Shame, guilt, disgust... What else do you feel towards yourself after giving in to the temptation of ‘not so good’ food? It’s normal to indulge in a few drinks, maybe a few chips you hadn’t intended to eat. There’s no need to feel guilty. Just get back on track!
Accept that perfectionism isn’t realistic. The “all or nothing” approach
does not work, ever. PERIOD. You need to nd some balance and that’s
where your SFL consultant can help. One bad meal will not ruin your
week or your weight loss efforts. Life happens. One dietary mistake doesn’t mean you’re a failure, nor is it a green light for binge-eating. You can’t change the past. Obsessing isn’t going to do anything except make you more and more anxious and prolong the guilt. Acknowledge what happened and keep moving forward with healthy lifestyle choices most of the time that nourish your body.
Be Kind to Yourself. We tend to be pretty mean towards ourselves. If we spoke to our friends the way we talk to ourselves, we would not have any friends. Treat yourself with respect, and learn to forgive yourself. You can be full of understanding and accepting of other people, so why not be kind to the person who matters most: yourself?
Negative emotions effect weight loss. Negative emotions have negative effects on your body. They hinder digestion, create stress, effect self-confidence and body image. Harboring negative feelings toward yourself about bad choices, can be worse than consuming the inferior food in the first place.
Remember that being healthy is about finding joy and balance in the things you do and eat!

Bacon Cheeseburger Cauliflower Casserole
INGREDIENTS
1 head cauliflower or about 6 cups florets
1/3 cup almond flour
1/4 tsp salt
6 oz pastured bacon
1½ lb ground beef or turkey
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Sauce
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp flour
1½ cups heavy cream
2 tbsp mustard
8 oz cheese of choice
DIRECTIONS
Steam the cauliflower until fork tender. Place into a food processor and pulse until it resembles rice. Set aside in a bowl to cool then add the flour and salt and mix well.
Cook the bacon in a large skillet until moderately cooked, but not crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon to keep bacon juice in skillet. Transfer bacon to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Once cool chop into pieces. Add the ground beef to the same skillet and cook until browned.
Add the onion powder, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper and mix well. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
For the sauce: Add the butter to the same skillet and stir in the flour over low heat. Cook until the flour has absorbed the butter then add heavy cream and mustard. Continue to cook on low heat until the sauce thickens.
Assembly: Place 1/2 cup of the sauce to the bottom of a 9 by 13 baking dish. Spread the cauliflower mixture on the spread as evenly as possible. Place 4 ounces of cheese over the cauliflower. Spread the ground beef over the cheddar slices evenly. Pour half of the remaining sauce over the beef. Place the remaining cheddar slices over the sauce.
Pour the remaining sauce over the top and sprinkle with bacon. Cover and bake 30 minutes.
Uncover and bake an additional 5 minutes. Allow to cool out of the oven for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Makes 6 servings.

Accommodations tip

You ll your fridge quick go-to snacks and won’t get the urge to hit the vending machines.The Continental Breakfast:
Nowadays most hotels o er a free continental breakfast. Some are good, some are bad. They might look like they o er many choices, but in reality it’s limited if you want to start the day o right with a nutritious breakfast.Tips & Choices

Bacon Cheeseburger Cauliflower Casserole
INGREDIENTS
1 head cauliflower or about 6 cups florets
1/3 cup almond flour
1/4 tsp salt
6 oz pastured bacon
1½ lb ground beef or turkey
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Sauce
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp flour
1½ cups heavy cream
2 tbsp mustard
8 oz cheese of choice
DIRECTIONS
Steam the cauliflower until fork tender. Place into a food processor and pulse until it resembles rice. Set aside in a bowl to cool then add the flour and salt and mix well.
Cook the bacon in a large skillet until moderately cooked, but not crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon to keep bacon juice in skillet. Transfer bacon to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Once cool chop into pieces. Add the ground beef to the same skillet and cook until browned.
Add the onion powder, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper and mix well. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
For the sauce: Add the butter to the same skillet and stir in the flour over low heat. Cook until the flour has absorbed the butter then add heavy cream and mustard. Continue to cook on low heat until the sauce thickens.
Assembly: Place 1/2 cup of the sauce to the bottom of a 9 by 13 baking dish. Spread the cauliflower mixture on the spread as evenly as possible. Place 4 ounces of cheese over the cauliflower. Spread the ground beef over the cheddar slices evenly. Pour half of the remaining sauce over the beef. Place the remaining cheddar slices over the sauce.
Pour the remaining sauce over the top and sprinkle with bacon. Cover and bake 30 minutes.
Uncover and bake an additional 5 minutes. Allow to cool out of the oven for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Makes 6 servings.
