0:00.0	Half Size Me Episode 708, brought to you by the amazing HalfSize Me Academy. To join us,
0:15.9	please go to havesize me.com forward slash join. Hello, lovely listeners.
0:22.8	Today we are going to be getting to hear another episode of the interviews I did from
0:28.1	sabotage to success.
0:29.8	And this time, we're going to be doing it with Aaron.
0:32.7	Now, what I really like about Aaron's episode is she shares a very common thing I hear when it comes to how lower brain chatter can mess up your way of eating and impact you with your calories, which is she goes on vacation.
0:49.5	She always plans to eat at maintenance, but she always goes over maintenance.
0:53.3	And then she feels super
0:54.5	frustrated, spins out, and doesn't see any success for herself. And so we talked about during
1:00.5	our six-week intensive, this issue came up for her. She was going to be traveling. And we talk

1:39.8	it doesn't, it doesn't cause any problems. It just makes you uncomfortable that you will get a different
1:45.4	response and that is what is necessary if you're stuck in a perpetual loop of i do this thing
1:52.4	i keep getting this result i don't like it i can't figure it out i don't understand what i'm doing
1:57.2	wrong i keep doing the same thing and yet i want a different result. Well, that in of its definition is insanity, right? If we keep trying to do something the same way
2:06.3	every time and we keep getting the same result, but we're frustrated, it doesn't make any sense.
2:11.0	But your lower brain doesn't have to make sense. It just wants to keep you in a habit,
