(00:00):
We have to be willing to take
care of our bodies while
we're raising our kids,
while we are navigating a
change in our work status,
while we learning to
care for our aging parents.
So, during these complicated
(00:22):
life events,
we still have to
able to take of ourselves.
[music]
Welcome back to The Fasting Method podcast
this is Coach Terri Lance and
I'm here solo today.
(00:43):
I am here to talk about one
of the topics that I think is
probably nearest and
dearest for most of us in this journey
and probably
one that frustrates most of,
and that is self-sabotage.
Now I know I've talked about this in various
(01:04):
forms and various places, but,
today, I wanted to talk a little bit about
self-sabotage and then I wanted go over
three examples of probably
the ways that I see it happening most
often in the TFM
Community and with the clients
that I work with.
Anytime I talk to you all about
(01:26):
a topic like this, I always go
back and look up the definition of the
term because, oftentimes, I
mean something when I say a term, you
mean something else when you hear me say it,
and so I just wanted to give us a definition.
So, in an article in Psychology
Today, it says, "Self-sabotage
(01:47):
is behavior that creates problems
in daily life and interferes
with long-standing goals."
It goes on to say, "The most
common self-sabotaging behaviors
include (02:00):
procrastination,
self-medication with drugs or alcohol,
comfort eating, and forms of
self-injury, such as cutting."
Now, these are pretty important categories,
and I found it very interesting, in
a general article about self-sabotage
(02:20):
in the field of psychology, that
these were the target points that they
most often see self-sabotage behaviors.
How fitting is that for us?
So let's talk a little bit about three
ways that I see this happening so often.
And for sure, I want
all of you to know these are not the
(02:40):
only three.
We could spend many episodes
going through examples of self-sabotage,
but these are the three I wanted to address
today. And I want to give you a little bit
of a hook for each one of the three I'm about
to cover. The first one,
the takeaway word is
(03:01):
AND, A-N-D.
The second one, the
take away word is WHILE,
W-H-I-L-E.
And the last one will be DOSE,
D-O-S-E.
So let's talk about these.
So in the first one, one of the reasons
(03:21):
I most often see people self-sabotage
(related to their fasting patterns
and their food choices)
is that they have
a social life.
They have a family that they eat with.
They live in a big city
where it's very social and everyone
goes out most nights, and
(03:43):
there are adult beverages flowing,
and there are appetizers
and food and everyone's
a foodie, and then there's desserts.
Or they're at work and
everyone meets in the break room and
shares a potluck meal, or
someone brings in a treat on Friday
(04:03):
mornings and everyone goes to the breakroom
and has these.
So what happens is folks
tell me that they can't
figure out how to make this lifestyle work.
They can't make fasting and eating healthy
work for them because they
have a social life.
I'm here to tell you that I am not
(04:24):
antisocial to the degree where I want
any of you to sacrifice having
a social life.
I want you to have rich relationships with
partners and kids and parents
and siblings and friends and
colleagues.
I want that for all of us, but,
at the same time, I want us to
(04:45):
be able to have the health that
we seek, whether that means
a life without non-alcoholic fatty
liver disease, a life without
type 2 diabetes, or pre-diabetes,
metabolic syndrome, migraines,
cardiovascular issues, high blood
pressure, risks of
(05:08):
other diseases, autoimmune
diseases that are just flaring
often.
I want us to be able to have both (05:13):
our
health and our body weight being
where we want it to be, as
well as having a social life.
So, remember, the takeaway word here was
AND.
I want you to start working on
how do I have both -
(05:35):
my health and my weight, where
I feel most comfortable, AND
a rich and fulfilling social
life?
Because far too many of us
think about it, approach it,
and talk about it as if these
two things cannot exist together.
It's an AND - your
(05:56):
health and weight AND
a rich social life.
Now, the second one, if you remember,
the takeaway word is WHILE.
And this one came from an example.
Again, I hear clients talking about this
often, I hear people in our community,
but I really got fired up about this
(06:18):
one while I was a TV show.
In this television show, the episode
that I'm specifically thinking about,
a woman had worked very
hard to lose a significant amount
of weight. Her starting weight was
over 600 pounds and
so she lost a significant number of weight
so that she could qualify for
(06:40):
bariatric surgery. She had the
surgery and then continued to
work very hard in creating a
lifestyle that would help her to lose
a significant amount of weight.
And she did.
So this episode comes in where
she is going to get
surgery to remove excess skin
(07:02):
because, after she had lost several hundred
pounds, she wanted
to have skin removal surgery for
greater ease of movement.
She was also a single mom
with five kids, and
the kids probably ranged from ages
maybe 8 to 16 or
so. And so you watch her
(07:24):
going through her daily life with her kids,
and work, and everything, and
what she kept saying is, "You
know, when you're a busy mom with busy kids,
the only option is fast food." So
she would go back for her next check-in and
she had gained-- I don't even remember, maybe
another 30 pounds, and she was supposed
(07:44):
to be losing a little more weight.
So she would go home again for another month
or two, and she would come back and she
was up another 30 pounds.
So, by this point, she was
really starting to feel the
impact of losing all
of the progress that she had
made after working so
(08:04):
hard, after having the surgery
and qualifying for the surgery by
losing a significant amount of weight.
So much work.
And what she finally said in
the end was that she had to let
go of the goal.
She decided she could not
take care of her health and
(08:25):
raise her five kids.
She was going to have to wait until
she was done raising her kids.
And I have heard so many people in our
community and my clients that
I've worked with have something in their
mindset that is very similar to
this. "I have an ailing parent,
and I can't take care of my health
(08:47):
and take care my ailing parents,"
or, "I have been moved into
a different role at work because we are
downsizing and it's very stressful."
So, again, I wanna be
really clear.
These are tremendously
big events in our lives
(09:08):
that are complicated to navigate -
relational issues,
health issues, work issues,
familial-caretaking issues,
all kinds of things, financial
issues - but the key
word here is WHILE.
(09:28):
We have to be willing to
take care of our bodies WHILE
we're raising our kids,
WHILE we navigating a
change in our work status,
WHILE we are learning to
care for our aging parents.
So during these complicated
(09:50):
life events,
we still have to
be able to take care of ourselves.
Now, this is not a video podcast,
but, as I'm talking, I keep
putting one of these concepts in
one hand and the other in the other hand, and
I keep doing kind of that balancing-scale
(10:12):
action with my hands.
Many of us often say it as
if we have to choose one
or the other.
"I can either survive
the work stress that's going on right now,
or I can take care of
my body and my health."
"I can navigate
(10:34):
staying with my parents and helping
them get settled into their
nursing home facility,
and get them all set up and take care
of their finances and things,
or I can take care of
my health." We see them as
opposing forces that we have to choose
(10:54):
one or the other.
My emphasis is on really
changing how we see this,
holding both of those objects in our
hands up and doing
our self-care, taking care of
our body and our health,
WHILE we are navigating these
(11:15):
other complicated life events.
And the third one that I wanted to talk
about today is a saying
that I have used often in
my work at TFM.
And I often will say, "The
dose makes the poison." Now, obviously,
I did not come up with this saying,
but this is a phrase that many of us are
(11:37):
familiar with. And it comes from, I believe,
an ancient theorist [Paracelsus] and
alchemist, actually, but saying
that the dose makes the
poison, meaning all things are
dependent on how much of them.
So any kind of naturally-occurring
substance can either be
(11:57):
safe or poisonous, depending
on how much you have.
Arsenic, at a really low dose,
doesn't kill you, but, when you accumulate
a lot of arsenic, then it does
kill you. I also think of this as
'the dose makes the medicine'.
So using something to help
(12:17):
our body also is dose
dependent. Not enough,
we don't get enough benefit.
Too much, we overwhelm
the system and kind of make it
so that the benefit is not really
possible.
So when I think of this 'dose makes the
poison', the example that I was thinking of
is, recently, I had a client
(12:39):
talking about how
she was using
a continuous glucose monitor (a CGM)
to measure her blood sugar numbers to
understand what was happening
throughout the day with her glucose.
Why had she been, at one point,
pre-diabetic, and how was she
improving that, based on her fasting
(13:02):
and her food choices?
She is the mom of young
children and, when she
was making meals for the young children, she
would have a couple of bites.
And the
self sabotage is thinking, "I
can have just a little bit.
A little but won't hurt me.
(13:23):
A couple bites of this won't be a problem."
Whether you're fasting or
whether it's a food that doesn't really work
for your body, it's this mentality
of, "A little bit won't hurt me.
As long as I just have a
small amount, everything will be okay."
So what happened for this client
is, when she started wearing her CGM
(13:45):
and seeing her glucose numbers, she
was very surprised to see
that a couple of bites of something,
when she was between meals
or whatever, (and a couple of bites of
food that might be healthy food or might
be problematic) was actually
increasing her blood glucose pretty
significantly, and it was
(14:07):
staying up longer.
So that lower-brain
statement to convince herself it was
okay wasn't true.
That little bit did matter, it
did raise her glucose, it
did activate insulin, then,
and it was interfering with her
(14:28):
being able to fully feel
the success that she had been seeking.
So, even though 'the dose does
make the poison', a little
bit while we are trying not
to activate insulin, is very
misleading.
Same thing with 'the dose makes
the medicine'.
(14:49):
If I tell myself, "Well,
I did a little bit of fasting today, that
should be good," yeah, of course
it's good, but is it powerful
enough to give me the
benefits that I'm seeking by doing
some fasting?
So, certainly, it would be healthy for me
to take some breaks and do some
(15:11):
hours without food, but, if
I'm seeking larger benefits from
fasting, and I'm not fasting
enough, I'm going to see
the benefits.
So the self-sabotage comes out here
in that we undervalue
the impact that something is going to
have on our health and our
(15:33):
weight loss, or we
overvalue, we overestimate
and think it should be doing more than
what it really does.
So each of these examples are
ways that we have learned to
think about and say to ourselves
that interfere.
They prevent us from reaching our
(15:54):
goals.
So if I say, "Ah,
well, because I have a social life,
this health thing just isn't for me,"
what is that gonna mean for us?
It means I have to choose being
miserable and having no one in my
social sphere, or
I have to lean into my
(16:17):
social group and just
sacrifice the health goals
and the weight goals that I want.
How about the other one, WHILE?
If I can't focus on
my health and my
body WHILE I
am navigating difficult things, there's
never gonna be a time to do it.
(16:39):
When is our life so simple
and so uncomplicated
that fasting and eating healthy
just feels so natural and
so much fun?
No, it has to
be WHILE we're navigating
everything else in our lives.
This is why I emphasize so much,
(16:59):
making eating the right foods for your
body and taking breaks
from eating (whether that's time-restricted
eating or moving up to longer
fasts), if we create
a lifestyle that focuses
on engaging with the foods
that work well for our body, and
a frequency of eating, and a frequency
(17:22):
of breaks between eating
that really help us reach our
goals, we can then
do this WHILE we are also
navigating everything else in our lives -
while we are in grad school,
while we are preparing for
a big exam,
(17:42):
or while we are doing our taxes,
or while we are on vacation
in Italy.
We have to be able
to do the things that work for our
goals, to create our health
and maintain the weight where we
want it to be WHILE we live our
(18:03):
lives.
So three takeaway words today to
help you curb your self-sabotage -
AND, WHILE,
and DOSE.
If, as you've been listening to this,
you have recognized yourself in
any of these three self-sabotage
(18:23):
behaviors, or if you're
aware of other things you do that get
in your way, I invite
you to take a deeper dive into self-sabotage
by joining my workshop that is
coming up in May.
There will be four workshop
sessions that are 90 minutes long.
I will do a presentation about some
(18:45):
concepts related to self-sabotage
and strategies to overcome self-sabotage,
and then we will work together
in processing that information and
talking about how you can integrate it
into your life. There also will
be a private thread in our
Community forum for everyone in
(19:06):
that workshop to be able to be
processing together what's going
on in this journey, what they're
discovering about their self-sabotage
behaviors, and how they're working to
resolve them.
Now, this workshop begins
May 6th and it runs through the
15th, so please
(19:26):
come take this deep dive with
me. Let's figure out together
how to stop self-sabotage
from being the thing that holds you back
and prevents you from reaching your goals.
You've got too much knowledge and too
many skills to be held back
and not reach the goals that you want to
(19:47):
achieve. We'll include the sign-up
for this workshop in the show notes.
There are also a lot of other masterclasses
and workshops available (one
each month for the next few months), so
take a look and see.
Maybe you want to take a few of these,
maybe you just want to do one, but,
either way, think about what's
(20:09):
holding you back, what do you need to
engage differently to make this
journey really successful for you?
I look forward to seeing you in the workshop,
and, until then, see if you need
to work on these - AND, WHILE,
DOSE - types of self-sabotage
that you can resolve now.
(20:30):
Until then, take good care, everyone.
We have to be willing to take
care of our bodies while
we're raising our kids,
while we are navigating a
change in our work status,
while we learning to
care for our aging parents.
So, during these complicated
(00:22):
life events,
we still have to
able to take of ourselves.

So let's talk about these.
So in the first one, one of the reasons
(03:21):
I most often see people self-sabotage
(related to their fasting patterns
and their food choices)
is that they have
a social life.
They have a family that they eat with.

dependent. Not enough,
we don't get enough benefit.
Too much, we overwhelm
the system and kind of make it
so that the benefit is not really
possible.
So when I think of this 'dose makes the
poison', the example that I was thinking of
is, recently, I had a client
(12:39):
talking about how
she was using
a continuous glucose monitor (a CGM)
to measure her blood sugar numbers to
understand what was happening
throughout the day with her glucose.
Why had she been, at one point,
pre-diabetic, and how was she
improving that, based on her fasting
(13:02):
and her food choices?
She is the mom of young
children and, when she
was making meals for the young children, she
would have a couple of bites.
And the
self sabotage is thinking, "I
can have just a little bit.
A little but won't hurt me.
(13:23):
A couple bites of this won't be a problem."
Whether you're fasting or
whether it's a food that doesn't really work
for your body, it's this mentality
of, "A little bit won't hurt me.
As long as I just have a
small amount, everything will be okay."
So what happened for this client
is, when she started wearing her CGM
(13:45):
and seeing her glucose numbers, she
was very surprised to see
that a couple of bites of something,
when she was between meals
or whatever, (and a couple of bites of
food that might be healthy food or might
be problematic) was actually
increasing her blood glucose pretty
significantly, and it was
(14:07):
staying up longer.
So that lower-brain
statement to convince herself it was
okay wasn't true.
That little bit did matter, it
did raise her glucose, it
did activate insulin, then,
and it was interfering with her
(14:28):
being able to fully feel
the success that she had been seeking.
So, even though 'the dose does
make the poison', a little
bit while we are trying not
to activate insulin, is very
misleading.
Same thing with 'the dose makes
the medicine'.
(14:49):
If I tell myself, "Well,
I did a little bit of fasting today, that
should be good," yeah, of course
it's good, but is it powerful
enough to give me the
benefits that I'm seeking by doing
some fasting?
So, certainly, it would be healthy for me
to take some breaks and do some
(15:11):
hours without food, but, if
I'm seeking larger benefits from
fasting, and I'm not fasting
enough, I'm going to see
the benefits.
So the self-sabotage comes out here
in that we undervalue
the impact that something is going to
have on our health and our
(15:33):
weight loss, or we
overvalue, we overestimate
and think it should be doing more than
what it really does.
So each of these examples are
ways that we have learned to
think about and say to ourselves
that interfere.
They prevent us from reaching our
(15:54):
goals.
So if I say, "Ah,
well, because I have a social life,
this health thing just isn't for me,"
what is that gonna mean for us?
It means I have to choose being
miserable and having no one in my
social sphere, or
I have to lean into my
(16:17):
social group and just
sacrifice the health goals
and the weight goals that I want.
How about the other one, WHILE?
If I can't focus on
my health and my
body WHILE I
am navigating difficult things, there's
never gonna be a time to do it.
(16:39):
When is our life so simple
and so uncomplicated
that fasting and eating healthy
just feels so natural and
so much fun?
No, it has to
be WHILE we're navigating
everything else in our lives.
This is why I emphasize so much,
(16:59):
making eating the right foods for your
body and taking breaks
from eating (whether that's time-restricted
eating or moving up to longer
fasts), if we create
a lifestyle that focuses
on engaging with the foods
that work well for our body, and
a frequency of eating, and a frequency
(17:22):
of breaks between eating
that really help us reach our
goals, we can then
do this WHILE we are also
navigating everything else in our lives -
while we are in grad school,
while we are preparing for
a big exam,
(17:42):
or while we are doing our taxes,
or while we are on vacation
in Italy.
We have to be able
to do the things that work for our
goals, to create our health
and maintain the weight where we
want it to be WHILE we live our
(18:03):
lives.
So three takeaway words today to
help you curb your self-sabotage -
AND, WHILE,
and DOSE.
If, as you've been listening to this,
you have recognized yourself in
any of these three self-sabotage
(18:23):
behaviors, or if you're
aware of other things you do that get
in your way, I invite
you to take a deeper dive into self-sabotage
by joining my workshop that is
coming up in May.
There will be four workshop
sessions that are 90 minutes long.
I will do a presentation about some
(18:45):
concepts related to self-sabotage
and strategies to overcome self-sabotage,
and then we will work together
in processing that information and
talking about how you can integrate it
into your life. There also will
be a private thread in our
Community forum for everyone in
(19:06):
that workshop to be able to be
processing together what's going
on in this journey, what they're
discovering about their self-sabotage
behaviors, and how they're working to
resolve them.
Now, this workshop begins
May 6th and it runs through the
15th, so please
(19:26):
come take this deep dive with
me. Let's figure out together
how to stop self-sabotage
from being the thing that holds you back
and prevents you from reaching your goals.
You've got too much knowledge and too
many skills to be held back
and not reach the goals that you want to
(19:47):
achieve. We'll include the sign-up
for this workshop in the show notes.
There are also a lot of other masterclasses
and workshops available (one
each month for the next few months), so
take a look and see.
Maybe you want to take a few of these,
maybe you just want to do one, but,
either way, think about what's
(20:09):
holding you back, what do you need to
engage differently to make this
journey really successful for you?
I look forward to seeing you in the workshop,
and, until then, see if you need
to work on these - AND, WHILE,
DOSE - types of self-sabotage
that you can resolve now.
(20:30):
Until then, take good care, everyone.
