Practicing Gratitude For Mindful Eating: A Tip For Busy Women

At F3, we believe more in positive and healthy habits that are realistic and easy to implement into your busy life and less in restrictive eating, which is excellent for the women who purchase our products! Because nutrition plays a vital role in fitness and health, the eating experience helps us achieve our fitness/healthier lifestyle goals AND stick with them over the long term.

So, after food journaling, rating our hunger, and removing distractions when we eat, let's talk about gratitude.

Master Physical & Emotional Hunger Cues Now: A Tip For The Busy Woman

Because F3 is more about realistic eating than restrictive eating, let's chat briefly about hunger cues, specifically the difference between physical and emotional hunger and the cues we receive when we experience them. Knowing the difference between the two can help you achieve your goals. 

Speaking from experience, I didn't know how to recognize the difference between these two as an emotional eater for years. Let me tell you, this was true even after I started my fitness journey. Because I struggled with it for so long, I will also still revert to this unhealthy practice if I'm not mindful.

How To Like Working Out: A Busy Woman's Tip

Sometimes you don’t want to work out. Sometimes you want to put your feet up and take a breath because there’s always so much for you to do that you just don’t want to take the time to do something else. 

And let’s be real here, no one is always motivated to work out.  Not me, not anyone. No one is.  And not only is this natural, it’s also OKAY. 

So, what way can you overcome this other than self-motivation?

Elevate Your Fitness Routine With Habit Stacking Today

You pour so much into everyone else that you may even feel guilty for wanting to focus on yourself. 

Here’s the thing…, YOUR health is just as important as everything else! And let’s be honest here, depending on what it is, it may be MORE important than that task you’re currently focused on. 

Think about it, and let it sink in.

Because the truth is, you can’t pour into others if your own cup is empty.
