Eating with your family shouldn’t cause you to regain 25lbs+.
Years ago, when I was still dieting, I felt so overwhelmed around being with family and friends because there would be food around.
I was still operating with the mindset that specific foods would cause me to gain weight.
Of course, they’d always have those foods around.
So I had three options:
1) don’t go at all
2) go but refuse to eat anything
3) go but completely pig out because I was already eating a food I shouldn’t eat (the main reason for many Monday morning restarts)
Of course, I did all three — over and over again which is why I was stuck in the cycle of losing weight just to regain it.
Eventually, I realized I had another option:
Go, eat and enjoy myself without overdoing it.
It never occurred to me because most diets expect you to put your real life on pause just to lose weight.
Instead of simply teaching you how to deal with real life.
Once I learned how to eat for life, not only did I lose 88lbs but it’s been easier for me to sustain it.
If you’re done losing the same 25lbs+ over and over again, comment GUIDE and I’ll show you how.
