The process of change is rocky at best. We set a goal and can't wait to get started ! The excitement is high and motivation is firing on all cylinders. We set a plan and launch on the journey forward!

Suddenly, you have an event to attend or vacation planned. You're feeling overwhelmed and tired at the thought of trying to stick to your goals and stay on track. You instantly think "You know, I think I'm going to have to back burner this goal for another time. I'm just too busy right now and it's just not the right time. This goal setting is just too uncomfortable and you know what, I'm fine the way I am." Isn't that how it goes for most of us?

But what if you knew that was all normal and part of the deal? What if you knew that when that comes up you are doing it perfectly? Your brain produces thoughts to make you stop. Your job is to know that, of course, these thoughts are coming up! Your brain thinks you are in danger when you try new things. It will produce thoughts to keep you safe. Staying the same is safety for your brain.

You're used to thinking " There is something wrong! I'm on the wrong path and I need a new diet or something because this feels terrible!". 

Now, I don't know about you but I'm not into feeling terrible. I only want to feel lovely and pet fuzzy bunnies! That is how to get yourself into the pickle. When it gets difficult, do not bolt! Do not turn to the nearest antidepressants, cupcake, or numbing device. This is the place to understand and learn the skill of processing and allowing emotion. 

The path of dealing with change or difficulties isn't fun. Remember,  neither is suffering from obesity or food sensitivities!

When you are in a difficult moment you will feel like you have only two options. One option is to overeat and stop feeling the emotion, this is your current misery! The other option is to feel all your emotions when you stop eating the food.

Here is the secret. When you learn that feeling all emotions is not a big deal, the higher quality of life just happens. The process of change soon becomes second nature, and then the creation of what you want is just the icing on the cake!
