For so long I thought that if someone just told me exactly what to eat I would lose the weight.
And while a meal plan is a great tool and can be super helpful, it wasnāt until I looked inward that I realized what I thought was the problem wasnāt actually the problem.
Here was where my real struggle was...
šI would often eat past fullness if I was āstarting again on Mondayā because I knew when Monday came and the diet started, I was going to feel hungry and deprived.
šI would eat when I was bored, stressed, tired, or anxious, even if I wasnāt hungry.
šEven when I had āthe perfect planā, I struggled to follow through if I was tired, unmotivated or just didnāt feel like it. And then, once I slipped up, it was game over and I went off the deep end. If I wasnāt dieting, I was doing the exact opposite of dieting.
šIt wasnāt until I ditched that diet mentality altogether that everything changed.
šš¼I took the pressure off myself to lose the weight as fast as possible.
šš¼Instead of just losing the weight, I thought about how I could have a healthier lifestyle that weight loss was a byproduct of because I didnāt just want to lose the weight I wanted to keep it off after I lost it.
I slowly started incorporating some healthy habits and when they started to feel easy, I added more.
šš¼I stopped focusing on what I needed to take away and started focusing on what I could add in.
Instead of saying āI canāt have cake I can only eat veggiesā I said āI can have cake after I eat veggies.ā
The result - I didnāt feel deprived AND I didnāt overeat in anticipation of a diet coming.
šš¼I started to pause and acknowledge when I was turning to food to cope with my emotions and started looking for and practicing other ways to deal with them - baths, walking, reading, sleep, etc.
š„Ready for a new approach to weight loss? I lost 100 pounds without dieting and I want to teach you how!

I enjoyed using that mindfulness book called 30 Days to Stop Overeating by Harper Daniels.
