Moral:
believe in yourself
you will face challenges-
you wont always have 100% of the support of others around you
you will get frustrated and at times feel defeated
you will hear no- probably not over 1000 times- but several no’s will come your way
and you will KEEP GOING ANYWAYS
you do not have to always make everyone happy
you are not obligated to put aside your goals in order to tip toe around others
you and your goals are important
you will sometimes hear no
and on the flip side of that, you will be able to give a NO
you will be able to say NO sometimes when you need to
I liked this story for this week in particular due to our possible challenges over this coming week-
If you are an American- it is our thanksgiving- the day all around eating
and being around family
which both can have challenges
don’t worry you will be ready
This podcast is dedicated to help you successfully survive thanksgiving weekend
First let’s discuss expectations for this week
According to the Calorie Control Council, Americans eat about 4,500 calories during a typical Thanksgiving meal—
consisting of about 1,500 calories from snacking and 3,000 from the turkey and trimmings.
are you getting anxiety yet?
if you are overweight- it is not due to thanksgiving- its due to overeating consistently everyday
Remember to keep common sense in the back of your head=
worst case scenario=
if the average American eats 4500 calories for a thanksgiving meal
and you add in your other meals that day, say you ate 500 calories for brunch
That’s 5000 calories for the day.
If your normal calorie budget you aim for is 1500
you will be over by 3500 calories= which is equal to 1 pound
so you can go into thanksgiving with no restrictions and eat whatever you want- and the only damage is 1 pound- not 10
Another study I read showed Americans gain on average of 7 pounds throughout the holidays
This is thanksgiving through New Years
You may be nodding your head from experience… or in memory of… holidays past and weight gain
one thing I can promise you…
Is that If allow yourself some flexibility for this one meal, you will not gain 7 pounds
HOWEVER you say “screw it” and eat everything you see until the first of the year- you may gain 7 pounds or more
And the #1 reason why people say “screw it”: is because they have been depriving themselves and can’t take it anymore
If you are working the best life plan as designed
YOU are not depriving yourself- so you don’t have to worry about going down that rabbit hole
So decide how you want to go about your thanksgiving expectations
be realistic and fair to yourself
whether that means to you allowing a certain amount of weight gain, not gaining, or losing weight
yes you heard that right…
