In this week’s episode of the Fat Murder Podcast, co-coach,
Steph Miramontes (@soulcenteredfitness.co)
and I discuss why telling yourself no isn’t always a form of
restriction.
In fact, in many instances, telling ourselves no is a form of
self-respect, self-love, or self-care.
Consider a plant-based eater, like our own Coach Steph Miramontes,
who has chosen this lifestyle for ethical reasons. Not eating meat
and other animal products is an easy decision for her because it
aligns with her core values. She’s not operating from a scarcity
mindset by making this choice.
The same could be said of someone with celiac disease who doesn’t
eat gluten due to an intolerance. They just works around it by
eating other foods they enjoys.
When making a decision that honors your values, it’s not coming
from a place of scarcity with a goal of weight loss in mind.
You’re not choosing this with the hope to simply lose weight or
force yourself to do something you don’t want to do, right?
Sometimes telling ourselves no is kindness, not restriction.
Other talking points:
Why is the human brain
always wanting more?
How to overcome the
self-sabotaging “I deserve it” mentality
The powerful realization
that our thoughts are not-always the truth and how to harness these
emotions
Give this episode a listen and let us know what you learned about
yourself. Any powerful "a-ha" moments or realizations? We'd love to
hear them!
