His response to my question, “how is that I feel like I’ve known you for longer than I’ve been alive, yet every time I see you it feels like I just met you?”
When I feel like giving up, I think about all my clients who show up for our call each week and I’m inspired to follow through like them.
The point of weightloss isn’t to someday get to the point where you never think of food again—instead, get to the point where thinking about food just stays that way—-a passing thought.
Ohhh this is about me : ) And my coaching :) The world is one, beautiful place when you give yourself to it!
I’m very excited about my new venture in Flexitarianism — aka, mostly vegitarian w/ meat occasionally, like a couple times a week.
Why?
My tendency is actually towards this but I often default to thinking the meat “makes the meal.” I’m doing this mainly for the health benifits and also, my own little part in the environment.
My goal:
For the next month [from 7/22-8/22] eat meatless for TWO full days & have at least 1 meatless meal 3 of the remaining days.
I keep things simple and understand slow, sustainable change. Plus — I want to really explore it more and make the shift.
Anyone else try this dietary style??
I’m a Weight Watchers member and keep a blog on it. I’ve been on WW for almost 7 years and have probably lost/gained 100+lbs. My weight issues are seldom talked about — but I know somewhere down past the frustration and confusion, it’ll make sense one day.
I wrote a post after I had a weight-related “existential crisis”. Here is it:
Once again — freak-outs serve a really important role for me. They usher out the garbage so something new can come in.
I awoke last night around 4am feeling anxious and sad — and I had a good conversation with my inner-self. I realized that I’ve been neglecting my wiser, higher-self —- the voice that doesn’t judge, condemn or feel grumpy. I was listening to the critical voice, the one that is never happy with things no matter how great they are. My own voice got lost in the shuffle.
I realized that I’m trying to segment my life again — putting it into sections, with each section vying for my energy and attention. The main ones are my life-coaching practice, Undercurrent, and my weight-watcher/healthy lifestyle.
I had them fighting each other for which one deserved MORE of my energy attention. And I was the loser in that.
I simply wanted clarity as to where/what and how to go about putting my energy. All of this is a logic based approach — my heart based approach doesn’t divide and view the world in terms of deprivation.
My lesson is to re-learn what leading with my heart means. What it feels like, sounds like and looks like. While I appreciate my mind and it’s intellectual wit, it’s not the voice that I need to listen to right now.
I was feeling anxious before an event, so I wrote out things to boost my confidence and affirm that I’m exactly where I need to be with undercurrent.
