Quit The Cut - Reasons Why You Shouldn't Diet Right Now
from Livewell with Jacqueline The Podcast · host Jacqueline Bouley Price
This episode is vulnerable AF. I am sharing my personal experience of not only how I quit my calorie deficit aka a cut aka what many call 'a diet' not once but twice in the past 9 months. I haven't shared this publicly until now. Why? Because my inner critic tells me it's humiliating! You announced you were doing one then just faded away? Who can trust you? You know how do to this what is wrong with you? Why aren't you following through? You teach this for a living for crying out loud! Sheesh who would hire a failure like you? The other voices tell me You are human. You are relatable. You had other things that were more important than eating a little less food. You had to heal from surgery. You had to continue to heal your relationship with yourself & hire a therapist. You had to clean up some other life stuff because it was in the way of your focus. You see, it shouldn't be this hard. If you find yourself struggling, going in fits and starts, asking yourself is this really worth it? Is this the right time? Do I need to figure out some other shit before I can address this? Than this episode is for you. Because I am here to tell you: when you do the deeper work, release and let go of what is not serving you it is pretty incredible how much more quickly the weight not only mentally but physically will be shed. BTW this episode has a lot of swears - so earmuffs for the littles!
