Episode Notes
Your ONE Action Step:
Practice the "Next Choice Reset" this week. Instead of waiting for Monday, treat each meal as a fresh opportunity. No punishment, no guilt - just your next loving choice for your body. Notice how this mindset shift impacts your relationship with food and celebration.

Quotes From This Episode To Inspire YOU:
• "One year of no restarts did more for my goals than five years of Monday restarts"
• "I ate the cake is a fact, not a flaw"
• "You don't need more willpower. You need better systems"
• "Progress isn't linear. There will be fluctuations. That's not failure, that's life"

Key Takeaways:
• Self-compassion increases motivation and resilience
• Your body isn't keeping a scorecard for every celebration
• The 80/20 principle: Most meals nourish, some meals are for joy
• Success comes from building flexible structure, not rigid rules
• Real change happens in community, not isolation

Remember: "When you stop fighting yourself and start understanding yourself, everything shifts." ~Catharine
