I’m down almost 60 lbs total. I thought the food noise would go away but it never has. I literally can’t have some things in my house and I need to buy individually packaged things. Can anyone relate?

Totally relatable! I usually do the grocery shopping if my husband wants unhealthy snacks I tell him to buy it himself and never big bags. Although I do let myself indulge in a couple chips if he gets a bag of Doritos. Still gotta live!

Lauren – Thanks for being real! 60# down, that’s fantastic! You are obviously doing a whole bunch of things right! But, I get it…. I think a lot of us struggle with the food noise. Portioning, getting in a quick walk and some fresh air, having someone else do the shopping so you aren’t triggered at the grocery store – these are all great ideas to help quiet the noise. Here are some others to try, if you haven’t already! Prioritize your sleep – good, restful sleep really does make a difference in achieving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I know when I’m tired, I don’t always make the best decisions. Also, practice a mindful pause whenever you do notice food noise. Tune in to what you really need in that moment – Is it food? Comfort? Entertainment? Social connection? A break? There are many different forms of nourishment. And, most importantly, be gentle with yourself. With intentional work, you’ll gradually create space between you and the constant chatter, allowing you to make choices that truly serve you!

I am down 50 lbs since my 3rd pregnancy and trying to make lifestyle changes! Excited to have another push because I’ve hit a bit of a wall

I’m in the exact same boat! 3rd pregnancy last April and I’m down 45 pounds but have also hit a wall :joy:

I do something similar to Jean, but with olive oil. And you can literally roast most any veggies together! I’ve done every color bell peppers, tomatoes, green beans, squash, carrots, broccoli, onion, etc. I’ve done several of these together and they are so good! What’s great is that it’s sometimes just whatever veggies I have on hand!

Roni T.

That looks pretty good!

Happy Friday!

Staying on track with your nutrition does not come down to just prepping your food and tracking your macros. Sleep is also an important factor when it comes to keeping your nutrition in check.

Not getting enough sleep can increase the hormone ghrelin which is our "hunger hormone". Think of ghrelin as the little gremlin that makes your stomach growl. Ghrelin increases your appetite and food intake making it harder to consistently make good nutrition choices.

Getting enough sleep increases the hormone leptin. Leptin, unlike ghrelin, helps regulate hunger and helps keep you feeling full.

So...this weekend make sure you are getting enough sleep not only because it's good for your overall health but to help you keep your nutrition on track.

I have been struggling so far in 2026 with getting enough sleep because I’m doing this difficult work training yet been working on going to be a little earlier. This holiday weekend I’m making sure to get extra rest and sleep. It helped that it snowed a few inches Saturday because I used it as an excuse to go back into bed an get more quality sleep.

I've put getting enough sleep at the top of my New Year's goal!
