I like to think of rest days as reflection days. A chance to look back on the week and really recognize what we’ve accomplished and think about (without judgment) where we can improve. The physical transformation we’re working on inevitably affects how we’re feeling mentally and emotionally. Give yourself space to feel all of it.
Some of the emotions that are coming up might have to do with your eating habits. We all have a different relationship with food depending on how we grew up, cultural expectations, or experiences that shaped our way of thinking and eating. 2B Mindset and Ultimate Portion Fix help you get past those blocks, so you can feel good about the body you’re in.
I know I’ve talked about Ultimate Portion Fix because that’s the solution I use (I’ve loved Autumn’s container system from the beginning and this plan takes it to another level). But my girlfriend happens to be on 2B Mindset and that’s what works for her because she likes the freedom that comes with Ilana’s method—she knows as long as she gets her water and veggies in first, she doesn’t feel the self-imposed pressure that was keeping her from getting results.
If something I wrote resonates with you, let me know how I can help. You can personally message me if you don’t feel comfortable commenting.
