Overcoming Self-Sabotage and Cultivating a Mindset for Healthy Choices

Far 2 Fabulous

Episode 2
Ever wonder why those New Year's resolutions seem to crumble faster than Aunt Edna's dry fruitcake? You're not alone. Julie and Catherine are peeling back the curtain on the psychological drama that unfolds every January. We reminisce about holiday feasting—a time when we all become 'human dustbins'—and uncover the science of cravings, revealing how your brain isn't always your ally in the pursuit of health. It's a biological rebellion, not a personality flaw, when your body mounts a coup against post-holiday health kicks. Awareness is your ally in this tale of transformation!
Laughing at our collective self-sabotaging ways, we tackle the critical issue of negative self-talk that typically accompanies diet and exercise regimes. Ever find yourself feeling like you're not measuring up in the grand gym comparison? That's your brain's protective instincts kicking in, not a lack of willpower. We’re spilling the beans on the food industry's role in this narrative and why you might want to say "thank you, next" to those manipulative marketing tactics. By the end of our chat, you'll learn to spot these moments as opportunities for growth, not grounds for guilt.
Finally, we're taking a magnifying glass to the mind's mysterious influence on our food choices. Julie and Catherine share an eye-opening study about how what you believe about your food can actually affect your body's reaction to it—blood sugar levels and all! We unpack the power of internal narratives and invite you to meet 'Nagging Nelly' and 'Scarlet Power,' the voices in your head that could use a bit of direction. It's not about self-fault or blame; it's about steering our minds toward healthier habits that resonate with our deepest values. Strap in for a journey that promises as much self-discovery as it does laughter.
