Episode #49: Deprivation vs. Discipline

Summary

Today’s episode is all about understanding and unraveling the difference between feeling deprivation versus discipline. You have a disciplined plan, but sometimes following it doesn’t feel so good, like you’re depriving yourself. When you’re feeling deprived, you won’t want to follow your perfectly-laid plans. You might muscle through it for a while, but eventually, you will abandon it.

So, what’s the difference? How can you generate the feeling of discipline on purpose, instead of feeling deprived? The answer lies in your thoughts. As a high-achieving ninja working mom, you’re already doing a lot, so it’s no surprise your brain doesn’t want to stick to a disciplined eating plan as well. But that doesn’t mean you’re powerless, destined to always feel deprived.

Tune in this week to discover how to move from deprivation to discipline. I’m sharing the biggest mistakes I see high-achieving working moms make when they feel deprived, how rest and relaxation have been intertwined with food in our minds, and how to see that following your plan is something you do in service of yourself.
