I am not a COW, so why am I always Grazing?

This entry was posted in Fat-Loss Mindfulness Mindset Weight-Loss on by (updated on )

Do you find yourself taking samples of food while you are shopping at Sam’s Club or Costco?  Do you nibble on food as you are prepping dinner for the family or at a buffet style cocktail party?  What about opening the freezer and spooning ice cream from the container as you stare off into space?  Or do you eat chips, popcorn, or cookies right out of the bag and before you know it….the package is empty! Whoops!   What do all of these scenarios have in common?  We are usually STANDING UP &/or GRAZING while we engage in them and probably feeling a little anxious or bored, too, whether we are aware of it or not.   None the less, we are in a state of mindlessness or low awareness of what or how much food we are putting in our mouths in all of those scenarios, which can lead to […]

Why I don’t care about fitting into my skinny jeans anymore!

I used to feel discouraged when all week long I stuck to the food and exercise plan that I was on and didn’t see the scale budge or feel my jeans fitting any better. It’s easy at this point to want to give up and just quit!     But….Wait….Stay with it! Keep your head up and keep going! No one ever won anything, fit into their skinny jeans, or reached any of their goals by quitting! It takes time to see results and changes in your body from diet and exercise. It took me years and many food and exercise experiments to really find out what worked for me!  And believe me…I’m still experimenting.   You Mean I Won’t Always See Results Right Now?   Experimentation takes patience and knowing that results aren’t going to happen over night.  I know and it sucks, I wish I had better news […]

I was reading the other day and came across the quote, “Sometimes the wrong choice brings us to the right places.”  It reminded me of that old fork in the road saying, and how sometimes that fork in the road can have 3 -4 different ways you can go, too!  Aaaaaaahh….What do I do and where do I go from here? This really got me to thinking about some of the choices I have to make this year.  Last year brought a lot of  life challenges for me in the areas of health, career, and personal relationships!  I have to decide what direction my career is going and how much time I want to devote to my new online business, whether to stay in my current relationship and “work it out”, or start with someone new, and how to find more balance in my health and well-being; since striving for perfect […]
