What “Triggers” Can Make Us Fat?

 

Our Environment

Is your environment making you fat? Well, ok, maybe not existing in your environment, but there could be “triggers” in your environment that may be sabotaging your success for a healthier you!

Have you ever seriously considered what are the “triggers” that send you into a ‘tailspin” (no pun intended) from your best “laid out” diet or fitness plan?    How many times have you made a New Year Resolution (as many of you are doing now) to lose weight, get fit, or just eat better, and by February or, if you’re lucky, March you are back to your old habits?

Have you ever wondered why it is “just so hard” to stick to something new even when it IS what you really want! What is keeping you from being successful?

“Triggers” for sabotage can come in many forms.  What are yours specifically? Come to our Wholistic Women mini retreat session “Eat, Drink, and Be Merry” and find out!

I know for me, it was when someone noticed I had lost a little weight,  it was like the “approval” I needed to “let up a little” and before I know it….“BAM” back to my old habits within a day or two, and the weight seemed to “JUMP” back on with force, like jello!  (get the visual? :))

Seriously, there are many reasons we don’t do what we say we want to.  Attend the “Eat, Drink, and Be Merry”  Wholistic Women Retreat mini session on January 12th, 2011, from 7:00 pm until 9:00 pm and you will receive valuable information on what are the most common and potentially dangerous “triggers” for sabotage, and then be coached on discovering your “triggers” and guided in creating an environment of success!

Still not convinced you have “triggers” that sabotage your success and the need to eliminate them?

Some “triggers” could actually surprise you, like the fear of success“What???  No Way!!!” You say, “how could someone be afraid of being successful in the very thing they want; like feel better, look better and live better? That is absolutely preposterous!”  No, HONESTLY, this is a “trigger” for some and for more than you think, it could actually be yours!?!  Wouldn’t you like to know if it is?

Another “trigger” could also be what and when you eat!    Now, I know what some of you are thinking, “ok here’s the catch, this is another one of those diet plans where you have to eat certain foods at certain times.   Been there done that!”   Sorry, not in this program, we just want to help you be successful with something that will actually work for you.    Although, many individuals are not aware how much power the food we eat possesses, and how certain nutrients at specific times can actually help avoid times of weakness and temptation, especially when “willpower” is NOT enough! When you learn how to eat, when to eat, and what to eat, you will gain the power to overcome the vulnerable “hunger trigger!

Learn how to enjoy your food and put an end to the “love/hate” relationship you have with food and your body.  We are created to enjoy life and “Eat, Drink, and Be Merry!” Start this year!     Come to the Wholistic Women Retreats mini session and start eating with joy and eliminate the “triggersthat steal it! Learn how to design the environment that will create the success you want.

Come hungry for self-awareness and leave EMPOWERED and JOYFUL!

In Joy…. Sandie

Food Addiction?  How do we stop eating when we need to eat?

Food Addiction? How do we stop eating when we need to eat?

Food Addiction? How do we stop eating when we need to eat?

Have you ever been eating a bag of chips and think “I need to stop” as you reach in to grab another handful?  How about when eating out you unbutton your pants so you can get more in?

Excess weight is one of the biggest contributors of acute and chronic disease and premature death.  What causes us to keep eating when we know we “should” stop?  Certain foods cause us to lose control, and inhibit our ability to stop.  Also, the combination of certain ingredients trigger the pleasure centers of our brain to keep us “chowing down” although we fear we could be at risk of exploding if we don’t stop soon :/.   These ingredients when combined in such a way overrides the center in the brain that says, “this is not good for me and I want to stop” but instead says, “this is too good to worry about that now, another bite would be good.”    Studies have shown this combination of ingredients trigger the same centers of the brain of Cocaine and other addictive drugs.  Thus the question….have we made food our next addiction of choice?

Is there anything we can do to break the addiction when we still need to eat?  At least with other addictions one can stop cold turkey and eliminate it.  What can we do about food?  Is there hope?  Yes, indeed! Participants of the “Food is Love….or IS it?”session will learn what foods to avoid and what foods to prepare and eat that say “Love” in reality!  Learn what foods  Harvest your Best Self!  See you at the retreat!
