Your Food Freedom Tip   

I work with a lot of high-achieving women and this is something that comes up quite often...

PERFECTIONISM 

"If I am not lovable for who I am, then I will become lovable for what I can do, what I can achieve, and what I can look like."

Perfectionism is addictive because when we experience shame, judgment, and blame (inevitable as humans), we believe it was because we were simply not perfect enough.

This sets us up to feel more shame, judgment, and blame which becomes a cycle.

There are a lot of types of perfectionism that I cover especially in my coaching program but today let's quickly talk about one.

Black and White Thinking 

This thinking style involves seeing only one extreme or the other. You are right or wrong, good or bad, and so on. There are no in-betweens or shades of grey.

e.g., “If I eat one cookie then I've ruined my eating and I am a complete failure”.

Sound familiar?

Your Body Freedom Tip  

When you see a photo of yourself and think that you should be skinnier, prettier, etc... I want you to know that you aren't seeing your own beauty.

Quite literally because you can't!

Your energy, your light, your personality, your everything cannot be captured.

Here is the thing my gorgeous girl, you will never truly see yourself.

You will only see photos or videos but you'll never actually see yourself in real life.

This kinda blows my mind thinking about this.

Consider the picture you took of the sunset.

It is never as beautiful as the real thing, am I right?

That photo of yourself that you hate cannot capture the infinite beauty that is you.

You are enough as you are and as you will change.

A photo is a snapshot in time, not a snapshot of your worth.

So take the photo, record the video because we are simply capturing the memories.

Your Body Freedom Tip  

Recognize that body dissatisfaction is greatest in times of high stress.

What you think is a body problem is actually a life problem.

When you find yourself unhappy with how you look, ask yourself if it might be about something else.

Are you blaming your body for something that is not really about your body?

Notice that in life when things feel out of our control we try to control things that we feel we can control. This often looks like trying to control how we eat and how we look.

Simply be aware of this and note that we will never be free by implementing control.

Get curious and compassionate. Your body was never and is never the problem.

For more support around this, hit reply to this email and I can give you some more tips.

Your Food Freedom Tip  

GET MORE SLEEP 💤

 When we don't get enough sleep our body tries to substitute for the lack of energy by eating more calories! Our body is pretty smart like that.

 Lack of sleep also messes up our hunger and fullness hormones making it hard to eat intuitively. 

Additionally, when we are overtired we are less able to manage our emotions which can lead to emotional eating.  

So on the days, you haven't gotten enough sleep, if you find yourself reaching for more high calories foods aka high-energy foods, feeling less in touch with your body, and feeling more down and emotional, this is totally normal! 

Bring in lots of self-compassion and then do your best to get more rest!
