116. Social Gatherings Without Guilt: Tackling Food and Drink Pressure From Others

Send us a Text Message.In today’s episode, I want to dig into a topic that has been coming up a lot in conversations I’ve been having with sooo many ladies lately: the unnecessary pressure and judgment from others regarding your nutrition and fitness choices. This is something that fires me UP; I’ve dealt with this often myself throughout my fitness journey, so you better believe this one is going to be spicy! Unfortunately, judgment from others will always be there, but I want to tackle this subject as it relates to your health and fitness. While it can be really tough to stand up to others when they’re questioning your food and drink choices, you have got to STOP making yourself uncomfortable by giving in to them. This isn’t helping anyone, and constantly feeling like you have to conform to what others are doing can really derail you and your goals. For some reason, people think that if someone is choosing to eat healthier and skip the drinks, they feel the need to comment, and make them feel guilty for doing so. Yet, when others are throwing back the alcohol and eating allll the shitty foods, no one questions a thing. Talk about a double standard!!At the end of the day, YOU have to be assertive, and f*cking stand up for yourself - you don’t owe anyone an explanation for anything. It’s time to embrace your healthy habits, and be proud of what you’re doing on your fitness journey - I’m always here to talk and will happily encourage you when you need it, too!!In this episode, we cover:The unnecessary judgment we often receive from others + why you need to STOP making yourself uncomfortable in order to make other people feel comfortableUnderstanding that your family and friends probably aren’t trying to sabotage you and your goals, but they also have no business commenting on what you’re doing The never-ending pressure surrounding food and alcohol in social settingsThe ‘double standard dilemma’ when it comes to healthy choices in social settingsWhy you need to stay strong and stand up for yourself, and realize that you owe no one an explanation for your food and drink choices (‘healthy’ or not)How to work with me:FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine and get you the body you want.
