Or going completely off the rails the second Memorial Day hits, and spending all of June trying to undo the damage? If either of those sounds familiar, this episode is your permission slip to do summer completely differently this year. Here is what I want you to know going into this Memorial Day weekend. You can eat the burger. You can have the cocktail. You can enjoy the vacation. And you can do all of it without gaining the weight back, not through restriction and willpower, but through a completely different approach to summer eating that actually works with your life instead of against it. In this episode, I am giving you the mindset shifts and the practical strategies for navigating the three biggest summer scenarios. Barbecues and cookouts, alcohol and summer drinks, and vacation and travel eating. We are talking about what to eat before you go, what to bring, how to drink strategically without derailing your progress, how to pack and Instacart your way through vacation, and why actually eating the local food and enjoying every single bite is not cheating. It is living. The woman who enjoys her summer and loses weight is not more disciplined than you. She just has a better strategy. Press play, and let's give you that strategy right now. Happy Memorial Day! xoxo, Jackie MORE FROM JACKIE: << Ready to lose weight, fix your metabolism & reach your body transformation goals without restriction?
