1 week back in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿..

Missed Zahra Ciardi | Psychologist & Founder birthday 💔

Miss eating out every day 🍽️

Miss it being constantly roasting 🌞

BUT

I went to amymurrrray bridal shower

Caught up with Zoey Calderwood & Yasmin Calderwood for a Nando’s 🐔

Celebrated Janette Hill birthday 🎂

Enjoyed running in the cooler weather & having actual pavements to run on! Lol

The fresh air, I love Asia but the air pollution OMG 😆

And I’ve got a lot of fun planned over the next few weeks whilst we’re home 🕺

I used to properly dread coming back to Scotland

It almost felt like back to Scotland = back to reality

Even if I knew it was only for a month or so..

But I’ve realised it wasn’t Scotland that was the problem

It was the story I was telling myself about coming to Scotland before I even got here 🫠

If you decide in advance that something’s going to be a certain way,

Your brain will go find you the evidence for it 🤪

It’s not psychic, it’s just doing what you told it to do 😉

Instead of thinking about all the neggy things

^ mainly pre-empting the cold, sh*tty weather 🤣

I started looking at all the things I was looking forwards to💡

I eat out for 2 meals a day..

And have done for months,

Restaurant food used to be so stressful for me,

Now it’s just part of my routine now 🤷🏼‍♀️

A question I get asked a lot from clients around eating out is “what do I do if I go over my calories”

The idea isn’t to never go over your calories,

It’s to act like the idea is to behave like the person who all ready has the results

So that eventually, you don’t have to track calories 💡

Swipe to see what that actually looks like ➡️

This might seem like the most reasonable thing do do..

But if you’re leaving huuuuge gaps between eating you’re not making decisions anymore

You’re going to be reacting to your hunger instead of being proactive about it 😆

I’m not surprised you’re not present in the moment because all you can think about is how hungry you are

I’m not surprised you’ve order the whole menu before you’ve even said hi to whoever you’ve sat with

I’m not surprised you can’t keep your hands out the biscuit tin come 7pm 🫠

If you eat regularly enough then you actually get a say in what you’re putting in

Your not uncontrollable around food,

You’re just setting yourself up to be 💡

STOP FILLING YOUR CUPBOARDS WITH SH*TE 😆..

“But I just need chocolate in the house”

No you don’t.

If it wasn’t there, you wouldn’t eat it

This isn’t a will power problem, it’s an environment problem 🤪

And guess what,

If you’re not scranning crisps and biscuits every night

Then that wee pastry on a Saturday 🥐

They few drinks you were stressed about

Don’t even touch the sides 🤷🏼‍♀️

You don’t need a meal plan stuck on the fridge 😆

You just need the first clue what your having for your next few meals 🤷🏼‍♀️

If I know I’m going for pizza at night,

I’ll make sure the rest of my day is high protein and has plenty of fruit and veg 😉

If I’ve had a burger and chips for dinner, tomorrow morning isn’t skipping breakfast

Its making sure I have something that sets me up well for the day ahead 🍳🍞

You make enough decisions in a day

If you can’t decide what you want to watch on Netflix at night,

What makes you think deciding what to eat on a whim where your hangry is going to be an
