I did a soon to be released podcast with Michol Dalcourt the other day. He said something particularly interesting, albeit uncommon during the interview. We talked about the tendency people have to beat themselves up for every occasional dietary transgression. Michol suggested that our emotional response to these moments can be just as damaging as the food itself. What if we enjoyed these moments and appreciated not only the richness of the food, but of the experience? The biochemical response of enjoyment would likely be less detrimental than guilt and shame. Plus, chastising ourselves may produce the same through patterns that sabotage long term adherence in the first place. I came across a quote by author Scott Halford this morning: “I use ‘bacon’ as a catchall for all the foods we’re not supposed to eat but that we love so much that our brain actually experiences pure delight when we put them in our mouth. I healthy existence, in my opinion, isn’t about inhibiting yourself so much that you can’t ever enjoy anything. Every once in a while, go ahead, splurge. Eat that bacon, or donuts, or candy bar-it’s a different kind of brain health.” #betterbeatsperfect #coached #transformationunplugged #coaching #love #life https://www.instagram.com/p/BrDLD8WAXCi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=irmj0gpj42so
