Are You Interested in Taking a Break from Sugar? 


That is a great question to ask ourselves.

Another great question is - What place does food have in your life?  

Now, notice your thoughts. 

Does your mind immediately go to judging and beating up on yourself when you answer those questions? 

OR

Does your mind go to clenching your fists and gritting your teeth, not wanting to give up your favorite foods?

Neither one of these reactions is "bad" or "wrong". 

I'm guessing they are reactions you've had in the past. 

Just notice them without judging them.  They are thoughts you have practiced.

My work as a life and weight coach is not to demonize sugar.

My work is to give accurate information that explains the results sugar has inside our bodies.  

My clients get to decide for themselves if they want to take a break from sugar.  

They get to observe the results they have inside their bodies. 

They also get to notice their thinking about certain food choices.

Is their life better because of food?

Is their life more fun because of food?

Is their life more comforting because of food?

These are great questions because they help us see our thoughts.  

The important thing is to not beat up on ourselves when we realize our thinking patterns. 

We must begin with awareness without judgment.

The next step is to ask ourselves, "Are these thoughts serving me and my commitment to honoring my body?"

Again, our human tendency is to go to beating ourselves up and comparing ourselves to others. Please promise me you won't do this. 

Then, with compassion, ask yourself if you would like to take a break from certain food choices.  

Are you interested in the results you would get? 

If you are curious about doing this experiment with your body and your food,  I would love to help you get started.  Simply click on this link to schedule your free session with me. CLICK HERE. 

I love helping women see that it's their thoughts that hold the key to creating the future and the health they want.  

You are so worth it,
Peggy

The One Thing You Need to Know...

The One Thing You Need to Know...  What is it?  What is the one thing you need to know in order to achieve your goals? If your goal is to lose weight, is the one thing you need to know, a diet , powder or pill? If your goal is to manage your time, is the one thing you need to know, the best planner? If your goal is to exercise, is the one thing you need to know, the best workout? If your goal is to have more self confidence, is the one thing you need to know, the best mantras? Would you believe me if I told you that the one thing you need to know for accomplishing   any goal does not come from outside of you?  It comes from within.  One day, I was hosting a group call with my coaching clients, and I asked the question, "What is the one thing you need to know in order to continue in the wellness steps we have been practicing?" I listened to the answers from the group and then they asked me the one thing I needed to know. My ...

Are You Okay With It Taking Time?

Are You Okay With It Taking Time?  Every change we make, every accomplishment we achieve takes a certain amount of time.   We could even agree that the greatest accomplishments take more time.   But when it comes to losing weight, we want it to be fast.  This messes with our mind, our emotions and our commitment. I want you to think about when you enrolled in college.  You decided on a field of study and a degree you set out to earn and graduate.   Or, you can think about High School.  You set out to graduate.   When you signed up, you expected that it would take a number of days you would need to continue taking action.  You made a plan, followed through and repeated.....Over and over and over.   When you were a sophomore, did you say to yourself, "I haven't graduated yet I think I'll quit?" In the 6th month of your Senior year did you throw up your hands and stop completing the requ...

The New Normal

The New Normal How do we decide what normal eating is? Who decides?  Is it us or is it culture? Is it my thoughts, or society's thoughts? What is the association we are creating with our thoughts about food being part of our life events? Do we really need pizza and beer to make watching football more enjoyable?  Do we need to have sugary treats to celebrate the Holidays? I personally, had to spend time questioning my involvement in spreading this confusion during family gatherings. One of the qualities I wanted to be known for was to be a good cook.  I had to decide what I thought a "good cook" meant to me.  Was it to bake foods that were loaded with mind altering substances? Or, could I decide that preparing food that was actually higher on the nutritional scale is of more value? Hmm, what an interesting question.  What is my new normal? Another question I asked myself is, "How am I going to feel after I eat those mind-altering foods?  W...
