1. Kai’s birthday

   1. Planned for eating out

      1. Feeling horrible after eating out and drinking lately, trying to figure it out

      2. Fried foods bother me, so I planned for none because I was drinking

      3. Planned to eat protein while drinking

      4. Ordered, it was all fried, so I chose 3 small things and stopped– no fries. This worked because I planned it, I thought about it ahead of time. My brain suggested the fries many times, but I was using my higher brain because I was prepared.

      5. Planned for cake. 

      6. All went great, felt great

      7. Keep in mind I’ve intentionally built trust with myself over the last 5 years!! It takes practice and this is what we do strategically in 90 Days.

   2. Next day, didn’t plan

      1. Ate a piece of cake at lunch– I was tired, by brain suggested it, it “sounded good” “just today” etc. 

      2. No shame or guilt, just curious observation… what was different? The planning

1. Why we plan in the first place

   1. Upper vs. lower brain lesson

   2. Why we can’t trust our lower brain

      1. Survival

      2. Urges

      3. Irrational

   3. Why we use our upper brain

      1. She knows what’s up! She knows what you want!

         1. Join my 90 Days program to map all of this out for you

2. When you learn exactly what to eat to end your over hunger and your cravings, plus you learn how to stop sabotaging your goals i.e. emotional eating, you will be able to focus all of your energy on being who you want to be with food… the woman who can enjoy her son’s birthday party without guilt or deprivation. 

3. I recommend you plan what you’re going to eat 24 hours in advance, and then reflect on what you actually ate. When you see that you didn’t eat what you’d planned, or don’t plan, like I did, get curious instead of critical, learn, and show up differently next time.

4. In my 90 Days program I walk you through all four pillars of this work so that you, too, can stop overeating and lose unwanted weight for the LAST TIME.
