My #1 struggle at the moment is eating all the wrong things and too much of it including alcohol. I don’t take the time to have fun, so while I work out what is I want to do for fun, today I will spend time with my extended family which I really enjoy. Trying to eat without distractions will be challenging but I will give it a go. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation to make some life changes.
My #1 struggle with my body is one that started with my first pregnancy. I know we can never go back to our prepregnancy body, but I struggle with this in a daily bases, unhappy with the way my body looks after having 4 kids. I use to be thin, and could eat anything without fear of gaining. Through out all my pregnancies I gained almost triple what I should have gained..
The one thing I will do for fun today is take my son to his baseball game. Because of just having a baby I have been stuck in the house and just letting my husband take our son to his practices. Tonight I will get out and watch a good game :)..
Eating without distractions, well that will be hard, sometimes I’m feeding my little one and eating or tending to one of the younger kiddos. I would have to eat late at night for no distractions…
My #1 struggle with my body is really the struggle with my mind. I was always very thin and attractive, but something changed, and I was put on medication that caused me to gain 60 lbs in less than 6 months, and then I pretty much gave up. And now, as much as I would love to be thin again, I think I’m afraid to be. So I sabotage. But I’m getting better.
Today, I went to the movies with my kids. I think it was the only 2 hours all day (other than when they were sleeping) that at least one wasn’t fighting, or whining, or crying. Two hours of bliss on an incredibly stressful day. Most days aren’t like this, so you kind of caught me on a rough one, but the movie was fun.
I think if I’m ever going to eat without distraction I’m going to have to move out of my house 😐
My relationship with my body is terrible! I am embarrassed by the way I look and feel! Fun today was going to work and realizing its spring break! I am batting bronchitis and my elderly mom has the flu, I am very happy I took her to the doctor right away!! I really enjoyed the video!! Thank you!!
I’m headed to the yoga studio for a bit of fun!
I really enjoyed the video, thank you!
I have been a yo-yo dieter since having children, but in the last year there have been far less downs than ups in terms of my weight. I definitely compare myself to others, which often makes me feel bad.
In terms of fun, today I went for a walk with my children – it was mainly so they could go on their scooters. I’m struggling to think about the fun I choose to have for myself – it’s very rare – something I need to change!
I have never heard the term ‘eating without distraction’ but it makes perfect sense, and I excited to try it!
I’m so glad I found this challenge. I’m making some big life changes right now so I’m excited for this and all it will bring and teach me too. Tonight I’m going to enjoy a book by my favourite author sitting by the fire. Looking forward to eating something new tomorrow without distraction! 🙂
My relationship with my body is not great. I see my ideal body as 20 lbs (at least) thinner. I am technically on weight watchers, but do they follow it that well. I almost never practice mindful eating. I have 2 kids, so that’sclose to impossible.
My fun thing today was going out to lunch with my husband and my 2 boys. It was something we haven’t done in a really long time. It was nice not to be worried about cleaning up after!
Going to really work on mindful eating at my next meal!
That video really spoke to me especially about the change in your body after having a child which has been my main struggle for the past 4 years! I am going to make a point of eating at the table rather than in front of the TV, this is a habit we have got into recently. For fun I am going to spend time with my little boy and have fun on our day out together 😀
I’ve had a challenged relationship with my body most of my life. I have felt judged by those around me and have judged myself. I have been skinny and not skinny. I have been fit and not fit. I have been active and inactive. But I never remember a time outside of pregnancy when I didn’t suck in my belly. I hate that feeling.
I am now in a very demanding job that is very stressful. It has taken a toll on my relationships, my body and me. About six months ago I started taking steps to get back to what makes me feel good and happy. I’ve been more active and have started seeing changes in my body. But most importantly, I’ve noticed the changes in how I feel about myself and my relationship with my husband. When I feel better about myself, my relationships are more connected and more authentic.
Today I’m going to my son’s two baseball games. This will be fun, and always is. But especially tonight I will be engaged. I will put my phone down the whole time and just have fun watching my son play a sport he loves while his dad coaches him.
This was very thought provoking. In watching your video I realized that while my weight is pretty stable and I’m usually within 5-7 lbs of my ideal weight, I use those 5 lbs as a point of obsession and distraction so I don’t have to look at other areas of my life.
For fun I’m going to do some of my favorite witchy rituals tonight to welcome in a home that my hubby and i are searching for right now.
Thank you Sarah!
Having more fun is going to be very important to me in the coming month, due to a recent breast cancer diagnosis, scheduled surgery and upcoming radiation.but..I’m going to try my besst.
I totally get the mindful eating. We constanly eat in front of the TV. The last time I really tried to lose weight, I made dinner each night and made a point to eat at the table, with no snacking after dinner.
I don’t remember the last time I had fun! You are so inspiring I am so so glad my sister told me about your 14 day challenge. I can feel my way of thinking is already different. I don’t know what I’ll do for fun this weekend but I will definitely do something!
I have always been an emotional eater when I’m tired or something negative has happened and I don’t feel happy. I am very aware of this but still slip when this happens. I definitelyly believe in needing to have fun and have got better at this in the last 6 months. Today to have fun I’m going to put my gumboots on and go and splash in puddles with my daughters as we are in the middle of some terrible weather! But that will get us out and it won’t matter if we’re wet after we’ll just have nice hot showers after and it will be great.
I will check back in about the mindful eating and hadn’t thought it had been a problem but after the video totally think this is an issue for me! I’m so used to being busy it feels uncomfortable to stop even for meals which as I write this know sounds crazy!
Mine is eating outside of mealtimes. I plan our meals as only want to do a shop once a week and also to save time everyday. So I eat a good balanced diet. My eating outside of mealtimes can be chaotic , spontaneous and totally mindless. I really enjoy most foods I eat but sometimes my body just shouts to eat, love the smell, texture, taste and chewing!
A number of years ago I realised fun or doing something for me was very important so I do like to do things I enjoy as often as possible. Todsy I am off to a pub quiz with one of my daughters best friends, her mum and another of her school friends. She passed away suddenly 7 months ago so this is partly her fun, spending time with happy memories and being competative.
My negative relationship with food started when I was in highschool and would come home from school and eat snacks out of boredom and loneliness. I was fortunate to have a decent metabolism in my teens, but when I went away to college was when I packed on weight. It’s been a vicious cycle ever since. Now, I’m post baby and hit 40, so I’m definitely coming to terms with all new body challenges.
For fun, I’m going to block out an hour tonight to read a book.
I will check back in after eating a mindful meal. I have learned I don’t like junk food when I’m paying attention to it, too.
I loved the video and so much rang true. I’m not so much an over eater (although I do eat without realising sometimes) I’m an over spender- I buy stuff I don’t need beacuase I think it will make me happy-I simply can’t afford to continue spending so much. Today instead of buy another mug or plate I had my hair done. Hopefully the happiness will last longer then the thrill of a parcel being delivered, or a bowl of chocolate ice cream.
I loved this. I have the opposite situation to you in that pregnancy has ruined my relationship with my body. I had 9 miscarriages and one miracle baby and it’s really impacted on my body confidence.
I’m running slightly behind in challenge so tonight I’m going to have a lovely bath. Tomorrow for fun I’m going to do a bike ride and Easter egg hunt with family. I’m also going to really focus on what I’m eating and remove distractions x
I would like to lose 14 pounds. I don’t like my belly with its muffin top.
I’m lucky with the fun. I joined a choir where I met 4 new friends. We now go burlesque dancing together and I’m going to try tribal dancing. These new friends have changed my life
The eating without distraction. I usually eat breakfast while I watch the news and my evening meal watching TV. But my lunch I eat without distraction. I will try to do the same with my other meals.
Love the video.
Going to gym after work. Not just to weigh less but to be strong and healthy. This is what I focus on while I eat healthy and exercise. It’s for me to be healthy and strong not to look like a supermodel.
Fun: Going to a party tonight – going to wear what I want and and not care what others thinks of me! I’m dressing for me!!!
Am going to look at my relationship with food and learn to look at what I really like and want to eat.
LOVED your video! I loved especially the part about adding a little fun to each day! This may seem simple, but I love to read in a quiet place and just don’t take the time to do it anymore. I am committing to reading for pleasure at least 10 to 15 minutes every day! That is FUN to me and something that I do not do because I let chores and other tasks take over. Thank you so much!
Fun: I’m going to an gathering of colleagues to make some art 🙂
Not so fun: hungry and snacking throughout the day, eating when bored, body can’t move the way I would like
I’m doing the challenge– took a 20 minute shower the first day with candles, bought flowers, and wore red lipstick yesterday. Today after watching video I’m going to book a pedicure and get my toes painted red. I’m going to practice nondistrated eating beginning with lunch. What you said resonated so much with me that I’m going to send the link to family and friends.
That would be “non-distracted”– darn autocorrect
I have an on/off relationship with food;I have a degenerative back condition which I know is better when I eat less sugar and processed food, I’ve proved it. I just need to get that spark back to do it again.
Have already done the fun today… My daughter donated her long hair to charity.
Xxxx
I can totally relate to pretty much everything Sarah said! So, I’m going to start the fun by taking my girls to the park and actually join in with them instead of watching them run around like lunatics:-) and eating without distraction should be an interesting challenge, fingers crossed the kids do it with me & we can start to break the cycle for them…..hopefully! xx
Doing the LiveMoreChallenge.
This is the point where I’d usually bail.
1. yo-yo weight since early 20s, now a different body post babies with the changing metabolism of my 40s!
2. I will investigate local classes to improve my photography (perhaps with a friend!)
Grazie Franca der&a#39;intelesslnte intervento.Ti scopro "evoliana", spero non "evolomane" :-)Evola, politicamente rimane molto compromesso e discutibile. Ma come "filosofo della storia" resta comunque interessante: "Rivolta contro il mondo moderno" ̬ un libro che si "deve" leggere. Preferibilmente non da giovani.Un buon testo -scusami se faccio il professore Рdi alta divulgazione per approfondirlo ̬ quello del bravo Gianfranco De Turris, "Elogio e difesa di Julius Evola" (Edizioni Mediterranee).Un abbraccio,Carlo

1. I am going to start doing the dishes to help out my husband as he is stay at home dad. I cannot expect him to do all the chores while I am working two jobs. I need to participate and help out as well.
2. I am donating all the clothes that no longer fit me or I think I will lose the weight and be able to fit into those. I will purchase clothing that fits my current shape and makes me feel good.
I am going to pamper myself every day with moisturising my skin
