FAQ on Cheat Days part I
We are back on FAQs
I often get asked about Cheat Days, and I have to admit, they make me cringe. I am going to need a few days to explain my reasons for being opposed.
Cheat Days reinforce the old diet mentality of being on or off. I have a way of eating, a way of life and it doesn’t change if the calendar does. I have accepted Sugar and I can not peacefully coexist, so why would I invite it back into my life in on my Birthday?
I don’t because once I decided I was done, I couldn’t look back. I had to find a new way to celebrate without foods I know are problematic.
Much like breaking up with a bad boyfriend, I had to wrap my brain around the concept of never returning to the source of so much chaos.

As a Holistic Health Coach, it is Erin’s big hairy audacious goal is to change the dialogue around how we look at weight loss. It is not a matter of being it Ketosis or Food Swaps but the feelings we have that we are avoiding by overeating. Why are so many of us not tackling the real issues we have? It is easier and safer to obsess over the latest diet fad. Whether it be with our job, or our Mom, boyfriend, politics… until we address how we manage our feelings in the world, we are not going to.
