Hard Truths Why You Struggle With Food & Fitness

hard truths why you struggle with food & fitness

Let’s start at the beginning.
Because we know the statistics.

We know that obesity has quadrupled since the 1950s.

We know that diabetes has increased from around 1.5 million people in the 1950s to over 34 million today, 90% or more of whom have type 2 diabetes, which is preventable.

We know that roughly 50% of American adults have cardiovascular disease and 70% of American adults are on some kind of prescription medication.

We know that we get 1.5 to 2 hours less sleep per night than a hundred years ago.

We know all of this stuff, because we are constantly bombarded with these statistics, hammered over the head with them until they lose their meaning.

But what we don’t talk much about (& we should), is the inner root cause of WHY these statistics exist.

“Losing weight” or “getting in shape” repeatedly score the top ten of people’s New Year’s resolutions. If you, too, have declared that you “finally want to get fit in 2023,” then it’s time to look at where you’re at.

Have you changed? Or have you given up on your fitness goals again — like so many years before?

If you have been trying to become a fitter, healthier version of yourself & repeatedly failed, you might need to come to grips with a few uncomfortable fitness truths.

If you take them to heart & act accordingly, you are well on your way to becoming the fittest & healthiest you can be. Let’s dive in!

Sorta Sweet, Sorta Beth Dutton

In case you needed the reminder, it’s OK to be sorta sweet, sorta Beth Dutton. 🤚🥃 

Yellowstone. 

I have not been so obsessed with a show since Grey’s Anatomy, One Tree Hill, & Sex and the City. 

Who else?

I wanna hear what shows you love in comments!!!!👇🏻

Soooo I’m not naturally “feminine” per se. 

4 words: Bull in China Shop. 🐮 

3 words: Indiana. Corn. Fed. 🌽 😂 

I guess I never noticed how rough around the edges I was until a boyfriend criticized me for always throwin sh*t around & slammin cabinet doors.

Drove him nuts. 

I said we’ll maybe you’re just fragile🤷‍♀️😆

It made me wanna change myself, however. I thought, well dang, there’s something wrong with me.

I changed for him — & felt a pit of shame.

Ridiculed as my shyer, younger self, I felt less than. I didn’t fit the mold of the “pretty” girls at school.

So I spent the majority of my life tryna change & shrink myself.

I always find myself playing in the “boys club” — the guys girl. I have a very small intimate group of women I surround myself, but I find naturally I’m drawn to being friends with men. 

I’m the oldest of 3, I have 2 younger brothers.

Played baseball until I was told I couldn’t play anymore because I was a girl. I still can’t throw underhand worth a sh*t.

I’m good at throwin a football but was told I’m a girl so I couldn’t play football. I have 1 helluva an arm. 💪🏼 My grandfather was the football coach.

I was raised on a farm in a small town in Indiana, treated no differently than my brothers.

We’re raised to be productive, strong, tough — rub some dirt in it you’ll be fine.

I excelled as a student, in the top part of my class, president of my 4-H & FFA clubs, had scholarships to Purdue & graduated magma cum laude. #boilerup

I’m grateful for every single piece of 50 shades of fxcked up that makes me — ME.

I’d tell my younger self 1 thing — you weren’t made to fit in, you were made to move mountains.🏔 

Now, remember to be yourself. 

Oh, & go light some shxt on🔥✨

A 4 step easy guide to pave your path to success

My success codes: 4, 3, 2, 1 

Short and sweet today, y’all, yet impactful and something you can create for yourself!

4 things I do everyday. 

3 things I do before anything else.

2 quotes I remind myself. 

1 thing I don’t do anymore. 

4 things I do everyday:

  • Write. I connect with myself & others. (Post. Blog. Email.) ✍🏼 
  • Get rid of at least 1 thing. 🗑 
  • Learn something new. 🧠 
  • Do something kind. ❤️

3 things I do before anything else:

  • Gratitude. 🙏
  • Feed Pete. 🐈‍⬛ 
  • Workout. 🏋🏼‍♀️

2 quotes I remind myself everyday:

  • Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach. – Tony Robbins
  • The biggest risk someone can take is to do nothing.  – Robert Kiyosaki

1 thing I don’t do anymore, the hardest lesson and the most important:

  • Don’t lie. ❌ To yourself & others.

It’s easy to not want to hurt others but it’s a whole lot easier to be honest, protect your integrity, and not have to remember what you said. 

That last one — ALL of us have done to some degree. Learn. We’re human. 

Triggered much?

Good. 

Do better.

How to Nurture the Power of Decision

Don’t bullshxt me Darlin’

Decisions still give me anxiety. 

They just rile me up. It means I have to choose something & release something else.

I realize now it gives me anxiety because I fear making the wrong choice & somehow that makes me a bad person. A failure. An imposter. Which are 2 of my worst fears.

How about guys? You feel this way too?

I feel if I make a ‘bad’ decision, I’m not achieving, I’m not people pleasing, & that makes me less worthy somehow.

I realized it was paralyzing me & there are no wrong decisions — only an experience.

That doesn’t make me a bad person that makes me human. I focused too much on the end product & not on the love of the journey & process. 

This was applicable to my love life, my relationship with food & body image, career goals — you name it.

Also, let me remind you, nothing is irreversible. Picture the worst case outcome. Trust me, you’ll be fine.

Dr. Joe Dispenza preaches the POWER is in the present, becoming unattached to outcomes.

We can’t worry about the past, it doesn’t need us anymore. Learn the lessons.

⁣Now, 2nd guessing.

This shows up in the smallest ways. 

✅Ex: I choose the hamburger but 2nd guess myself when your wings come out. 

✅Ex: I choose to go to CrossFit but Karen down the road went for a 5 mile run. Maybe I should’ve done that.

✅Ex: I chose Partner A because he feels comfortable & safe but I truly want Partner B but somehow don’t feel good enough for partner B.

✅Ex: I chose job 1 bc it gives me freedom. But I really need job 2 bc it’s stable yet I’m afraid of commitment.

Am I the biggest fxck up in the world because I did so? No.

So here’s what I want to reiterate, decisions are crossroads. You’re not less worthy because you make a decision that didn’t turn out.

You’re not indecisive or savage or weak or broken or stupid or whatever you tell yourself. 

It’s simply your baggage being pulled out of your bag. 

So sit yo 🍑on the floor & unpack your baggage — it’s not gonna unpack itself.

And I’ll be sittn on the floor, with a cocktail or coffee, unpacking my shxt with you. ❤️🥃☕️
