Throw in a big squeeze of lemon to each glass. Drinking water first thing in the morning will help you wake up, and reduce inflammation. Keep a water bottle with you wherever you go so you can stay hydrated throughout the day. I love adding slices of citrus fruits and herbs like mint, basil or rosemary to my water!

Movement will instantly brighten your mood. What type of movement you choose will largely depend on your mobility and flexibility. Thereโs no need to push yourself beyond whatโs comfortable for you. Find an activity that feels good and brings you joy. Weโre always much more likely to stick to habits that actually feel good for us to do.
You can eat lighter the next couple days, but donโt try to โmake up for the weekendโ or punish yourself for your choices. Just get back on track with your eating goals and get yourself meal prepped for the coming week. Starving yourself just leads to more overindulgence.
Your body is working hard to recover! As we sleep our organs have a chance to rest, and our digestion gets a break. This allows our body to kick into fat-burning mode. Itโs proven that we lose more weight when we sleep well โ so even if youโre doing all the right things, youโre likely to lose less if you stay up too late or eat right before you crash for the night.
Learn to wake up each day, refreshed (regardless of the previous daysโ struggles) โ and move forward with positive intention. Self-love is going to carry you through this journey.
Allow yourself permission to be human.
No one is perfect.
Including you.
…so go easy on yourself.
We all slip up and itโs useless to shame or blame yourself for doing so.
Just get right back up and keep doing what is best for your body. Eat nutritious food, stay hydrated, get good rest, and speak words of life over yourself today, friends

But just because it calls doesn’t mean I have to answer.
Here are some things I have learned;
First of all, breaking free from emotional eating is always about choices. I am not a victim of some cosmic junk food force.
Doritos & Oreos do not magically jump into the cart and pay for itself. It only gets in the cart if I put it there.
*Note to self….Don’t put the junk food in the cart!
If I do purchase the junk food (against my better judgement) it is not “for the kids”. I am lying to myself. Truth is, it’s for me. My kids will be just fine without chips and cookies. In fact, they are probably much better off.
If someone else brings junk food into the house, throw it away. I am not ‘”wasting it”. If that’s not an option because it will cause WWIII, I am still responsible for the choices I make. No one can force me to eat it. And I will not eat it just so I don’t ” hurt their feelings”. The truth is, I eat it because I want to.
When I am tempted to eat junk food, that is a clear indicator to me that I am trying to medicate myself or fill whatever is missing in my life with food. *Another note to self…..that won’t turn out well.
Challenge myself (it’s not really about food…there are bigger issues going on)
Call a friend
And voila! Instead of my emotions taking over, I take over & I win!
