šŸ”„[02-05] How to make better choices when dealing with food


Listen Later

Mónica León: I want to open up about my "Health challenges". Fortunately what I am going through is reversible but I am on a very strict diet regime (plus supplements). The treatment is working but the journey ahead is still long. 1. I need some perspective because this journey is asking me to be super disciplined. 2. I need to reframe this journey and focus on building PATIENCE. 3. I need creative strategies that aim for BALANCE or else I will lose my mind with so many restrictions. 4. I will prepare a list of scenarios where I tend to sabotage progress, we can work on that too.

  • Dig into the emotional level on why you are making the wrong choice of food and get radically honest about what food is solving for you.
  • Start building safety nets like water in hand,and look at the healthiest version of a crunchy food that can help alleviate or reduce anxiety.
  • Have a better understanding of what are the alternatives that you can use to solve problems that the food is solving.
  • Focus on the awareness by taking a few minutes to write down your thoughts before making the offending choices, and think how you can alleviate the anxiety or missing out on shared experience.
  • Change one thing at a time instead of eliminating everything from your diet.
  • Protect your future self by controlling environments like using Instacart instead of going to the grocery store.
