Think-Feel-Eat Episode #31: What I Already Know
Hi! I’m Donna Reish, IF teacher, weight loss coach, blogger, and half of “The Minus 220 Pound Pair” as my husband and I have lost over 220 pounds together (160 of that in the past couple of years through the Weight Loss Lifestyle habits and strategies I teach!).
In this episode, I present ten things that I know for sure! (And I encourage you to consider what you already know for sure as well!)
We know more than we think we know!
This is what I tell my sixty kindergarten through twelfth grade students every day! It is only in realizing what we know that we can see how that information can help us. And so it is with weight management, health, fitness….all of it.
In this episode, I discuss ten things that I know for sure—and elaborate on how these things are helping me reach my goals.
Here are a few of them!
1) I know for sure that when I have sugar more than a couple times a week, my eating is way harder to control.
2) I know for sure that when I fast under seventeen hours, I have too many eating hours.
3) I know for sure that I can’t beat myself up down to my goal weight. (See Think Feel Eat #2 and #3 for details on this one!)
4) I know for sure that my Thoughts cause my Feelings….and my Actions are based on those Feelings. Bottom line: Control my Thoughts, control my Actions! (See Think-Feel-Eat #1 for details on this one!)
5) I know for sure that I can’t outrun a fork. It takes unbelievable amounts of exercise to counteract overeating.
6) I know for sure that I only lose weight by eating less food than my body size currently needs/eating the amount of food that is closer to my goal weight. Period. How I make this happen is still somewhat unknown as I get closer to goal (the exact protocol that makes this happen consistently).
Let’s know what we already know…and use it. Let’s learn more so that we can reach our goals!
