Gentle Forgiveness for Diet "Mistakes" -- How can we forgive ourself for our past transgressions when we have a fear that if we forgive ourself too much we will be cutting too many corners and never get where we are going?

Should you live by the 80% rule when it comes to dieting? Find out what it is. Also find out a great lesson that you can learn from children about how to succeed at dieting. (the book Sandra references is: “Slow Burn by Stu Mittleman)

How to do more than you think you can, by backing off of your goal-oriented, outcome-based attitude and using a path of least resistance to allow you to enjoy the experience. If Stu Mittelman can used “enjoying the experience” as his goal to train long distance runners and to run a 3,000 mile journey in 56 days then maybe we also can apply what he has to teach us in order to lose that next pesky two pounds, follow through on what we desire for our strength training, etc.

Sandra addresses dieting through self love and how to use the process of losing weight to listen to the self talk and tone of voice that you use with yourself — and how to change that from a critical voice to a more gentle loving voice.

Looking for the mental/emotional solutions as well as the calories-in calories-out solutions.

Focus Days. When you look at your calendar for the challenges, you can start seeing the weeks, or at least days, or at least meals that aren’t challenging. These are your “Focus Days” — if you don’t blow calories during “focus” times the “challenge” times are not nearly as critical.

Getting to our “path of least resistance” instead of trying the same old things that we are resistant to.
