๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆโ๐ด ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ข๐ฅ๐ท๐ช๐ค๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฅ๐ฐ: eat comfort foods. โฃ
โฃ
Now hear me out, every year, around this time of year, I start to hear from my clients that theyโre feeling less motivated, theyโre hungrier, and theyโre craving all the comfort foods & warm things. โฃ
โฃ
And we automatically assume we need to avoid them. โฃ
โฃ

โฃ
Instead, hereโs what I always recommend doing: โฃ
โฃ
๐๐ช๐ณ๐ด๐ต ๐ฐ๐ง๐ง, stop beating yourself up or feeling guilty for your lack of motivation or recent progress. Itโs normal. Youโre not always going to feel motivated but you can always continue to take action. โฃ
โฃ
๐๐ฆ๐น๐ต ๐ถ๐ฑ, fill up on options that will keep you full & satisfied but also give you that warm, comfort food feeling. There are plenty of ways to make healthier options of your favorites. Load up on things like healthy chilis, fall soups, all the crockpot recipes, even pumpkin and apples make for awesome healthy baking swaps. โฃ
โฃ
High volume foods will be amazing right now to fill you up and keep you satisfied. โฃ
โฃ
๐๐ข๐ด๐ต ๐ด๐ต๐ฆ๐ฑ, (this oneโs my favorite). ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ โ๐ฎ๐ง๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก๐ฒโ ๐๐จ๐จ๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎโ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐ . Instead of placing anything off limits or deeming things good or bad, shift your perspective. Decide which foods are really worth it, make them fit within your day, eat them mindfully and move on.โฃ
โฃ
If you spend the entire season trying to avoid the Christmas cookies, I guarantee at some point youโll end up with an empty plate of cookies in one sitting and a whole lot of guilt.

โฃ
โฃ
Instead, decide whatโs really worth it to you, and enjoy it. Free of guilt. โฃ
