    What do you do when you find yourself not in the mindset you want to be?

    Planning with flexibility

    I have found this to be pretty successful for me as well. What area do you find the most need for flexibility?

    Having a supportive partner who will cover household tasks and child care so that you can take time for yourself. Reciprocity is best of course.

    Mindset, meal planning and discipline.
    Having something to work towards seems to help as well.

    @kristianwalvatne If not in the right mindset to lose weight I would cultivate self-love through something like loving-kindness meditation, or maybe working with a coach or therapist as a starting point, and start exploring the "why" for the goals.

    I was listening to a podcast recently from a professional who is a leader in their field and she mentioned that she very frequently gets coaching. It made an impression on me. It's easy to think that people who are successful are just naturally good at whatever and don't struggle but maybe it's the case that they frequently ask for help and don't quit.

    When I have been successful at weight loss it was when I felt that my current weight/path was something I was no longer willing to accept, because I didn't feel comfortable in my skin and also willing to do whatever it takes to get to a healthier place, that change is possible, and that I deserve to have that for my future.

    Although food plays the biggest role in weight loss, exercise provides endorphins which are so important for mental health. Exercise may not be making me lose weight, but it is helping me keep my brain in a positive place so that I feel strong and don't want to quit as well as reality check with where my fitness level is. It's easy to ignore a poor fitness level when I don't try to do anything 😳.

    My end goals are the biggest factors. Those are, in no order:
    Achieving my black belt, continuing to get good yearly checkup reports from the doctor, being an example to my family, having a beach-worthy body to get the maximum amount of sun (I don’t think I’ve ever had this in my life).

    Just about everything mentioned here only works consistently when its combined with a discipline. The best plan means nothing without the discipline to follow it. Being flexible requires the discipline to not give up and adapt to change. Having goals are only achieved by the displine implemented in working towards them. Discipline equals freedom....

    Normally breakfast and lunch are always same. Dinners and weekends can vary.
