Let’s tie everything together from the past 8 weeks! Over the last 8 weeks, I’ve taught you a lot of simple, practical tips, which hopefully have started to develop into your everyday habits.  

The first is the 20 Minute Meal, the second is the EBT check in, the emotional brain training check in, putting your fork down, or your utensils down between bites, at least three times. Breathing between bites consciously, at least three times, probably breathing more than that, but these are conscious breaths. Chew your food and eat with all your senses. Eat until satisfied, not full, and, using the hunger scale as a practical tool, but embracing appetite as the emotional tool.

Also, learning about being BAD which is about Breaking free from your routine, acting naughty and doing some fun, crazy shit!

Now, let’s take a quick moment to review these materials so you know what you’ve got and how you might use it.  Each item has a link back to the orignial blog post + a video that corresponds to it in case you lean better by listening 🙂

The 20 Minute Meal Journal. And this is a really cool handout that you can use to teach yourself how to do the 20-Minute Meal and how to fill out the journal.

Remember, the 20 Minute Meal Journal is NOT  about judging what you eat. If you’ve filled out food journals in the past like I have, I found there’s a lot of shame and awfulness attached to them. So this is NOT about judging good or bad, this is about really understanding how much food is right for your body. And that your stomach and brain are the best decision makers about that, and this is simply a way to discover that.
