Let’s say, you’re driving home from a contentious meeting with your coworkers, As you get closer to home you visualize that you crunching through the large-sized Doritos bag you bought for your husband last weekend.

You get home and dive into the bag washing them down with a bowl of rocky road. Then your husband gets home and suggests going out to Mexican. But you feel gross. You’re disgusted with yourself especially because your niece is getting married this summer and you’ve already bought the dress you plan to wear for the You turn him down for dinner.

Now let’s go meta on this small vignette and take it frame-by-frame. Slow down the frame of each piece of this story because you want to figure out what happens to your smart eating.

Frame one: as you leave your office you’re angry. Your coworker and you didn’t agree on a fundamental part of the project. You climb in to your car and think “maybe it’s time to look for a new job.” (That’ll show em.) You notice all that you think and feel in frame one,

Now let’s look at frame two, what’s missing? No cold tote filled in smart snacks, for starters. I’d also have a playlist of music and/or a super positive podcast For smart listening. In brief, we’re looking 1) no cold tote filled in smart snacks 2) no smart self-talk to sooth and comfort yourself. And 3) Nothing prepared for your smart dinner,

Take your next eating experience and deeply explore it frame by frame. This is totally doable, guys. You’ve got this!! ❤️

Have a greay week!

    Wendy, I have really enjoyed your newsletters. I’ll miss your practical guidance, it has given me a calming perspective on my weight loss journey. I’ll continue to lose until it feels right and healthy. I wish you the best in your health journey and I know from experience, that part of the health journey is medical, nutrition and some of it is a positive outlook and sheer pigheadedness. Don’t let the b&$st get you down. Fight like h*ll. All the best Julia.
