But research suggests that offering rewards to produce specific actions or behaviors really does more harm than good.

Once we learn to listen to our bodies, how do we make room for those foods that are less nourishing and don't actually make us feel great physically? How do you eat the foods that you really only want when you are feeling the urge to overeat or binge?
I struggled with this for a very long time. And when I discovered the solution, it blew my mind.

Most of the time when we try to create change, we start with our behaviors.
But behavior change is external and surface-level at best.
If you want REAL change that stands the test of time, you need to focus on creating internal change first. Because once you make internal changes, there's no going back to your old ways.

As children, we're taught that we should fill others' buckets; that we should be kind to them to help them feel good.
But as adults, we have a new lesson to learn. And that's the idea that we need to fill our own buckets; that we are ultimately responsible for how empty or full they are. And we can't wait for other people or external circumstances to give us good thoughts and feelings.

We're so used to taking our bodies for granted - even hating them - that we think being friends means begrudging acceptance. We aim to tolerate our bodies (all the while still hoping they will change and become worth liking).
If that's you, it's time for a reality check, because that isn't being a true friend in any sense of the word. And if you want to lose weight in a sustainable way, you need to step up and become a true friend to your body.

So many of us are terrified of even the idea of listening to our bodies. We've been taught that we need structure, rules, and restriction to lose weight and that our bodies are working against us.
But that couldn't be further from the truth. It's when we finally stop trying to control and micromanage our bodies, and focus on our minds instead, that our bodies can finally do their part and let go of excess weight.

Even when we say that we're doing it for ourselves, a lot of the time we're still trying to please other people; to fit ourselves into some mold of what society deems "worthy". And so "I'm doing it for me" actually means "I'm doing it so I don't have to feel terrified of what others think of me."
But losing weight in spite of yourself is always going to be a losing battle. Learn why coming into integrity with yourself is a necessity to create sustained weight loss.

Do you save all of your joy until the evenings or weekends?
So many of us sacrifice and simply survive for most of the day, waiting until we have "free time" to relax and enjoy ourselves. And we approach dieting the same way.
Just keep your head down and eat what you should during the day, and if you do what you're supposed to, you can reward yourself with something at the end of the day, or maybe give yourself a cheat meal or a cheat day on the weekend. Sacrifice your now for later. That's unfortunately how we're taught to live life. Not only is this just plain wrong. It also backfires and keeps us away from what we really want.

Because food restriction is so ingrained for so many of us that we don't even realize we are doing it. Even if you are not presently on a diet, if you have been trying to lose weight for a while, you are probably engaging in one or more of these behaviors.
And I know it was so eye-opening for me to realize, even after I had done a lot of thought work and had really cut down on binging and was being a lot more free with the kinds of foods I let myself eat, I was still doing some of these things. And when I truly stopped these behaviors I felt a level of freedom around food that I don't think I ever have before.

We humans are really good at twisting our brains into knots and confusing ourselves so that we don't have to make a decision and thus don't have to take action. And if you ever feel like you don't know what to eat to lose weight, that's a signal that you are overcomplicating things. Because when it comes down to it, weight loss is less about what you eat and more about how you eat.

Some believe that sugar is evil and many believe that it's addictive. And I'm sure many of you have called yourselves sugar addicts seriously and flippantly.
I'm right there with you, or I was. There was definitely a time in my life when I felt that sugar was the enemy and that if I could just rid myself of it I would suddenly be free, but I have since learned that is not the right approach for me and I'm betting that it's not the right approach for most of us who overeat and binge.

Do you use food to cope?
If so, the standard advice is not to run away from those feelings. We're told to feel our feelings and allow them into our experience; to feel our urges and just ride them out. But that's easier said than done when we don't have the right mindset and strategy. And that's what I want to share with you today.

There are many who believe that we need to break up with the scale completely and stop using it to judge ourselves. And while I agree with the overall sentiment - that we shouldn't judge our worth by our weight, I don't agree with the method.
You don't need to get rid of the scale to get rid of the judgment you have about your weight. Let's talk about how.

Planning what to eat ahead of time isn't a diet or restriction strategy. It's basic self-care that enables you to eat what you like when you like. It's also a great tool to help you create balanced meals that satisfy your body AND your brain. And it also helps you be mindful about those times when you reach for food on autopilot.
