I’ve been working on losing fat and gaining muscle this year - but when progress stalled a couple of months ago, I tried dropping to 1700 calories a day.
Big mistake.
Huge.
I was suddenly hungry…all the time. I started negotiating about what I could and couldn’t eat.
And when my brain started saying “f**k it, I don’t care what I eat tonight” I knew it was BAD.
It was a reminder of all the same shizz I used to deal with on the regular back in my dieting days.
Back then, I’d have decided that the problem was me and locked in harder, while I did a google search for low-cal treats that might keep me going for just a couple more hours.
Because I’d have read the return of those thoughts as proof. Proof that I needed to try harder.
This time, the thoughts showed up exactly the same.
But something HUGE had changed - what I let it mean.
Not that I was failing…but that my body doesn’t do well at 1700 calories, so I don’t do that again. Simple.
And that’s the thing about creating more peace around food.
It’s not that you always get your nutrition 100% right. Or that those kind of thoughts go away altogether - they’ll still lurk when life gets stressful and you’re standing in front of the fridge at 4pm.
What changes is whether you’re still handing those thoughts the power to tell you who you are.
You’ve spent 20 years reading every wobble as evidence against you. That you need more willpower, more discipline, to try harder.
But what if that same moment could just be data? Something to get curious about instead of something to be crushed by? Information that helps you make a different decision next time?
And this is what I help you to do - STOP blaming yourself and letting guilt and shame dictate your decisions.
And instead learn how to read those moments and use them to make decisions you can trust without the food noise, second guessing and guilt that goes with it.
It doesn’t mean giving up on yourself and your goals. It just means choosing to do that in a way that maximised your peace instead.
