I think the one treat challenge will be helpful in continuing to heal my relationship with food. I’m currently tracking and in a deficit and I’ve been amazed that it’s helped me feel less obsessed with food. I’ve spent so many years obsessing over and classifying food as good, bad, healthy, unhealthy, etc. Changing to tracking macros feels more like just gathering information. No moral value attached to each food. Just a certain amount to “spend” everyday. And I just feel better when I spend it wisely. But I have not been keeping any treats in the house because I do still worry I’ll overeat. I’m going to prove to myself with this challenge that I don’t need to fear having treats around. I can stop at one piece and still hit my numbers. Today I shared a carmeled apple with my son, tracked it and it was similar to a fun size candy bar.

I haven’t attempted macros yet. Seems so overwhelming. But I am back to tracking with this challenge so I’m determined to do it until the end of the month at a minimum. I am also finding knowing I’m getting the treat makes me OK with just having this treat.

I took the plunge and invested in the one on one coaching to help me with macros. It’s been so good so far!

Ok, I just watched the video and realized we’re supposed to post more about the experience. It’s been easy so far. Both treats so far were part of experiences with my kids. I was mindful of what I was eating and enjoying the experience and the treat. I love that I’ve been able to learn how to lose weight AND and still live my life. Thanks to coach Derek, he’s the best!
