Tribe News - 3rd October 2022
Week 4 of the 28 Day Boost π
Wahooooo! How are you?
This week we're moving into Step 4 of our 6 Simple Steps.
Allow your feelings.
In this step we connect with what we're feeling, the sensations in our body, we observe what reactions (thoughts and actions) that happen when we feel certain feelings and we practice allowing those feelings to be there. Not pushing them down, running away or eating them.
When I started my last start I knew 4 feelings. Happy, sad, scared and excited.
I didn't care much for my feelings either. I was a 'push it down and get on with things' kind of person.
Through the growth I've had over the past 3 years I've realised how important it is to allow your feelings and how much this learned skill can impact our whole life.
To become someone who fully and freely allows their feelings is one of my favourite goals I'm working towards.
So many Tribies join the Tribe looking for more control.
It sounds counterintuitive but allowing your feelings provides you with that.
We look forward to our lessons and coaching this week on Step 4.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Our clocks have changed here in most parts of Australia, which means our call times are likely to be different for you if you live elsewhere. Watch out for the 1 hour reminder email so you know when the call is starting. Our 'What's On' calendar should also convert the time to your local time zone (as long as you have your time zone set).
I will also post a 1 hour reminder in the Facebook Group.
I hope this first change of clocks (I know UK, EU and US have clocks changing soon) is easy for us all.
This Week:
Our final week of the 28 Day Boost. We'll finish this week with an evaluation and celebration post. Be sure to evaluate from a place of curiosity, gather data and then find as many things as you can to celebrate. I don't care how uncomfortable you feel celebrating small things, I encourage you to do it and I'll be cheering for you all.

Tribie Spotlight: Amelie Frie
This week I want to spotlight Amelie's practice.
She is using the 6 Steps to achieve her goals, create freedom from food and to live the life she wants to live.
It started on Group Coaching with Amanda Call #1 when Amelie got coached to set herself up for a good weekend. You can watch it here: https://www.fastmamatribe.com/products/call-replays/categories/3062282
Then Amelie did her self coaching:
"Thought models after coaching with Amanda Lee Webster Turner
Unintentional #1: 
C: a festive weekend coming up
T: now this week is lost. I might as well have some more exceptions. I’ll probably be disappointed with myself after this weekend.
F: weak. Judgemental, shame. Disbelief.
A: negotiate with myself. Eat off plan. Avoid the scale.
R: weight stalling or gain. Move into high weight cycle.
Intentional #1:
C: festive weekend coming up
T: let’s make this a great week staying on plan. Every day on plan counts. My exceptions are meals not days or weeks.
F: strong, confident, in control.
A: stay on plan. Fast plan every day before and after the event. Exception plan during the weekend. Use hunger scale and stick to one portion according to feast plan.
R: feel proud, enjoying time away with friends. No huge gain. Stay in low weight cycle.
Unintentional #2:
C: option to step on the scale
T: what if there is a gain? If a do well for two days and weigh myself then instead maybe I won’t be so disappointed. I’ll feel so defeated if there is a gain.
F: fear of failure. Weak. Out of control. Judgemental.
A: avoid the scale and have more exceptions. Follow base plan and not fast plan.
R: weight gain. Even more anxious about stepping on the scale.
Intentional # 2:
C: option to step on the scale.
T: I’m collecting data to evaluate my plan. My worth is not defined by a number. Weight is weird. I want to be in control of food and stepping on the scale helps me to stick to plan.
F: compassion, strong, determined.
A: stepping on the scale on a regular basis.
R: creating new neural patterns and what the scale means to me. Giving myself the best conditions to achieve my goal"
Then Amelie celebrated with her end of weekend check in:
"Jive-ing my way through an absolutely amazing weekend in Amsterdam with a group of friends. So many great moments with lots of laughter. A total of 44.700 steps, lots of food, wine and drinks. And no regrets. Stayed on my plan going for low carb choices for most meals and one portion. But also had 
and 
with no regrets.
This breathtaking art exhibition with art from Gustav Klimt was unforgettable.
Now back on fast plan now. Fasting timer started at 7 pm and is set for 18h. 
"
What an example, using the 6 Steps to move through your weekend with intention and pride.
A massive well done Amelie πππ
