How to Start Eating Healthy
Have you tried over and over again to eat healthier & it just hasn’t happened yet?
Let’s take a little deeper look at this-
It starts with our thoughts…
When you want to make a change in the way you eat or workout, coming from a place of hate, dislike or disgust for your body or self does not work for the long term. I was first introduced the thought model by Brooke Castillo and Byron Katie, and it blew my mind!!
If your thoughts are:
- I hate the way I look; I need to lose weight.
- My thighs look so disgusting, I am never eating desert again.
- I wish I could look like (fill in the blank).
These are not thoughts that will get you to a healthy and whole place.
Imagine yourself saying any of those above thoughts to your friend, daughter or mother. We would not say these things to another person, but the thoughts feel automatic when it’s about us.
What is thought work?
Thought work is a way to change our result without changing our circumstance. It is simply taking a circumstance in our life (the circumstance is neutral- so no descriptive words) and learning how our thoughts control our feelings, our feelings control our actions (or inaction) and then that controls our results.
Let’s try it out with this example…
- Circumstance: Eating
- Thought: I will never be able to eat healthy, I am horrible at this!!
- Feeling: Shame
- Action: Eat comfort food
- Result: Continue unhealthy eating patterns
Thought rework-
Circumstance: Eating
Questions to Ask Yourself-
- What do I want my result to be? Eat healthy
- What action do I need to do to eat healthy? Meal plan, prep, buy healthy food
- What feeling do I need to do this? Determination
- What thought do I need to feel this? I feel good when I eat healthy food & I deserve to feel good
So, the new thought work is:
- Circumstance: Eating
- Thought: I feel good when I eat healthy food & I deserve to feel good
- Feeling: Determined
- Action: Buy healthy food, meal plan/prep for the week
- Result: Eating healthy, my pants fit better, I am happy when I look in the mirror
