NMLP EP 153 : Meet yourself where you’re at

Have you experienced this?

 

You start a new diet and feel like you have to be perfect with everything. You typically eat out and so think you have to grocery shop for all your meals for the entire week but then end up wasting so much food. 

Then you get frustrated at yourself and feel like you're failing, so you end up overeating or binging on something that in the moment makes you feel better but then you feel even lower than you did before..

 

Think of it like this... you're trying to do college level Spanish but you're really needing to start out at elementary or middle school Spanish - because you've only been trained in English. Of course you're not going to be able to do it all- you haven't learned the basics and it's so outside of what you're currently doing that it's foreign to you. 

 

Meet yourself where you're at. 

 

I frequently tell my patients to bring vegetables with them to work, even if they know they're going to go out to a fast food restaurant. It's hard to change habits- so start small. Start somewhere that's doable. 

 

In this week's episode of the Nutrition's My Life Podcast, I'm helping you to learn how to give yourself grace during this process and to help you meet yourself where you're at, so you're able to be successful long term.
