I wasn’t sitting at a family table. I was in a hotel room (still a blessing, yes), technically homeless, carving a cantaloupe like a turkey. Heartbroken. Stressed. Trying to finish a doctorate on $1500/month stipend...and that was only during the academic months. $0 in the Summer. Routinal for 7.5 years. Yet, THIS TIME, determined NOT to fall back into emotional eating. That melon ended up being a mirror. A mindset shift. Proof that you can retrain your brain even when life is falling apart. And listen — my overall body type is slimmer than most, but this belly? Whewww it holds stories: stress, shame, survival. You can’t "gym away" what you haven’t emotionally released. So if you're still wrestling with food that don’t love you back…before you spend another dime on a gym membership —come meet me in my Brain Gym. Doors open Dec 5–26. Buy 1 → Donate 1. Let’s heal AND help someone else heal too. 👉🏾 Join here: https://drdenisethinks.com/products/eat-mor-electric-challenge DISCOUNT CODE: SKOOL

Hey you! I'm unable to create my blog for today as it's shut done. I'm guessing for Cyber Monday, but yeah. So anywhoo, I'll just post it here for the time being. So here's what I want to chat with you about today... About anyone being able to start a new routine....like shopping online for the best "discount." But protecting your routine? That’s the part most peeps aren’t prepared for. When you’re building new habits—especially ones that go against years of conditioning (ouch)—you have to start thinking like a bodyguard for the version of you you're becoming. Here’s what that means: - You don’t keep chips in the pantry “for the kids” if you know it’s a trigger. - You don’t accept invites to that spot that always leaves you bloated and defeated. - And you definitely don’t explain yourself to people committed to misunderstanding your growth. Whew!! #flashbacks This ain’t about restriction—it’s about respecting the new boundaries that support your peace, your energy, and your power. So here’s today’s thought: “The stronger your boundaries, the less you need willpower.” Let that marinate. Now tell me in the comments:👉🏾 What boundary or "temptation trap" do you need to reset this week? We’re building lives that don’t require starting over every Monday. Let’s protect the new you. 💚— Dr. Denise THINKS P.S. Want to go deeper and pay it forward?

Just wanted to stop by and say hey! I personally don't participate in some holidays including Black Friday etc. To me..to meeeee....its a bunch of dark psychology ties and im here to help you all see the games. What do I look like participating in it? Anywhoo, don't let me spoil your fun. Enjoy your time with loved ones. And while you're eating, become more aware with every bite and soon you'll be able to accomplish your goals without thinking about it. Preciate yall!

Just like you can get infatuated with a person… you can get infatuated with food. Sugar + stress = dopamine ✊🏾 Dopamine = “whew, this feels good for a second.” But the aftermath? Bloating. Guilt. Fatigue. Fog. Your body is whispering: “Boo… this ain’t love. This is survival.” When you eat on impulse, it’s not lack of discipline — it’s your primitive brain taking the wheel. Awareness = Power. And you can rewire this whole thing. ✊🏾 Join my Skool while it's FREE — https://www.skool.com/fed-up-break-bad-habit-plan-1517/about
