The 12-Day Weight Loss Doesn’t Have to Suck Challenge!
Joyful Eating HELPS You Lose Weight
What does eating joyfully mean to me?
What does a beautiful mix of foods that make my body feel good and foods that make me happy look like today?
How does full permission to enjoy ALL foods make it easier to follow my body's hunger/satisfaction cues? How might practicing this positively impact my long-term success?
Journal Prompts/Questions to Ponder:
I never have to diet again.
I have permission to relax about food, because there is absolutely no food that will get in the way of my weight loss.
In fact, when I embrace joyful eating, it's EASIER to listen to my body.
Day 2 Power Statement:
Listening to Your Body for Weight Loss
Your body is telling you it's truly hungry when:
Your stomach feels physically empty
You notice gentle growling or gurgling
You're getting distracted from what you're doing
The hunger sensation isn't going away
A simple meal (like a sandwich) sounds good
You’re probably not actually hungry if:
You'd eat chips but would turn down vegetables
You're just worried about getting hungry later
You're "wondering" if you're hungry
You're craving one specific food
No physical hunger signals - just want to eat
You're at that perfect "satisfied" spot when:
Your mind starts wandering from your food
You could comfortably go for a walk
Your stomach feels content but not stretched
You're questioning if you need more
You'll probably be good for 3-4 hours
Quick tips for success:
Take a 5-minute pause halfway through your meal
Put your fork down between bites
Remember: There's always more food coming when you're truly hungry again!
It's okay if you overeat sometimes - just notice and adjust next time
Be kind to yourself as you practice this new skill
