Let’s talk about thought patterns.
I still find that there are times when I just want to sit and drink even though I quit drinking 2 years ago. I find that it’s one of the things that I crave a lot.
And it probably has something to do with the social aspect associated with drinking.
When I have that craving I think, “Well, I’m gonna feel crappy.”
And we crave things, because it’s our brain trying to save us from ourselves.
What happens is we get into this thought that I’d like to call The Grand Canyon of Thought.
And it’s just something that we say to ourselves over and over again but in reality what we have is an opportunity to change our thoughts.
Whenever we want to make a change, the first thing we need is some awareness.
Because change happens in an instant but it doesn’t mean anything unless we take action.
Have you ever wondered about the 3 things you can do right now to start losing weight?
It doesn’t have to be big.
Because you can’t lose a hundred pounds overnight. It’s just not possible.
But when you start to be the person who lost a hundred pounds, that’s when you can step into that change.
And I talk more about that in today’s podcast episode with Katie Corbett who has a master’s degree in community health education and is a certified health education specialist.
She also teaches busy moms how to manage stress and anxiety without using food and how to make time for self-care.

• Caring for everyone and putting yourself last.
• The thing that made Katie feel jealous (she’s not a jealous person)
• A year of grace
• It all starts with awareness
• The three things you can do right now to start losing weight.
