Stop Feeling Guilty About Food

July 3, 2017

Do you feel guilty every time you sit down to a meal? Do you get anxiety about the foods you eat? I’m here to tell you that everything will be OK.

Food is not a negative thing. You need to banish all thought of food being bad. It’s a neutral entity. Just like money. Do I like money? Sure, who doesn’t? But it’s not an inherently good or bad thing. It can be used for either, of course. It’s the same situation with food:  you can use food to nourish your body, hurt your body, fuel your body. I want you to say this out loud:

Yep, right now. Say it to yourself. Out loud.

Our minds are so powerful, what we convince ourselves of will come to pass. True story. When we put whole and nourishing foods into our bodies, they respond differently than when we put processed or high sugar/fat foods in. Isn’t that a fact? So when you’re looking at a menu, a birthday party spread, a family dinner, think of how your body reacts to each food.

Our bodies are incredibly, wonderfully different. Only you know how your body will react. With that knowledge, I want you to turn any negative feelings you have around. “I can’t have that” turns into “I don’t want that.” “I can only have a few bites of dessert” turns into “I only want a few bites.” Am I full now? Will I feel better or worse after another helping? Will I have a better idea of how I feel if I pause 30 minutes (let the current meal settle) and see if I’m still hungry?

Feeling guilty about eating is like feeling guilty about experiencing love. FEELING LOVE IS NATURAL. EATING IS NATURAL. IF YOU DON’T DO EITHER YOU WILL DIE. Get it?

So put it into action: I want you to practice at your next meal. Before you order or scoop yourself a portion, or take a bite, stop, close your eyes for a moment, take a deep breath and as you exhale, release any negative thoughts about what you’re about to put into your body. Do you want to make a different choice? Go for it. Want to stick with what’s on your plate? That’s cool too. Own your decision.

It’s officially my birth week! On the 21st, I’ It’s officially my birth week! On the 21st, I’ll turn one year older, but I’m not counting anymore. I figure I’ll just coast until I start feeling old. 😂 

It’s been one helluva year. I’ve been broken down and raised up and trampled on and stitched back together. If I’ve been quiet in your life, it’s because I’m working on my own. I like where it’s headed, and I hope you do, too. Here’s to the last week of 35. Find your art and dive into it. As for me, sunrise hikes will always be my favorite form of self expression. Happy Friday, friends.

My dog threw up ON me. 🤢 I had a nice post writ My dog threw up ON me. 🤢 I had a nice post written out about marketing. I was lying in my hammock (last slide) this morning, pup in my lap, about to post, and….*HARF* 😖

Sometimes things don’t go like you plan. Adapt and overcome, ya know? Flip to the last slide to see the culprit mere SECONDS before he upset my morning flow.

Hey-o September! #virgoseason♍️ It’s the bes Hey-o September! #virgoseason♍️ It’s the best month of the year, and not only because it’s my birth month. I love September because the hazy summer days start speeding up a bit. It’s obviously still hot as hell here in AZ, but each day that passes bleeds a little more heat from the air. It’s about time to get back outside for regular adventuring.

This month, I’m looking forward to:
• A quick solo trip. Just me, myself and I.
• @ghostfacepony and I stepping into the show ring again!
• My daughter’s first softball game! 🥎
• Birthday shenanigans (stay tuned!)

Shout out to all the other Virgo babies! Who else has a birthday this month??

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ꜱʜᴇ ꜱᴀɪᴅ. I’m still ridi ᴡʜᴀᴛ ꜱʜᴇ ꜱᴀɪᴅ. I’m still riding the high from Thursday’s @themoderndaywife event at @wscottsdale. 🤩 I walked for the most incredible brand @naked.rebellion in the nights fashion show, but it was so much more.

A community of women, coming together in business and the spirit of collaboration…. I’m telling you, it was breathtaking. A HUGE shout out to @meghanfialkoff @meaganelieff for seamlessly creating such beautiful, empowering events all over the continent.

And last but certainly not least, THANK YOU to @smashinglyashley_ & @nichole_eckman for being there with me as my own personal hype girls. It takes an insane amount of courage (& 2 whiskies, neat) to bare the nips in a crowd full of people, much less keep a game face on. I couldn’t have done it without the two of you. ♥️

🚨Last slide: there it is. Classic Jenna. 😜 There’s just no stopping me.

Friday, I’m in love… with this current version Friday, I’m in love… with this current version of myself. It’s been a rough week, but I’m staying positive and looking for things that spark joy in my life.

Life is hard. Work may not always be great, you will lose friends, relationships can be messy, your health could suffer. There’s no shortage of things that can go wrong.

There’s also no shortage of things that could go right. Focus on the good and move forward. It’s Friday, friends. If you’re reading this, I am thankful for you. ♥️

💔Breaks ups are HARD, y’all…and I’m not t 💔Breaks ups are HARD, y’all…and I’m not talking about personal. I had to break up with an advertising partner the other day, here’s how it went:

(Mind you, we’ve been advertising with this particular vendor for several years, but the ROIs were just not there anymore.)

• They’ll usually have some offer to try to make you stay. If it behooves you to stay and try it, go for it! If not, politely decline.

• Remind them that this is solely a business decision. Every step made needs to move the needle for your biz.

• Smile. This isn’t the end of the world for either of you. Personally, y’all can still be friendly (unless, of course, they suck…but still smile).

• Keep it short and sweet. “I realize that you’re super busy and want to make sure I’m not wasting your or my time today. Here’s where my numbers are at…”

• It may seem hard, but you need to make the best decision for your business. Reassure yourself that your business needs to come before any feelings. Feelings don’t pay the bills, friends.

Have you ever had to break up with or fire a client or vendor??

I snagged two pairs of those classic 501 shorts that make everyone’s legs look gooooooood and don’t let that booty hang out. 🤩  y’all, these are my first pairs of 501s and I am embarrassed to admit I’ve waited this long in my life to buy them.
