I need to listen to this kind of reminder every day. Why is it so easy to sink below the “water line” of old habits? whew, lots to keep in my daily said here. On the bright side, I use gardening and sewing to keep myself busy so I do not wander into the kitchen. Eating mindlessly is a HARD habit to break but it can be done! Ive lost 60 plus pounds. Its a slow process but its a hopeful one. Eating more wisely and taking time to fast makes my feet not feel tingly. Thats a pretty simple choice.

Terri,
Another great podcast. I definitely need more of this. So, why do I fast so well for the entire day, then sabotage myself at 9pm at night (even though it is always good clean food). I’m thinking I have an addiction to this behavior, bc I have been doing this for years, so all of your mindset podcasts help me deal with this. You’re right, distraction doesn’t help. I want to use your tools to try to deal with this head on. Also, I have this feeling that late at night, before bed, a bit tired, and relaxed, my more primitive lower brain is making these decisions to eat, because I am struggling with getting past this real hunger. Also, what doesn’t help is I feel so good and content after I eat. Need to change this behavior. Need more tips from Terri. Thank you!

All the feels! I was raised a people pleaser and it's so hard to change that habit.

Nope. I am pleasing myself because I can not please others no matter what I do or don’t do. So I take my comfort in food. I’m not invested in what others eat ever. It is a personal thing. I’m not a victim of anyone but my own self.
