Word of the week; stubborn. Too stubborn to let adversity get me down. Too stubborn to stay in bed in the morning, even though there are hours or days when I want to. Too stubborn to stay in a bad mood even though negativity can temporarily feel sooooo good. Life has good days and bad days. And you are reminded what a fighter you are when those days come around that you wanting to go back to bed. Being in a good mood as a challenge. And I’m up for the fight.

I always thought I had to do something big to change my life. But I learned that what I really had to do was very small. And it all started with a simple thought.

Food was controlling my life. I finally stopped it. The answer was much more simplistic than I ever imagined. Here's my secret.

You want that support and someone to help you be accountable. It's so hard to stay on track and motivated on your own. And let's be honest. Diets can be so damn lonely.

I'm here to be that cheerleader. I celebrate your good days and I listen to your sadness on the days when your struggle with food is real. I help you heal. But once you get a taste of that support, you want other ways to stay accountable. And in 2020, what can't be found in an app?

I used to not be a fan of diet apps. So many of them just track your calories and I'm not a fan of calorie counting.

But now I've found an app to recommend to my clients along with their other healthy changes.

This year, we’re not only starting a fresh trip around the sun. We’ve moved into a new decade. So what a great time to get healthy with Noom.

I can't. I won't. I'll never. It's IMPOSSIBLE. I've thought all of these before. And who would blame me. I'd failed a million times. A million and one times seemed inevitable.

It was so easy to think there was something wrong with me. I lacked willpower. I couldn't give up my joy. Or maybe I just drew the short straw when it comes to metabolisms.

This negativity is so easy to hold onto. You can start forgetting it's just a thought. Thoughts are ideas. They're certainly not reality. But they can feel so real that they can turn into reality. At least they did for me.

When I turned my relationship with food around, overnight things went from hard to easy. I'd seriously struggled for YEARS. Why did all of a sudden it seem so simple? I was baffled.

But then I realized that I didn't just change how I ate. I transformed how I thought about food.

I stopped the obsessing that made me feel out of control.

As I marked down every little calorie and everything I ate, I would feel in control. But I could never get it exactly right. And that made me feel out of control. There was no winning. Because the secret isn't actually control.

The SECRET IS TO RELEASE

I had to release my desire to "make it happen" at all costs. I had to let go and trust. And I had say goodbye to my desires for perfectionism and return to a place of self-love.

And then, instead of trying to desperately push myself to the finish line, things just started to FLOW. It became so easy because my brain looked at food with ease. And while my cravings didn't completely go away, I was able to satisfy them more simply. And I was suddenly FREE!

It's scary to let go of perfectionism. Especially if you feel like its held you together your entire life. It might feel constructive. But there's something more simple and easy on the other side - I promise you.

Sometimes we need reminders for the simple things.

When I'm having a busy day, it's easy to forget about myself - my own health. My wellbeing. These are the same type of days when I forget to eat, drink water - pretty much anything that falls into the category of self-care.

But then I remind myself to go back to basics. The breath. It brings me back into the hear and now. And I can focus at the task at hand. Inhale. Exhale. So simple.

Self-care is so important. And it's easy to put it last. But you've got to breathe anyway. My opinion is you might as well make your breathes good ones. And when you clear your head, you can better focus on the moment and take care of you.

Does how you chew matter? The answer might surprise you.

The value of chewing has nothing to do with the act. It is how you chew that makes the difference. And this can alter your whole relationship with food.
