Get it done: Reach 74kg weight

I am starting to take action on my weight as I want to explore the emotions and thought errors it brings up.

Goal is to reach 74kg. Rocks are to do daily evaluations, to eat an apple first whenevr I crave something, and to bring thought errors to AAC.

Today I did well in lots of the actions in my intentional model (choosing filter over latte, buying healthy food, prepping lots of healthy snacks, etc) but craved cake in the evening.

Instead of exploring what was coming up around my craving (emotionally), I had the cake, but negotiated with myself and had half a slice. This felt like a “dirty” win.

I’d love to ask for coaching on the thought errors:
1. It doesn’t matter if I slip up today, I can always try again tomorrow
2. There’s no point denying myself as I’ll just feel rubbish anyway

I feel like I can always find a way to negotiate with myself.

Thanks!

 

Answer:

 

YESSSSSS for coming to AAC with this self-awareness! Let’s look at the model where you negotiated with yourself…particularly the thought, “There’s no point in denying myself as I’ll just feel rubbish anyway.”

C: 74kg Goal, Craving Cake
T: There’s no point in denying myself as I’ll just feel rubbish anyway
F: How did/do you feel when you thought/think this?
S: Where does this show up in your body?
A: Negotiating with self, eat cake…what else do and don’t you do when you feel this way and think this thought?
R: Consider it a dirty win and feel rubbish, and deny myself what I want more than cake (just guessing – how does it land?)

Notice what comes up for you when you see this model – what thoughts and feelings emerge.

What I’m most curious about is what you think about your cravings. What do you think they mean for or about you when they come up? How do you feel when you notice them? If it wasn’t a problem at all that you had a craving, what else might it mean?
