Summary
I was on the phone with a client-friend the other day. We were chatting about her goals and what changes she needs to make in order to feel better about her life & her progress.
She said, "I need to stop telling myself that everything is a special occasion".
What she meant was, "I need to stop making everything special also mean overindulging and/or drinking".
And that's different.
It's not about telling yourself "Hey! Not everything is a special occasion!"
It's about practicing a new belief system: more food doesn't make an event more special.
In fact, if often takes away more than it adds!

| 0:54.3 | So here's what happened. |
| 0:55.3 | The phone, talking about how things are going, talking about her choices, how she's |
| 1:00.1 | been taking care of herself and what changes and improvements she wants to make. |
| 1:05.4 | And it wasn't about weight loss, it was about feeling really good about her body and |
| 1:08.6 | her health and her choices. |
| 1:10.0 | So she said, I need to stop telling myself that everything is a special occasion. |
| 1:16.0 | And I know exactly what she meant. |
| 1:17.6 | She was saying, I need to stop telling myself that everything is a special occasion and |
| 1:22.2 | therefore license to overeat, overindulge, put my goals on hold and kind of throw caution |
| 1:29.7 | to the wind. |
| 1:30.7 | That's what she meant and I totally get that. |
| 1:33.4 | But as we were talking I reframed that for her. |
| 1:37.1 | I said it's not that you need to stop telling yourself that everything is a special occasion. |
