News — break ups

How this little nuisance is holding you back.

Ever feel like you’re out of touch with your body’s signals when it comes to when to eat, what to eat, and/or how much?  Guess what? You are not alone. It’s especially common if you’ve been following diets or restrictive eating patterns to lose or gain weight, or because of participating in sports that emphasize a certain “look” or use weight classes. Which reminds me of when my son was on the wrestling team. He only wrestled for one season because he didn’t like skipping dinner the night before a match to ensure he made weight.

I am sharing this because all too often we OVERTHINK meal planning and prepping. His advice is so simple and so foolproof that it completely transformed how I personally approach my own meals. Here it is: “As long as you put together ingredients that taste good, your meal is going to taste good.” (I told you it was simple.)

When you are feeling down cry, meditate, clean, run....do anything but eat after the first two days of food mourning your allowed. That's right, I give you two days to feel sorry for yourself after a break up and cry into a pint of Haagen daz but after that it's time to get your shit together.
