#transformationtuesday

I haven't done a #transformationtuesday post in a bit so I wanted to share how much this is much more of an EMOTIONAL transformation than a physical one.

Ya see I used to struggle with binge and emotional eating & tbh, if I have a bag of doritos or white claw in my house, it's STILL a battle.

So I keep it out, and I'm now only a social drinker and have gone from a drink a day down to 2 a week.

And binge worthy foods...no way. If we HAVE to have them in the house, then I ask Eddie to hide them, and he does. It's a good system bc I know it works bc I've shared this with him.

Ya see when you don't think you have a problem you will say that you DON'T and you will hide the fact that you are eating everything in sight when no one is looking and you will also weigh yourself everyday, multiple times a day...and also not talk about it.

You will also workout LIKE CRAZY to make up for the fact that you feel like you "ate bad" and to you there is no easy way "get healthy"....I get it.

Until finally you reach out to a friend, & say you have a problem.

You also ask your husband to throw out the scale. Which he does.

Then you join a health challenge to learn more about WHY turning to food, nail biting, and anxiety has been this longterm struggle.

You buy vegetables......then you throw away a lot of vegetables. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Until you cook them that one time and see a bit of hope.

You start drinking a smoothie daily along with your fruit for the day, and your gut starts to heal and you start counting your wins.

..then 10 years later your hub asks to get a scale and you say GO FOR IT...then you weigh yourself and feel nothing. No guilt, no shame, nothing.

That's growth, my friends. Admit theres a problem and reach out to me, or another friend you trust if you felt this on some level. I know there's a better way. This is NOT about being perfect, this is about moving forward and setting up an environment suitable for YOU and YOUR goals.

And trust me, your mindset around food CAN be changed. You got this. 80/20. Live a life that's liveable so you love it.

Love you,

Xo
