 Slow Cooker Honey Chipotle Chicken is a simple slow cooker dinner the whole family will love!

 This year I have been talking to my clients at a lot about not dieting, dismissing the diet culture that we live in, and instead learning to pay attention to your body and listen to what it wants. 

We are kicking off the holiday season with a monthly challenge of simply asking Why?

In the past we have cut back on the sweets and treats, instead of having a challenge to cut back or to make sweets something to be avoided we are simply tuning in to why we are craving them. If you take a second to ask yourself Why and find that you absolutely still want it then eat it and enjoy it. 

Instead of forcing yourself to say no to those Recces Peanut Butter cups recognize that you want them because they taste yummy, they remind you of Halloweens past, and it is tradition. In giving yourself permission to enjoy it you will indeed find that you don't feel that need to binge, and you don't feel guilty about it later. Instead you actually enjoyed it.

I extend this same challenge to all of you. Ask yourself Why? This will help you tune in to yourself more, in all aspects. Mindlessly eating leads to frustration and guilt. Pay attention and enjoy!

Much Love, 
Nichole, Ruthie, & Madeliene
