Roadblock: I can stay committed to eating well if…I get to love every meal. Michelle found the crux of one of her stumbling blocks when she heard herself saying about her planned turkey sandwich for lunch, “But, I don’t love it”.
Safe detour: She realized in that moment that that might not be the wisest criterion upon which to base meal choices. Since she doesn’t naturally love the healthy things, she doesn’t have the luxury of being able to feel that way about every meal. Most meals are probably going to need to be, by her standards, utilitarian. I have many clients who take real pleasure in creative, delicious healthy cooking. They do create meals that they love.
