Step 2
The second thing is to be sure you are finding a way to make the process pleasurable. I’ve had clients telling me they don’t want to have to eat a certain vegetable like cucumbers or broccoli. The thing is, they don’t have to. Instead of focusing on what they can’t eat, I ask them- how can you eat more healthy things that you really enjoy?
Remember how I had to give up corn, one of my favorite foods? A few nights ago, I made some grain-free tortillas using chickpea flour and coconut milk. Ugh, they were- THE BOMB! I would even say they were better than corn tortillas. And I never would have made them if I hadn’t given up corn.
I could have felt bad about myself for not getting to eat regular tortillas. But instead, I embraced what my body needed and discovered something new and delicious because of it.
Health and Fitness are passions of mine. But, they weren’t always. I never would have become a health and fitness professional or learned how to cook healthy delicious meals, if I hadn’t had the problem of gaining weight and needing to make a change.
On the other side of every challenge is always a blessing.
What food or habit do you need to let go of that hasn’t been loving you back?
What blessing are you missing out on because you have been resisting change?
