Lindsay: Welcome to the
Lifting Lindsay podcast.

00:00:08.628 --> 00:00:11.088
I'm really excited to be
here with you guys today.

00:00:11.428 --> 00:00:12.898
This is gonna be a short one.

00:00:12.998 --> 00:00:17.858
There's been a few thoughts that
have kind of been coming to me

00:00:17.858 --> 00:00:23.978
lately as I have found myself,
uh, in social eating situations.

00:00:24.398 --> 00:00:30.233
But also I am putting together videos for

00:00:30.764 --> 00:00:38.934
my Be Strong community about mindful
eating, and how to navigate social

00:00:38.934 --> 00:00:44.364
situations where you really can't
control the foods that are presented

00:00:44.364 --> 00:00:48.744
and, and how to healthily mind and
body navigate those kind of situations.

00:00:48.744 --> 00:00:55.244
And so I actually talked about this in
my last video that I recorded for them.

00:00:55.416 --> 00:01:00.936
I thought I would just kind of open the
discussion up in my, in this podcast too.

00:01:02.086 --> 00:01:03.766
Tell me if this sounds familiar.

00:01:04.226 --> 00:01:10.406
People may see that you're on a health
and fitness journey, and at social,

00:01:10.796 --> 00:01:15.326
uh, situations where there's food, they
kind of pay attention to what you're

00:01:15.326 --> 00:01:18.601
eating, or maybe they watch closely

00:01:19.616 --> 00:01:24.956
what you're putting on your plate
and how much of it you're eating and

00:01:24.956 --> 00:01:30.206
they're just keeping this eye on you
kind of thing or so it appears, right?

00:01:30.966 --> 00:01:37.146
When I did one-on-one coaching,
this was probably one of my top

00:01:37.446 --> 00:01:40.686
10 questions that I got the most.

00:01:41.376 --> 00:01:42.756
And it was from women

00:01:43.416 --> 00:01:50.526
who either every other week
or weekly had a family dinner.

00:01:51.276 --> 00:01:55.446
Let's say it was the Sunday, it seemed
to always be like a Sunday type of

00:01:55.446 --> 00:02:00.006
family dinner, and there was always
somebody in the family that made

00:02:00.011 --> 00:02:05.711
them feel uncomfortable about food
choices for one reason or another.

00:02:05.971 --> 00:02:09.981
I'm sure as I'm talking, some of you
are nodding your head like, yeah,

00:02:09.981 --> 00:02:11.541
I've been in that situation before.

00:02:11.541 --> 00:02:15.531
Or, yeah, there's that one person
in my life who always has to

00:02:15.531 --> 00:02:17.031
make a comment about my food.

00:02:17.792 --> 00:02:21.647
Sometimes when people bring
up questions about our food,

00:02:22.847 --> 00:02:24.917
they're actually not judging us.

00:02:25.607 --> 00:02:27.557
And sometimes they are judging us.

00:02:27.934 --> 00:02:33.514
But I'm gonna challenge you on this one,
and I'm going to say it doesn't matter.

00:02:35.224 --> 00:02:40.474
It doesn't whether they're judging
you, or whether they're just curious.

00:02:41.194 --> 00:02:42.814
Either way, it doesn't matter.

00:02:43.305 --> 00:02:48.975
It shouldn't take more brain space
and brain power than it is from you.

00:02:49.174 --> 00:02:53.679
I'm a health and fitness
coach, nutritionalist.

00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:58.719
I go to a party, like a, a church
party or a neighborhood party or a

00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:03.849
family party, and you better believe
people are looking at my plate.

00:03:05.589 --> 00:03:08.559
And you better believe I get
comments and I get questions.

00:03:09.549 --> 00:03:16.209
One of the comments that I have
gotten a few times are, keep

00:03:16.209 --> 00:03:20.409
in mind, these people are just
seeing what I'm eating at a party.

00:03:21.279 --> 00:03:26.499
What I eat at a party is not
a good representation of what

00:03:26.499 --> 00:03:30.372
I eat consistently day to day.

00:03:30.822 --> 00:03:31.542
It is not.

00:03:32.382 --> 00:03:37.482
Because when I go to a party, I can't
control the options that are given me.

00:03:37.707 --> 00:03:40.287
I fall back on my system
of mindful eating.

00:03:41.727 --> 00:03:44.487
I gauge my hunger.

00:03:44.487 --> 00:03:45.537
I eat slowly.

00:03:45.537 --> 00:03:52.047
I drink a lot of water, and I
eat until full and satisfied.

00:03:52.197 --> 00:03:57.807
About a seven on the
hunger, fullness scale.

00:03:58.557 --> 00:03:59.847
I eat till about a seven.

00:03:59.907 --> 00:04:00.837
I'm satisfied.

00:04:01.797 --> 00:04:05.337
And then I stop, and I don't
always finish what's on my plate.

00:04:06.207 --> 00:04:07.917
So I get two comments.

00:04:07.917 --> 00:04:14.367
I get one of people seeing what I
put on my plate and then make the

00:04:14.367 --> 00:04:19.377
assumption or comment, oh, see, you can
just eat whatever and look like that.

00:04:20.997 --> 00:04:21.447
Okay?

00:04:21.477 --> 00:04:26.337
That's like watching somebody buy
a boat and say, see, they just

00:04:26.337 --> 00:04:27.837
spend their money on everything.

00:04:27.837 --> 00:04:32.337
You actually have no clue
how they spend their money.

00:04:33.207 --> 00:04:37.977
You have no clue about what's
coming in, how they're managing it.

00:04:38.217 --> 00:04:42.867
All you're doing is seeing one purchase
and you're jumping to some wild

00:04:43.137 --> 00:04:48.747
conclusion that you know all of these
things that you actually don't know.

00:04:50.067 --> 00:04:52.467
So I, I get those comments.

00:04:52.846 --> 00:04:59.176
I think, I think earlier on a few years
ago, that would've brought out the sassy

00:04:59.176 --> 00:05:04.156
Lindsay and I would've been like, well,
let me just actually explain to you, no.

00:05:04.161 --> 00:05:09.106
What you're seeing is, and I
would probably waste my time

00:05:09.106 --> 00:05:12.226
and breath needing to explain.

00:05:13.201 --> 00:05:14.491
I've moved past it.

00:05:14.971 --> 00:05:18.961
I'm like, you know, I'm a mom of three.

00:05:19.261 --> 00:05:20.641
I'm a business owner.

00:05:20.911 --> 00:05:22.051
I'm tired.

00:05:24.296 --> 00:05:30.361
I, I only have so much mental
bandwidth here and I'm not gonna

00:05:30.361 --> 00:05:32.191
waste it on this conversation.

00:05:33.451 --> 00:05:33.811
Now.

00:05:34.141 --> 00:05:38.071
Now if I feel, if I get the feeling
that it's genuine and that they're like.

00:05:39.236 --> 00:05:42.691
it just kinda seems like you eat whatever,
because I've gotten a lot of different

00:05:42.691 --> 00:05:49.435
types of comments and sometimes if I
feel a little bit more energy towards the

00:05:49.435 --> 00:05:52.435
conversation, I may say, do you know what?

00:05:53.005 --> 00:05:58.735
This actually isn't how I eat all
the time, but these are the options.

00:05:59.110 --> 00:06:01.780
People have brought food, they've served.

00:06:01.780 --> 00:06:04.570
I'm gonna be a gracious receiver.

00:06:05.350 --> 00:06:10.900
I'm gonna take part and, um,
I'll eat until satisfied and

00:06:10.900 --> 00:06:12.220
then I kind of stop from there.

00:06:12.955 --> 00:06:17.995
Or I have some people who watch what,
you know, I leave on my plate and

00:06:17.995 --> 00:06:19.915
that's what they decide to focus on.

00:06:20.455 --> 00:06:23.455
They're like, oh, see, you
barely touched your plate.

00:06:23.460 --> 00:06:24.865
You just peck like a bird.

00:06:24.865 --> 00:06:26.965
Well, no wonder you're so skinny, right?

00:06:27.535 --> 00:06:30.925
So I get all sorts of comments.

00:06:31.405 --> 00:06:38.685
I could spend a lot of energy trying to
decipher who's judging me, who's not.

00:06:39.765 --> 00:06:41.445
The truth is, I don't really care.

00:06:42.315 --> 00:06:43.665
I don't really care.

00:06:44.760 --> 00:06:53.835
I can't waste my time and mental
energy trying to justify my life.

00:06:53.935 --> 00:06:56.010
I don't feel any need to either.

00:06:56.775 --> 00:06:58.185
I love my life.

00:06:58.185 --> 00:06:59.535
I have a healthy life.

00:06:59.535 --> 00:07:01.935
I have a healthy mindset around food.

00:07:01.935 --> 00:07:04.695
I think anybody who's listened
to me for a while knows that.

00:07:05.085 --> 00:07:06.225
They get that feeling.

00:07:06.945 --> 00:07:09.465
I Try to help other people establish that.

00:07:09.881 --> 00:07:13.631
I don't need to sit here and
justify what's on my plate

00:07:13.631 --> 00:07:15.131
or what's left on my plate.

00:07:15.881 --> 00:07:17.081
It is what it is.

00:07:17.861 --> 00:07:19.271
I'm not overly eating.

00:07:19.271 --> 00:07:20.621
I'm respecting my body.

00:07:20.621 --> 00:07:23.021
I'm eating plenty.

00:07:23.941 --> 00:07:26.791
I choose not to take part.

00:07:27.371 --> 00:07:31.691
But I also choose to kind of
look at people with grace.

00:07:32.681 --> 00:07:35.171
Much how I would want them to look at me.

00:07:35.171 --> 00:07:38.561
I can't control how they look at me,
but I can control how I view them.

00:07:39.626 --> 00:07:45.776
And in so doing, I can actually bring
a peaceful spirit to the environment

00:07:45.776 --> 00:07:52.916
and conversation, but beyond whatever
I may do for them, I bring peace to

00:07:52.916 --> 00:07:59.841
myself by choosing not to get too
hung up on people judging me, people

00:07:59.841 --> 00:08:02.103
thinking, I can just eat whatever.

00:08:02.103 --> 00:08:04.443
Or people thinking, oh,
see, she doesn't eat.

00:08:04.983 --> 00:08:06.423
I don't, I don't have time.

00:08:07.458 --> 00:08:11.298
I'm just gonna share something that
happened the other day on, on Instagram.

00:08:11.358 --> 00:08:15.978
I usually don't make comments
when somebody says something

00:08:15.978 --> 00:08:16.938
that I disagree with.

00:08:16.968 --> 00:08:17.868
I just move on.

00:08:18.348 --> 00:08:19.038
I really do.

00:08:19.038 --> 00:08:25.098
But there was this comment that
was very, it was, uh, racist.

00:08:25.098 --> 00:08:31.248
It was, uh, just weird and uncalled
for, and, and I, I should have moved on.

00:08:31.338 --> 00:08:38.658
And I didn't, Lindsay was not her
best self that day, and I wrote

00:08:39.198 --> 00:08:46.308
what I actually thought was like
a really well thought out, kind,

00:08:47.658 --> 00:08:48.648
response.

00:08:49.488 --> 00:08:54.168
And the woman wrote me back and, and
she was like, well, what a waste of

00:08:54.173 --> 00:08:59.898
your time and energy writing that to
me and Vada and how stupid is this?

00:08:59.898 --> 00:09:05.508
And, and I thought to
myself, she's so right.

00:09:06.468 --> 00:09:08.868
I wasted all of my time.

00:09:10.398 --> 00:09:14.313
Clearly we are not each other's people.

00:09:15.183 --> 00:09:17.913
Clearly there was not
going to be understanding.

00:09:17.913 --> 00:09:21.933
I do, you know what, and I wanted to write
back, but I didn't want to offend her.

00:09:22.088 --> 00:09:23.768
But I wanted, I did.

00:09:23.888 --> 00:09:26.043
I wanted to be like, thank you.

00:09:26.613 --> 00:09:27.603
Oh my goodness.

00:09:27.603 --> 00:09:28.623
Thank you so much.

00:09:28.870 --> 00:09:29.920
You are right.

00:09:31.150 --> 00:09:32.740
I did waste my time.

00:09:33.100 --> 00:09:35.170
I should have moved on.

00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.125
I should have been better.

00:09:38.125 --> 00:09:40.460
I told my husband that story
and we both just laughed.

00:09:40.460 --> 00:09:45.560
He's like, because I'm like, yeah,
yeah, you were, you're right.

00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:49.340
I'm not gonna get through to you.

00:09:49.820 --> 00:09:50.675
And that's okay.

00:09:51.590 --> 00:09:52.070
That's okay.

00:09:53.570 --> 00:09:54.140
I'm going.

00:09:54.410 --> 00:09:56.810
I, I learned my lesson again.

00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.990
I feel like I'm one of those who
my lessons are always on repeat.

00:10:01.265 --> 00:10:02.405
I learned my lesson.

00:10:02.495 --> 00:10:06.095
I'm gonna take all that mental energy
that I put towards that, and I'm gonna

00:10:06.095 --> 00:10:07.445
put it towards things that are better.

00:10:08.585 --> 00:10:10.805
And I'm gonna encourage
you to do that too.

00:10:11.105 --> 00:10:15.875
In social settings when people make
comments about what's on your plate,

00:10:15.875 --> 00:10:17.795
what's not on your plate, whatever.

00:10:18.145 --> 00:10:22.075
To choose not to take part,
choose not to take part.

00:10:23.590 --> 00:10:27.700
It can be really hard when you
know you're going to somebody's

00:10:27.700 --> 00:10:31.873
house every single week and it's
like a touch and go relationship.

00:10:31.873 --> 00:10:38.503
It's kind of like a, a hard relationship
where maybe there's not safety

00:10:38.503 --> 00:10:40.063
and security in that relationship.

00:10:40.063 --> 00:10:43.603
Maybe it's a family member, your
Mother-in-Law or whatever, and

00:10:43.603 --> 00:10:44.923
you're already kind of on edge.

00:10:44.923 --> 00:10:50.023
So honestly, anything that that
person says in your mind is just gonna

00:10:50.023 --> 00:10:54.883
kind of be taken and be confirmation
that, see, they're judging me, right?

00:10:55.573 --> 00:10:58.723
Because that's kind of the
relationship, let's be honest.

00:10:59.323 --> 00:11:02.983
So I'm gonna challenge
you on that one too.

00:11:03.753 --> 00:11:07.773
If you have somebody, and I'm just poor
Mother-in-laws, I'm just using them as an

00:11:07.773 --> 00:11:12.093
example because sadly it was usually the
mom or the mother-in-Law that was looking

00:11:12.093 --> 00:11:14.463
at the food and making a lot of comments

00:11:14.813 --> 00:11:17.303
to my clients and they're
like, how do I handle this?

00:11:18.023 --> 00:11:24.216
Like, look it's not about you
actually, it's about them.

00:11:24.762 --> 00:11:32.832
They are probably having a hard time with
maybe accepting and loving their body,

00:11:34.242 --> 00:11:40.932
and maybe they kind of know that they're
not treating themselves in a healthy way.

00:11:40.932 --> 00:11:49.062
Maybe they're not taking time to move
and eat more nutrient dense foods

00:11:49.067 --> 00:11:51.192
than they are, and they know this.

00:11:51.702 --> 00:11:52.632
They know this.

00:11:53.952 --> 00:12:00.252
Then they see somebody else who comes in
and is trying to make an effort, and it's

00:12:00.252 --> 00:12:03.102
almost like they feel threatened by it.

00:12:04.812 --> 00:12:06.342
So it's not about you.

00:12:07.212 --> 00:12:08.922
You don't have to change.

00:12:09.312 --> 00:12:14.142
And you also don't have to change them,
and you also don't have to judge them.

00:12:14.472 --> 00:12:18.342
You can actually allow them
to sit in their discomfort.

00:12:18.717 --> 00:12:22.977
And choose not to get in it with them.

00:12:23.531 --> 00:12:27.731
Because at the end of the day, you're
gonna disappoint somebody, right?

00:12:28.211 --> 00:12:33.950
You either disappoint yourself because you
watch them or you hear their words, and

00:12:34.579 --> 00:12:39.902
so you change what you are going to eat
or not eat because of what they've said,

00:12:41.222 --> 00:12:43.472
so then you're not living with integrity

00:12:43.997 --> 00:12:46.967
to yourself, so therefore
you disappoint yourself.

00:12:47.147 --> 00:12:55.007
Or maybe you decide to take part in
kind of this toxic relationship, and

00:12:55.007 --> 00:12:59.627
then you're disappointed with yourself
because you know you should not take

00:12:59.632 --> 00:13:06.562
part and you can respect them and love
them, and allow them to feel whatever

00:13:06.562 --> 00:13:08.992
it is that they wanna feel without you

00:13:09.982 --> 00:13:10.672
taking part.

00:13:10.762 --> 00:13:13.522
Without your peace being disrupted.

00:13:15.292 --> 00:13:22.312
That's hard to get to, but it is
powerful when you're there and

00:13:22.312 --> 00:13:27.532
when you're there, you invite other
people to kind of rise up with you.

00:13:28.102 --> 00:13:28.912
You really do.

00:13:30.172 --> 00:13:33.922
But if, if they say something that
threatens you, so you jump in and

00:13:34.072 --> 00:13:38.632
feel the need to defend and you
don't actually need to take part.

00:13:40.462 --> 00:13:41.272
You don't need to.

00:13:41.729 --> 00:13:48.569
Because you're not going to kind of
join them or change your feelings,

00:13:48.989 --> 00:13:51.809
or your nutrition because of them.

00:13:52.829 --> 00:13:53.459
And guess what?

00:13:53.459 --> 00:13:54.089
That's okay.

00:13:54.914 --> 00:13:56.654
That is 100% okay.

00:13:57.044 --> 00:14:05.814
Sometimes in order for us to choose our
future self, we have to disappoint a lot

00:14:05.819 --> 00:14:09.384
of people and we're disappointing them

00:14:09.384 --> 00:14:13.524
not because we're being rude, not
because and we're meaning to, it's

00:14:13.524 --> 00:14:23.126
just they may feel discomfort when they
see us stepping into a powerful self.

00:14:24.056 --> 00:14:30.133
Making choices, making commitments,
keeping them, getting healthier,

00:14:30.133 --> 00:14:34.944
getting stronger, really feeling
a lot of confidence because we

00:14:34.944 --> 00:14:37.734
are making and keeping commitments
and promises to ourselves.

00:14:38.544 --> 00:14:44.764
And that's gonna disrupt some people and
their emotions and that's gonna be okay.

00:14:46.414 --> 00:14:47.344
That's okay.

00:14:48.579 --> 00:14:50.044
We don't need to change them.

00:14:50.044 --> 00:14:53.284
We don't need to waste any
time thinking about that.

00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:59.809
We just need to choose our future self.

00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.389
So I've explained this before, that we
have our past self, we have our present

00:15:05.389 --> 00:15:06.769
self, and we have our future self.

00:15:07.669 --> 00:15:09.469
We have these three different
versions of ourselves.

00:15:09.469 --> 00:15:12.619
Now, the past self, the only thing that
we can really do is learn from them.

00:15:13.819 --> 00:15:17.959
The future self is who do
we really want to become?

00:15:18.749 --> 00:15:20.369
What do we want to have?

00:15:21.179 --> 00:15:22.679
Who do we want to be?

00:15:24.239 --> 00:15:28.409
And the problem is when we disconnect
our present self with our future

00:15:28.409 --> 00:15:34.169
self, we, we disconnect by making
choices today that doesn't set

00:15:34.169 --> 00:15:35.879
our future self up for success.

00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.329
That's what that disconnecting
ourselves, our present from

00:15:39.329 --> 00:15:40.469
our future self looks like.

00:15:41.699 --> 00:15:48.839
So either you disappoint yourself and
your future self, or you disappoint

00:15:48.839 --> 00:15:54.329
this random person or family member
who's not so random at a social event.

00:15:55.769 --> 00:15:59.229
You know, at the end of the
day, I don't wanna disappoint

00:15:59.229 --> 00:16:01.174
myself at the end of the day.

00:16:02.889 --> 00:16:05.709
I'm the last person whose voice I hear.

00:16:06.204 --> 00:16:11.259
At the end of the day, I'm the person
who I, who I actually have to live with.

00:16:11.499 --> 00:16:12.249
It's me.

00:16:13.089 --> 00:16:15.279
I'm the last person I wanna disappoint.

00:16:15.994 --> 00:16:21.345
So next time you're in a social
situation, and somebody decides to

00:16:21.350 --> 00:16:22.935
look at your food and make a comment.

00:16:23.145 --> 00:16:26.175
One, don't jump to the conclusion
that they're judging you.

00:16:26.595 --> 00:16:28.365
Maybe they're genuinely curious.

00:16:28.425 --> 00:16:32.385
Even if they are judging you, who
cares, that story doesn't serve

00:16:32.390 --> 00:16:35.475
you, it doesn't serve them, it
doesn't serve the relationship.

00:16:36.555 --> 00:16:38.860
A better story that's gonna
serve you is they're curious.

00:16:39.560 --> 00:16:41.270
So you can answer their question.

00:16:41.540 --> 00:16:45.080
Just say, I'm focusing on my health
and fitness, and I love fueling my

00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.210
workouts, and so this is how I eat.

00:16:47.510 --> 00:16:49.400
And it doesn't have to
be any further than that.

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:55.070
You don't have to convince them
that your goals are worthy.

00:16:55.732 --> 00:17:02.052
If you feel like you have to convince
other people,   you're probably

00:17:02.052 --> 00:17:04.962
not bought into your own goals.

00:17:05.292 --> 00:17:07.542
You're probably still
trying to convince yourself.

00:17:07.572 --> 00:17:13.422
'cause when you really are secure in
your goals and in your choices, it

00:17:13.422 --> 00:17:15.042
doesn't matter what anybody else thinks.

00:17:15.162 --> 00:17:18.282
You don't have to convince anybody.

00:17:18.552 --> 00:17:20.922
You can explain, oh,
this is why I'm doing it.

00:17:20.922 --> 00:17:22.062
I'm really excited about it.

00:17:22.475 --> 00:17:24.485
They don't need to be excited for you.

00:17:25.175 --> 00:17:29.225
It kind, it's nice when they
are, but not everybody's going

00:17:29.230 --> 00:17:32.735
to be, and that's actually okay.

00:17:34.865 --> 00:17:42.785
You don't need them validating
your choices when intrinsically

00:17:43.292 --> 00:17:46.082
you are validating yourself.

00:17:47.132 --> 00:17:47.612
Right?

00:17:48.332 --> 00:17:50.222
The validation comes from within.

00:17:50.222 --> 00:17:53.262
You don't need it to come extrinsically.

00:17:53.658 --> 00:17:56.118
That is really powerful.

00:17:57.738 --> 00:18:00.768
So don't look at them
like they're judging you.

00:18:01.368 --> 00:18:04.248
Choose to look at them as they're curious.

00:18:05.328 --> 00:18:13.938
Don't feel the need to have to get them
on board with your goals, 'cause whether

00:18:13.938 --> 00:18:15.408
they are or not, it doesn't matter.

00:18:16.128 --> 00:18:16.578
It doesn't.

00:18:17.328 --> 00:18:18.618
You need to be on board.

00:18:18.948 --> 00:18:19.698
That's it.

00:18:20.748 --> 00:18:23.448
You need to be on board
with your future self.

00:18:25.218 --> 00:18:29.328
And then when it's somebody like
a Mother-in-Law or whatever, don't

00:18:29.328 --> 00:18:33.258
get pulled into the emotions that
actually may not even be there.

00:18:33.858 --> 00:18:38.148
Your mother-in-law too may just
be curious or like I said, she.

00:18:39.153 --> 00:18:44.853
It may bring out some
of her own insecurities.

00:18:45.123 --> 00:18:49.053
It's probably, no, it
is about her, not you.

00:18:49.593 --> 00:18:54.153
It is, or him or whomever
it is in your family.

00:18:54.663 --> 00:18:55.653
My mother-in-law is great.

00:18:55.833 --> 00:18:56.313
Actually.

00:18:56.318 --> 00:18:58.143
I don't have this, this issue.

00:18:58.923 --> 00:19:04.983
We have a great relationship, but
I do have that with issues with

00:19:04.983 --> 00:19:07.563
other family members doing that.

00:19:07.563 --> 00:19:07.983
So.

00:19:08.943 --> 00:19:11.073
Don't get pulled into the toxic cycle.

00:19:11.073 --> 00:19:17.583
Don't get, um, don't waste your
mental energy and bandwidth.

00:19:17.883 --> 00:19:22.893
Don't feel the need that they
need, uh, to understand your goals.

00:19:22.893 --> 00:19:23.403
They don't.

00:19:23.930 --> 00:19:25.160
It's totally okay.

00:19:25.910 --> 00:19:30.350
They can be worthy and wonderful goals
without anybody understanding them.

00:19:31.130 --> 00:19:34.610
As long as you're bought in,
that is the most important thing.

00:19:34.910 --> 00:19:39.830
So this holiday season, as you find
yourself eating with other people a lot,

00:19:40.700 --> 00:19:44.690
and your food choices may look similar
or may look a little bit different.

00:19:44.900 --> 00:19:45.980
It doesn't matter guys.

00:19:46.220 --> 00:19:47.060
It doesn't matter.

00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:47.570
Okay?

00:19:47.810 --> 00:19:48.860
This is about you.

00:19:49.460 --> 00:19:55.700
This is about you and your health, and
stepping in to your power and setting

00:19:55.700 --> 00:19:59.300
your your future self up for success.

00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.210
