So now what?!

I want to introduce to you the Planned Joy Eat.

Allowing balance into your life through food is the main idea of this whole challenge. Not allowing food to be this space of joy, comfort, or distraction from other feelings. To use it as a means of nourishment. But also allowing ourselves to truly experience our food when we are at a birthday party, to not feel like we must resist anything. This worksheet is another way to bring the power back to you. So you can have your kid's birthday party without worrying about the cake being there, and you can be truly present, love every experience, and even enjoy the cake without beating yourself up...because you made the intentional decision that you were going to.

This is where we find balance. This can be a tough one to understand for a while- so if you need help grasping this idea, please reach out for your 1:1 coaching session.

Here is your Planned Joy Eat Worksheet I made for you! https://bit.ly/3JWqPAk

Step 1: Plan your Joy Eat at least 24 hours in advance. This helps you build trust with yourself.

Step 2: Fill out the entire Joy Eat Journal while you are eating

Step 3: review the journal entries after - reflect

Don't Forget!

Don't forget about your goals. It feels like you hit the finish line, and maybe you have...but what habits do you want to carry forward with you?

How are you feeling in your body now?

How did your body feel before the Psychology of Lasting Weight Loss?

If you felt deprived of certain foods, Remember, Deprivation is a feeling we create based on our own desire. The more we desire something, the more we feel deprived when we think about not having it.

If you still want a certain food, plan your "joy eat" 24 hrs in advance and use your joy eat journal I gave you yesterday to write down in intense detail what each bite tastes like, feels like, smells like, emotions that come up, emotions you felt leading up to this moment. This is an incredibly powerful tool and generally ruins that joy food for you. IF FOOD IS YOUR MAIN SOURCE OF JOY, YOUR LIFE IS BORING!

When you feel an intense need to eat when you are not hungry, ask yourself what emotions are underlying this urge? What thoughts have I been thinking today? This will help you soothe your true desire instead of distracting yourself with food. Before you know it- it will happen naturally and food won't be your go-to for emotional exhaustion.

Big love and hugs

You're there!

It's your last day!!

Congratulations! Cue the chariots of fire, you are almost to the finish line! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=astl-FbbNt8

Now it's time to reflect on your experience. What did you learn? What is your biggest takeaway? What do you want to keep doing? What is your game plan for continuing to live this healthy life? I hope you remembered that when you failed, that it's a part of the process. You are not a robot, and to get up and learn from the fall. You are a wonderful person, and change is super scary. I hope you gave it your best you could, and if you feel like you didn't. Let me know, you are welcome to take this course as many times as you would like.

If you have autoimmune problems, you might want to continue eating this diet for a full month to get even better benefits.

If you do not have autoimmune, you have lost the amount of weight you want, and are ready to start reintroducing foods. Tomorrow is your day!

What the introductory phase looks like:

pick 1 food (for the whole week) to reintegrate (many choose wheat or dairy)

Eat this food at each meal, some notice a reaction right away, some need 3 days to notice any reaction. If you notice a negative reaction, this is a sign your body does not prefer this food.

If you reintegrate more than one thing at once you miss the powerful learning of what doesn't work well with your body. Signs and symptoms of food not being ideal for your body is bloating, pain, mood swings, and the very obvious hives.

In the week following - you get to choose another food to reintroduce.

And then continue the cycle until you have reintroduced all foods!

Don't forget, just because the Whole Body Reset is over, doesn't mean I am not here for you!

Big hugs friends, you did awesome!
