Do you find yourself spending a considerable amount of time creating strict food rules for yourself, ultimately leading to a self-imposed "food jail" when you fail to follow them?

Weight loss as a reason for exercising or adopting any behavior we hope to maintain in the long term implies that we are somehow insufficient or defective as we are, and it can make any behavior feel like a burden or a chore.
Why? Because as soon as we turn a behavior into a chore, we engage in a system of rebellion known as reactance theory, which creates tension and resentment towards the very thing we want to achieve. Therefore, we may experience negative emotions before we even start, which can sabotage our efforts to adopt the behavior we desire.
Tune in with Debbie Sorensen and sustainable-change coach Dr. Michelle Segar via the link in the comments to learn how to finally achieve lasting changes in eating and exercise.

How can we create a more supportive and nurturing environment for athletes in today's youth sports culture?
In a conversation with The Art and Science of Mom, Emily Edlynn, PhD and Kirsten Jones author of ‘Raising Empowered Athletes', we hear about how we can navigate the decisions, challenges, and pressures of the competitive world of youth sports while fostering qualities and life skills in our children and empowering them to passionately pursue their goals.

She also advises against being critical of other children or discussing negative aspects of sports activities.
