I’ve been re-reading the materials and have a lot of takeaways of course, but I wanted to share my #1 takeaway from my meetings with Amy. I often get down on myself for having the urge, thought, desire to eat X that is off-plan for me. I always feel ashamed that still after years of low carb eating I still want the things. Amy’s response got me once and I think about it often … the thoughts will never go away, it’s what YOU DO after that matters! (Can’t remember exactly what she said, but this is what I took away) I’m learning to reframe and when I feel an urge to eat something or have another one of my famous mystical food dreams it’s not the fact that I am thinking about or desiring food , it’s what I do with that. Now I say to myself … this thought/urge/desire is normal and fine and happens to everyone BUT what I do with it is something I have control over. #newme23
