I AM NOT SEVEN. < KENTUCKY KETO COACH

Yesterday morning my loving husband made us low carb sugar free cinnamon rolls. I shared the recipe here – https://kentuckyketocoach.com/2020/01/26/low-carb-sugar-free-cinnamon-rolls/

And as I was enjoying them, I found myself wondering how close these were to the familiar cinnamon rolls I enjoyed as a child. I was trying to devise at what percent these “new”ones were to the “old”. I was just at about 92% similar when a new thought popped into my head.

I AM NOT SEVEN. Repeat after me… I AM NOT SEVEN.

I stopped myself. Why was I trying to compare the “processed-fake-pop out of a can” junk cinnamon rolls to the “healthy- home-made with love” ones???

Seems like we are always comparing food to back when we were young. Like that is our goal to recapture the flavor? Why is that our standard? I want to invite you all to raise the bar.

RAISE THE BAR

Today, I am not seven. My body deserves healthier options and I am grateful for the education I have in order to make better choices. I am not a child and I want to treat my body with respect. I want to have a new mindset to go along with how I feed my body. DON’T EAT FOOD OUT OF A POP OUT CAN! Yep, I can be just as satisfied with the freshly baked low carb sugar free version.

CHILDISH

Usually we are actually trying to capture a memory… not just a food. The way of life as a child is appealing to most.

NO JOB
NO MORTGAGE
NO CAR PAYMENT
NO HEALTH INSURANCE PAYMENT
NO CAR INSURANCE PAYMENT
NO TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO EAT FOR DINNER

All of the freedom of a child is what you actually long for.. not the food. Food does trigger a memory but it is time to get real about what you want. You are looking for freedom. Freedom is found in your mindset and not in your refrigerator. Each time we choose a food item, we are feeding an emotion. How do we make the shift to just feeding our bodies?

RESPECT IS THE NEW FAST FOOD

My major shift in mindset is about respect. At 40 years old (five years ago), I had my gallbladder removed. This is a common thing to happen and most of the women in my family also struggled with gallbladder complications. I felt like it was inevitable and with that came loss of control of my body. This did not set well with me. I was overweight, sluggish, hangry and always fatigued. It wasn’t till a few years later with the help of my husband did I start learning how to take back control of my body. Here is my “why” story…https://kentuckyketocoach.com/about-me/

I learned that the best way to prevent having to remove anymore organs was to treat my body better. How did I do that? I changed what I put into it. FOOD! Food saved me and my relationship with my body. How do I now feed an emotion? MEDITATION

Keeping food and emotions separate is the name of the game. Using the keto lifestyle has been the number one tool in my toolbox. Keto has helped me because I never get to that common desperation hunger that I was use to get to after a long work day. I do not feel so hungry anymore that I feed my body something it does not deserve. How did I start keto? I struggled, but you don’t have to struggle. I wrote a guide on exactly what I did and wish I would have had something that that when I first started. Here is the guide…https://kentuckyketocoach.com/product/keto-lift-off-part-one-paperback/
