I highly recommend this incredible presentation! Deborah's information about insulin regulation is presented with excellent visuals that thoroughly explore the concepts central to weight control However, I want to add, that I am not necessarily endorsing her weight loss challenge.

URGE JAR II (from https://phasethreelifecoach.com/blog/)

Do you want to create a new behavior pattern?

In my previous post, before Christmas, I talked of using an ‘Urge Jar/Self-Commitment’ Jar to allow an urge to eat/drink… to go unanswered. This practice of allowing an urge serves the Pavlovian purpose of the eventual Extinction of an unwanted behaviour pattern that no longer serves you (overeating, over desiring, overdrinking)… .

While I have used my urge jar for overeating and subsequent 50-lb weight loss, I currently use this same reward system to form my desired new behaviour pattern of drinking adequate amounts of fluids. I, personally, rarely experience thirst and, as a result, I consume a maximum of 5 eight-ounce glasses of fluids/day. For health-related reasons, I am better served to consume at least 8-10 ounces/day.

So, I set out 2 pretty little dishes, one with 13 of my glass beads and, when I consume 8 ounces of fluids, I transfer one of these beads into the previously empty dish. By the end of the day, I have done what is best for my health (consuming adequate fluid) and, more importantly, I have kept my commitment to myself. Eventually, with continued practice, I will be confident in the new behaviour pattern that I can dispense with the reward system.

Give it a go, and, please let me know if this is a useful strategy for you. To be continued…!

Happy 2021, everyone!
