TAKING ACTION: ✅ Share your weekly wins below and let’s celebrate one another! 🎉 I know today is all about celebrating our wins, and don’t worry—we’re going to get there; however, last weekend, we began discussing the reality that many people struggle on the weekends. As the honeymoon phase begins to seem more like a distant memory, I think we need to continue this conversation and get you mentally set up for the weekend ahead! 💯 As I mentioned last Saturday, I believe the weekends are a struggle mainly for these reasons ⬇️ 👉You’re used to eating out, parties, etc., on weekends. These scenarios typically offer highly palatable foods full of sugar and fat. When you eat them, your brain releases a major splurge of dopamine (the feel-good chemical). 👉Conditioned Reinforcement. Your body and brain remember the time, place, and even potential triggers. The next time you go to that same restaurant on a Friday night, it begins craving that dopamine again; therefore, you eat the food. Do these most common reasons make sense to you? Do they feel correct as you’re considering them? If so, the good news is that you can overcome them—however, the only way to overcome them is to change things up so that your brain can create new habits. For the sake of time today, we’ll talk about some strategies first thing in the morning, friends! Now, let’s go crush our day and, as always, celebrate our small wins! 🎉
