I can virtually predict the stories I will hear from clients as they deal with the onslaught up holiday food that is consuming their life.

Now I’m all for celebrating and having a grand ole’ time with food, but that doesn’t mean you have to have stories like “oh its the holidays, I have to eat and get sick”, “god there is so much food around, no wonder I’m getting fat”.

Our stories about eating, our stories about the holidays and food, like our stories about life in general which affect how we do everything in life, affect how we eat. We usually eat according to our story (s) about eating.

So here are five steps to change your story about food as you go through the holidays.

  1. figure out what your current story is
  2. determine how that story is causing you to eat
  3. come clean with how it’s really making you feel, after to eat the way you story says you should
  4. admit how you cover it up
  5. then change your story to one that works for you!

Once you fully appreciate why the current story you have about any situation or circumstance is not working for you (like how you are eating), you can change it to a story that does.

That requires both practical knowledge, the awareness and the understanding of how to change your story.

Changing your story usually does not result in a change in behavior, unless you go through this basic process and change your thinking. If you don’t, it’s likely you are  just being positive or well wishing or willing your way through situations, with thinking about those situations that is not supportive.

So going into the holidays with a new mindset (story) that you are going to operate from; a new and more compelling and supportive story to live into and through the holidays, is a great place to start.

  • What’s your food story about food and Christmas?
  • What’s your food story about food and Chanukah?
  • What’s your food story about food and New Years?
  • What’s your food story about the holidays in general?

Whatever your story is, make it happy and merry but supportive; and still eat nutrient Rich Foods, for health!

Happy Holidays,

JAM
