We’ve all been there: You go 30 days without a single ‘bad’ carb. You feel like a superhero... until a stressful Tuesday hits.
One slice of office birthday cake later, and you’re telling yourself, ‘Well, I already blew it. I’ll just eat whatever I want for the rest of the week and ‘start over’ on Monday!’ Sounds familiar?
This is the All-or-Nothing Trap
When we banish foods:
1. Mental Fatigue: It takes massive willpower to say ‘no’ every single day.
2. The Pedestal Effect: That piece of cake becomes the most important thing in the world because it’s ‘off-limits’.
3. The Last Supper Mentality: When you finally eat the ‘forbidden’ food, you eat as much as possible because you’re planning to restrict it again tomorrow.
My coaching philosophy? We keep the carbs. We keep the cake. It’s not a daily thing and it’s occasional but it’s not forbidden!
When you give yourself unconditional permission to eat, the ‘trigger’ foods lose their ‘trigger’ status. You can have two bites and be done, because you know you can have it again another time if you decide to have it.
That is what food freedom actually looks like. 🕊️
