Hi Reader,

“Can I reduce my cholesterol without going on another diet? Heart disease runs in my family. My cholesterol and blood sugar jumped up out of nowhere! Can I still do intuitive eating? I don't want to get obsessive about food again!”

Sound familiar?

Or maybe it's your blood sugar creeping up into the pre-diabetic range or you were recently told by your doctor you have insulin resistance.

Many women I work with, have an intro-understanding of Intuitive Eating and its principles.

Some have ditched diets for good and are learning to make peace with food and their body.

And then this happens…maybe for you too.

You allow yourself full permission with foods and start to honor hunger and satisfaction with gusto.

Then, your clothes feel tight or someone comments, "I'm worried about your health (weight)."
​

You think, “Oh shit, what have I done. I let myself go.”​
​

Fear wells up as you remember your family history of heart disease and diabetes.

Like a deer in headlights, you want to dive headfirst into the first diet that grabs you from Instagram.

Concerned and frustrated, you don’t want to give up the mental and emotional strength you gained with intuitive eating.

You don’t want to go back to the food rules and body shame you experienced trying to be “good and healthy.”

You want to live with food freedom and achieve your health goals.

You want to make food choices based on satisfaction and full permission foods.

You want to eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full without compulsion to finish the chips and M&Ms because they taunt you from the pantry.

Now what?

Can you still practice intuitive eating AND achieve health goals like lowering cholesterol and blood sugar?

Yep. Watch this 14-ish-minute video!

Then use these 5 steps to create behavior-based goals:

1. Define your desired outcome-based goal

2. Create 1-2 behavior-based goals that promote your desired outcome

3. Practice your behavior-based goals consistently

4. Reflect on your practice. Were you willing and able to be consistent with your behavior-based goals? Why or why not? Stay compassionately curious here! Don’t get judgy or you’ll sabotage your efforts.

5. Decide what’s next. If you haven’t achieved your outcome-based goal yet, what additional behavior-based goals do you need to set to move forward toward your outcome-based goal?

Rinse and repeat.

​

Do you have a health goal for this year?

Hit reply! Yes or no, doesn't matter. I'd love to know either way. 😎

​

Have a great weekend savoring food and your body!
