What's up guys, welcome back to Empowered Radio. I'm your host, Emma Montgomery. Today we are going to talk about dieting for summer or trips or whatever. I have a trip to Hawaii that's coming up in a few weeks and I'm so excited. I cannot stay myself, especially since winter was extra brutal this year. And I'm saying that and I realize that some people are still

buried under snow. So I hate that for you because I hated it for me this winter. But anyhow,

today we are going to talk about dieting with a strategy versus dieting with urgency. And I know you guys have heard me talk about this a million

times in a million different ways when we're talking about dieting with urgency. It's the reactive

and we're like, oh shit, I'm not quite ready. So that's what we're going to talk about today.

one that's the sense of urgency because the problem isn't wanting to look good for summer.

The problem is when panic replaces our plan because when that happens, we do, again, things

that are done from a reactive place. And think about this with anything. When you have time to

process your thoughts and emotions before you

respond to someone or something that may have, you know, set you off. And it's like if you were just

very reactive, you might say something that later, you're like, oh, I wish I wouldn't have,

like, I wish I would have thought before I spoke,

versus if you have time to just sit for a second and plan out what you're saying,

you usually feel much better about the outcome of that.

So it's the same thing we're talking about dieting. When we have a plan and a strategy in place, we are far more successful, we feel better,

and we end up looking better. And we get to where
