The mobile gas station near me has a coffee drink made by a company called “Slate” it has a sweetener in it that suppresses appetite. I had one once and I noticed I felt full though most of the day. I don’t make a habit of it because it is sweet and I don’t want to consume too many sweet stuff. But if you are struggling with cravings and temptation it’s worth a shot.

Good thinking ahead to what food you can bring tomorrow!! And it’s actually kind of cool you have a nephew’s bday this weekend because it’s an opportunity for a do-over. How you would have liked to do the other one’s this past weekend. Maybe it’s not taking them out to eat their pick. Maybe they get to pick a gift card to a restaurant and you give it to them to go another time. Or maybe you show up for a movie night instead of a meal together. There are other ways to celebrate a bday than putting yourself in a super tempting situation. Like who is gonna order a bunless burger at 5 guys? You were basically set up to fail from the original plan. That’s like asking an alcoholic to go to a bar and order a water. Another possibly motivating thing to think about: there’s a phrase like “don’t go to the people who made you sick expecting them to help you heal.” Something like that. But basically you reference being raised on processed foods and we see it at all the family gatherings. So these are going to be the hardest places for you to be your new different self. But yeah it’s going to take real effort and intentional planning SPECIFICALLY around family celebrations and events because the environment is naturally never going to be conducive to your goals. So accept that, and make the necessary shifts you need to like bringing your own healthy food, avoiding mealtime celebrations, etc. I just thought of this: what if instead of a meal you told your nephew to pick any activity like mini golf or laser guns or axe throwing or the million of activities out there and go do that with him for his birthday. That would likely even be a lot more memorable experience with his uncle than a meal. But back to what I was saying about the family stuff… another mindset shift could be “I’d like to role model to my nephews what trying to be healthy looks like so they’re not raised the same way I was and end up in my situation.” I love the phrase “you can’t change other people, but you can inspire people to change.” I don’t think you need to even talk much about your diet but simply living your life committed to your health… or losing a lot of weight… that’s going to inspire your nephews so maybe one day when they’re overweight teenagers they start trying to become healthier sooner than you did because they had a model in their life of someone who did it. Or they’ll have you to ask how you did it. They certainly shouldn’t be the REASON you’re losing weight but I think thinking of this mindset when you approach family events could help!! You’ve got this, Mark! And ps. If you eat trash tomorrow, be prepared to mentally and physically feel like trash for the weekend. :):):):) and feeling even more unmotivated and not go to the gym at all this weekend. just being that annoying reminder for ya cuz it’s easier as an outsider to see the cycle! Hope some of this comment helps!
