) on the show. I can help reframe them to meet the SMART criteria if you are struggling, or praise you for your natural SMART goal setting ability.
