We’ve had many clients come to us frustrated because they have a health/fitness/wellness goal but then there’s a candy bowl at work or they’re on the go and feel forced to just grab something that is comforting and quick but it’s not supporting their goals.

 

Have you faced this challenge yourself? Do you ever find that you want to grab junk, chocolate, or something that is readily available? How do you eat when you’re stressed out? Does that support your overall health, fitness, and wellness goals?

 

I like to explore and ask the question of WHY – why is it that in that moment you decided to eat the candy or grab the food that is not ultimately supporting your goals? (Not judgmental, but inquisitive) – Was it for comfort? Was it to battle stress?
