1 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: Yoloha episode three. We're talking about Chrissy in this series. 2 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: So these are short little episodes just to I was 3 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: just going to say, with your palette, with your wisel, 4 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: but just to hopefully provide a little bit of support 5 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: and guidance through the silly season. So the topic of 6 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: today is how to handle slash prevent falling off the wagon. 7 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: So the health wagon is what I'm getting at here. 8 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: For a very long time, probably the better part of 9 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: the last ten years, I've always always had so much 10 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: food anxiety and food guilt around Christmas time, to the 11 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: point that, like the two weeks leading up to Christmas, 12 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: I would often just overindulge because I knew that I'd 13 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: be really attempted on Christmas Day, and I do so 14 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: much damage in the lead up to Christmas of just 15 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: like overeating, binge eating, eating all the wrong stuff that 16 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: my body doesn't thrive off, and then feeling horrible by 17 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: Christmas and so sick and full and bloated by Christmas 18 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: that it was like you just defeated the whole purpose 19 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: of enjoying Christmas. For those that are new to this, 20 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: like my background is eating disorders. That's what I've been 21 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: through definitely a battle with anorexia disordered eating, binge eating, 22 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: and a bit of authorexia too, like real obsession with 23 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: health food and counting calories and whatnot as well. So 24 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,559 Speaker 1: I want to talk about how to stay healthy during Christmas, 25 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: but I also want to talk about guilt and how 26 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: to kind of like let go of that, especially around Chrissy. 27 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: And I'm going to share some things that have kind 28 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: of like that help me and that continue to help 29 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: me kind of stay I don't want to say like 30 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: on the wagon, but like just make me feel healthy. So, 31 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: first of all, if you really think about it, Christmas 32 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: Day is just one day in the year. And yes, 33 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot of treats there. There's often a lot 34 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: of like really indulgent things that we usually don't have. 35 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: That's what happens once a year, right, And I would 36 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: rather you enjoy that Christmas Day wholeheartedly, zero guilt, zero worry, 37 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: and just be with the people that you love and 38 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: enjoy a beautiful meal around celebrating Christmas and celebrating life. 39 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: If you're like me, though, in the unknown and the 40 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: une expected and the lack of control can be quite 41 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: triggering for you, then I get it. It can be 42 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: stress causing and it doesn't matter how many people go 43 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: to you. No, but you know it's people you love 44 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: and it's a celebration. Your brain still goes, oh, but 45 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: I won't have control, and I don't know if I'm 46 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: going to be able to control myself here. And your 47 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: brain becomes your own worst enemy. So what I am proposing, 48 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,839 Speaker 1: first of all, is guilt. Drop that friggin thing. There 49 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: is no benefit to you whatsoever if you feel guilty 50 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: after you eat something. Right. I love fruit mince pies 51 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: at Christmas time, love them, love, love, love them to 52 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: the point that we've already been making them the boss 53 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: and I I know this is coming out. What date 54 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: have I got this coming out? Friday, the twenty seventh 55 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: of November. I'm recording this a couple of weeks in advance, 56 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: and I've already we've already made a big batch of 57 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: gluten free fruit mince pies, so I've probably already consumed 58 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: I know, like twelve. I don't feel guilty about it. 59 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: What I make sure I do when I do consume 60 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: those foods, like those more treaty things, I want to 61 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: enjoy it mindfully with people that I love, I say 62 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: to people, food is here for two reasons. One, yes 63 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: to our issue. Two it's here to share with the 64 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: people you love and celebrate. And that's what Christmases are 65 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: often tied around, to celebration. And so if you can 66 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: drop the guilt, that's the first trick and just be like, 67 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: I'm going to enjoy this presently mindfully. So mindful eating 68 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: is massive at the moment. That's where you're engaged with 69 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: the person you're having the food with. You're noticing the smells, 70 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: the textures, the sounds, everything that's going on in the moment, 71 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: as opposed to mindlessly eating on autopilot or kind of 72 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: like binging or over consuming. Mindful living and like that 73 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: cold you know, being present and being connected would prevent 74 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: any kind of autopilot eating anyway. So see if you 75 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: can drop the guilt. If you've got real issues around it, 76 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: I would say see a therapist. I'm absolutely not qualified 77 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: to give you advice on this in a professional manner, 78 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: and I see a therapist once a week for exactly this. 79 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: So I'm very pro mental health and getting support for 80 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: your mental health. If you're like I have no idea 81 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: where to start, you could I've seen specialist counselors for 82 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: eating disorder. I've found that I resonate better with a 83 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: therapist that I can work on everything with. But I 84 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: have been down the path of working specifically on eating 85 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: disorder stuff. So there are people out there that are 86 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: really helpful in helping you navigate confronting food situations. That's 87 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: literally their jam and what they do. So there is 88 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: help out there if you were even half as bad 89 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: as what I was at my worst. And I'm pretty 90 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: comfortable now and I still see a therapist once a week, 91 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: so I'm going to stop ranting about mental health. I 92 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: love it as far as like nourishing yourself around Christmas 93 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 1: and the festive time where there's more booze. You know, 94 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: you go to parties, there's cannapees and finger food, and 95 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: you know, you have one thing and then you it 96 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: feels like you've just opened up Pandora's box and next 97 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: minute you know you can't stop yourself all that kind 98 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: of stuff. So the first thing that I would do 99 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: is say, picky battles. So if you know you've got 100 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: a few weeks coming up, this where what the twenty 101 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: seventh and I've been We're about a month out from Chrissy. 102 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: If you know you've got like two or three things 103 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: coming up in a week, pickyr Battles, only drink at 104 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: one or two. You don't need to drink at every 105 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: every event. With the food thing. If I'm worried that, 106 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: like I think the food at an event is going 107 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: to be yark or not gluten free, or I'm gonna 108 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: feel triggered, I just eat before I go, and my 109 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: treat will be having a few glasses of wine. And 110 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: I do drink every now and then, and I feel 111 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: zero guilt when I do because I enjoy it mindfully 112 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: with the people that I'm celebrating that moment with. So 113 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: I think it's be prepared. If you know you're going 114 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: to something where you're like, oh, I don't think they're 115 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: going to have what I want, or it's going to 116 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: be yucky finger food, but eat before you go, no props, 117 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: no one cares, or kind of like Picky Battles, Hey, 118 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: I'm going to go to that event on Thursday, But 119 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: the one on Tuesday, I'll just pop in for half 120 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: an hour, just have a mineral water and go on 121 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: my merry way. And then the one on Friday, I'm 122 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: just going to go in and see, like, read the play, 123 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: and if it feels good, I'll stay there. If it 124 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: doesn't feel good, I'm getting out. You know, Like, I 125 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: think you've got to kind of in a weird kind 126 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: of way, prepare but then also be willing to go 127 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: with the flow. I'm giving you totally opposite advice in 128 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: that one sentence, but I think if you're prepared for 129 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: like worst case scenario there's nothing there that you can eat, 130 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: or you're going to feel triggered when you're there, then 131 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: the prep is to eat something before you go. Or 132 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: on the flip side, if you're like I haven't got 133 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: anything prepared, I'm just going to go. I don't want 134 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: to drink on an empty stomach, so I'll make sure 135 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: I eat something. I'm just going to stipulate it's gluten free. 136 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: Every event you go to will have something gluten free. 137 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: I know it sounds like i'm speaking to influences going 138 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: to events right now, but there's a lot of Christmas 139 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: parties we ultimately all end up going to them, and 140 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: I want you to know you can make it work 141 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: for you. Drop the feeling of people judging you. I 142 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: used to be like, oh, my god, if I don't drink, 143 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: people are going to start saying stuff, who cares? No 144 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: one cares? Do you? You do? You? Another thing that 145 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: I like to kind of like put into my diet 146 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: if I feel like I'm a bit of out of balance, 147 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: or the sugar wagon is kind of like creeping in. 148 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: And sometimes that'll be because I've had a few nights 149 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: out or I've had some chocolate and then the next 150 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: few days I keep eating it and keep letting the 151 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: chocolate stain, and I've just noticed that I've kind of 152 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: got a bit cranky and I'm leaning into sugar and 153 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: I've lost kind of my balance a little bit. Well, 154 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: I do, and a lot of Nutritionus and Natural pass 155 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: are really anti this, so I'm probably gonna ruffle some 156 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: feathers here. But I really love ordering a two day 157 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: juice cleanse. And I love this Melbourne company called Karmik. 158 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: They're great, They're amazing.

So 169 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: I do like it. But I don't want you to 170 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: come and do it because you're feeling guilty, like I 171 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: want you to do it because you're like, hey, I 172 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: want to up my health for a few days because 173 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: I know I'm going to be really indulging over Christmas 174 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: or after Christmas. I know I'm going to feel a 175 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: little bit heavy and bloated. I'm going to go and 176 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: do a comic cleanse because I want a reset. That's 177 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: why I like it. Like I said, some people don't 178 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: like it, I love it. I also love the company. 179 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: In the ethos of the company, these guys are really awesome. 180 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: They care, they've been around for yoonks and the bit 181 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 1: that I love most. One of the things I love 182 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: most is their message around sustainability. Everything is in a 183 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: glass bottle and after you finish with it, you return 184 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: it to them so they will pick up your leftover bottles, 185 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: so it's not like it just gets chucked in your 186 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: recycling bin. It gets given back or you use it 187 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: as a beautiful vase for flowers, which is kind of cool. 188 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: So I think when it comes to Christmas and feeling 189 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: like you're falling off the health wagon, also think about 190 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: making alternatives. Like I said, boss and I made some 191 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: gluten free fruit mincies, don't be afraid of kind of 192 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: like making it healthy. I have put on five paleo 193 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: Christmases for my family on Dad's side of the family now, 194 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: and it's so easy to make it healthy and wholesome 195 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: and delicious and nourishing. You just kind of change a 196 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: lens and you're like, how can I make this delishou 197 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: and nourishing, And people don't even realize it's gluten free, 198 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: Like chema salads and you know it's summertime in Australia, 199 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: bright delicious salads. You know, the hero ingredient and the 200 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: hero main event is usually turkey, Like turkey is very 201 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: healthy from a nutritional perspective. So I think, like enjoy 202 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: finding the healthier alternatives, like they exist, they're delicious. They're 203 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: out there, and just because you want to stick to 204 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: your gluten free or dairy free diet doesn't mean that 205 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: you're going to miss out. There are options out there 206 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:12,239 Speaker 1: and there I'm sure there are great like local companies 207 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: near you that do beautiful, you know, gluten free and 208 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 1: delicious alternatives. I know that I love making it myself. Yeah, 209 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: I would just say enjoy, enjoy making a healthy and 210 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: empower yourself to make healthy choices around Christmas because it 211 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: usually tastes just as good when you make a healthy 212 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: version of course, Like if you enjoyed double duck fat 213 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: cooked potatoes, go for gold. Like, there's nothing wrong with 214 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: enjoying that. Like I said, it's one day in the year. 215 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: The issue is when you let it snowball so that 216 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: all of Decembers are right off. You know, you don't 217 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: want that. You want to be Remember the reason why 218 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: we like being healthy. It's to nourish, it's to feel vital, 219 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: it's to be clear in the mind, it's to be 220 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: connected to our bodies. This is why we do health right. So, like, 221 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: you don't want to jeopardize that, but you want to 222 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: have the ability to share these great experiences like, I'm 223 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: so excited to catch up with my best in and 224 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: have a I was halfway between saying a wine and 225 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: a vena when I said, varn have a wine or 226 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: a vena. I can't wait. I'm so pumped. But I'm 227 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: sure as I'm not going to let that night where 228 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: I go out for a couple of lines affect my 229 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: food choices the days to come. You just enjoy it 230 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: as its own event and then bang you back on 231 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: the next day to just really clean, nourishing food. And 232 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: if you're into movement, move move your body the next day, 233 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: like get get the body. The body likes to move, 234 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: and the body actually responds really well to a mix 235 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: up of the diet. So if you're like, oh, I'm 236 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: a bit worried about this, it's not my usual diet. 237 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: It's the it's the human brain that loves ritual, it's 238 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 1: not the human body. So mixing it up and changing 239 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: it up a little bit around Christmas may not be 240 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: a bad thing. Worried about overindulging or overeating. I would 241 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: always bring it back to mindful eating, So enjoying the moment, 242 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: enjoying the sounds, the people, enjoying the texts, chew the 243 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: food more than you think you should. I know that 244 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: sounds really weird, but we learn at nutrition school you 245 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: should be chewing your food to the point that it 246 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: almost feels like liquid, which is so much. That's like 247 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: fifty chew's. I'm not saying you're writing like, Lola, what 248 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: are you saying. I'm not saying do that, But what 249 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: I am saying is like, the more you chew it, 250 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: the more that it sends signals to your brain of ah, 251 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: I'm satiated, I'm full. So you know, just take your time, 252 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: go slow, go mindful, go presently. Hope that helps. That's 253 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: my little hacks for staying comfortably healthy, but also enjoying 254 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: the moments of all the food stuff that comes with 255 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: the wonderful, wonderful time that Christmas is so close now, 256 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: so excited, the the the trip
