Five years ago, before I was a business owner, before I ever had a business idea, I was on a business trip for my corporate job.

I had been tasked with attending a medical conference in Washington DC.

One evening, the conference put on a happy hour for all the conference attendees.

I was hanging out with my coworkers when a man approached me.

He told me there was a medium at who had seen me and wanted to speak with me.

At first, we thought it was a very odd pick up line, but I was curious, so I went with him to a woman seated at the bar.

She was a completely normal looking 40-something year old dressed in business casuals.

I asked if she was in attendance as a psychic. She said no, she was there working, but she was a medium and did readings on the side.

"I noticed you over there and I felt really compelled to speak with you," she said.

I was shocked.

"You're going to do great things and help a lot of people."

And then she said the most important thing of all:

"Don't doubt...

Who else is a Self-Help junkie?

I have been hooked since I was young. I was watching an Oprah show after school and it was centered around the topic and I just knew I wanted more.

The idea of "improving myself" like you would make updates to your home (weird analogy? ) was so fascinating to me.

I don't know when I bought my first self-help book was, but I now have a collection of them by my bed.

But for me, self-help isn't limited to that book collection. It shows up all over my life- like my obsessive journaling and my endless quest to be the healthiest I can be.

The one area of self-help I feel I have definitely mastered is meal prep.

This is also the area I have seen THE MOST impact on my life and my clients lives.

When it comes to losing weight, feeling confident, removing temptation, having freedom at meal times, having more time and saving money- learning to meal prep will instantly and seamlessly give you all of them.

It won't take years or months to see change in your life, it...

Change can be scary, it can be hard.

Losing the weight or starting a new diet can feel like you are losing yourself and your identity.

And that is actually what is happening; you are getting rid of your old identity and building a new one!

You are brave for making a change, it is not easy!!

The faster you can believe in yourself to be that new person, the less painful that change will be.

Let’s get clear together on whom the new you is…..

What do you think and feel as a thinner, healthier you?
What tools do you need to become the new you?

Write all of that down and move forward from there and you will see how FAST and SIMPLE change is!

I would love to be a part of your journey and help you become the new you!! Join The Meal Prep Course and let’s do this together!

Making a change is HARD!

Whether you are changing houses, toothpastes or overhauling your diet, your brain does not love change.

Make it easier by being prepared.

This is the ONE step I see most people completely skip when they decide to lose weight.

You choose a goal weight, maybe even a diet you want to follow and then each day you wake up and have to figure out how to stick to that diet while being faced with all your old habits.

In that scenario, your brain has NO capacity to form new habits!

You are basically in fight or flight stress mode, just trying to get by with a healthy meal while your old habits work to keep you doing the same old.

To really make a change, planning HAS to occur.

Your healthy meals HAVE TO be ready for you so that old habits are easy to let go of.

This is WHAT WE DO in The Meal Prep Course.

We get you planned, prepared and relaxed, so when temptation arises it is NOT A PROBLEM.

Those new habits form fast and naturally. No fighting or resisting.

A client reached out to me the other day.

She said, “my family just does not support my new way of eating. Making this shift is so hard sometimes I don’t know why I am doing it.”

I told her the only support she really needs is her own!

The people in your life probably won't support you making a change at first.

They only know the old you, not the new you!

But you know the new you, you believe in that person and your ability to become that person... And that is what’s really important.

I asked her “what else can you feel in those moments when you see your family not support your new diet?"

How about pride in yourself for making the change that most will never dare to do?

What about self-love because you are doing something awesome for yourself?

What about gratitude for your family that loves you?

Those are all feelings to try on when you are feeling the challenge, when you are feeling down.

You can do this!

I am so proud of you for just getting started.

I...

STOP FOR A SECOND.

When was the last time you paused and took a look at how far you have come?

How much you have grown since last year, how much weight you have lost, how many dietary changes you've made, how much more mature you are than yesterday ().

This plate pictured here is the sign I made for the original Basically It Meals before it was Basically It Meals.

4 years ago, it was called "The $6 Lunch". I would bulk batch my own meal prep and then take it to work each week and sell it to my coworkers. I hung this plate up at my cubicle to let them know when I had a batch to sell.

That is how far I've come.....from $6 lunch offered to coworkers, to full time business owner, to online course purveyor, to producer and TV personality.

We are all capable of INCREDIBLE CHANGE but so often we are stuck in "I haven't done enough", "I am not enough", "I will never get there".

So, stop for just one second today and give yourself a pat on the back for all the BAD ASS work you have put in!

I am so...

          In the last 3 months, I have:

• Lost my home of 4 years
• Moved 3 times
• Lost my business
• Started a new business
• Had a friend die
• Lost a huge opportunity
• Lost 5lbs
• Lost all my revenue
• Had an even bigger opportunity present itself
  
  The change you can experience in just 3 months is INSANE!
  
  That's how I know it's possible for all of us to set our minds to something and not just dream of change but actually SEE IT come to life!
  
  YOU are resilient and adaptable.
  
  If you want to change your diet, improve your health, lose the weight, YOU CAN DO IT!
  
  I can help you by showing you how to make healthy eating simple and fast.
  
  I can show you how to remove temptation so that change is less painful!
  
  I have done it, I have seen others do it, I know you can, too.
  
  Let's do it together!

I spoke with an awesome group of people in a weight loss program the other night.

These people are making HUGE dietary shifts.

Something most of us will talk about, dream about, but never quite stick to.

These people were truly inspiring.

They wanted to know how to make the transition easier, less painful.

They wanted to know how to stick with it for years to come.

I told them this kind of change takes some planning.  When we leave decisions food decisions until we are hungry, our brain is not capable of making a conscious decision.

When we're hungry we switch to survival mode, and we will eat the most calorie dense thing we can get our hands on.

We have to make those decisions ahead of time. Make them when we are in a clear-headed place with our end result in mind.

When we can do that, success is inevitable.

And the best way to do that is by meal prepping.

Your week is planned ahead, all your food decisions are made, and that way when you are hungry and tired and you open that fridge...

When it comes to my clients achieving their goals, I hear it all the time...

I'm thinking about it
I'm not sure I want to
I just don't know if I can
I don't know if I have what it takes
It can be hard to believe in yourself.

Especially if you have failed in the past.

You may think you don't have enough willpower.

Or you don't have the right resources.

Or you just don't know if you can afford it.

But you know where all of these come from?

A lack of belief in yourself.

If you believed in yourself, you would know that:

-You don't have to use willpower when you are committed to yourself.
-You have all the resources you need right in front of you.
-You have the money. You do. You just don't believe that you will follow through on your purchase and thus your money will be wasted.
