I am on a work trip to Greensboro NC this week. I travel for work quite a bit. In the past whenever I was out of my routine, I would use that as an opportunity to overeat. I would not plan and just eat whatever I encountered. I remember having certain places at the airport I would frequent where I could get my fix. I would overeat at night and bring back dessert to eat in my hotel room. This was my little secret. I could do it when no one was watching.
But I was watching. I would then beat myself up after for eating too much and would feel out of control. I would feel shame because I was eating against my own will. I used “being out of town” to disconnect from myself and avoid the emotions I was feeling. It is so freeing to travel now; I plan what I am going to eat and then keep the commitment to myself. I don’t use it as an opportunity to disconnect. I don’t binge eat and have a secret eating party for one in my room. I follow the same process that I do at home when I travel. I don’t get confused about what food to eat or how I take care of myself. Learning how to retrain your brain takes time but it is possible. I have learned a process that has helped me and now I feel more freedom and self-love than I ever have. It is possible for you too. I am opening my new program on June 1st, with limited availability. Stay tuned…
