## Resource

In this episode, Coach Santo and I answer two common questions. 1) What do you do when certain foods feel hard to keep in the house because once you start, it feels difficult to stop? 2) How to actually start waking up earlier to work out, without making yourself miserable or sacrificing so much sleep that the plan falls apart after a few days. This episode is about practical coaching strategies for cravings, habits, routines, and food-related decision-making. It is not medical, mental health, dietetic, or eating disorder treatment, and it is not a substitute for individualized care from a qualified professional. If you are dealing with, or feel you could be dealing with, binge eating, anorexia, bulimia, another eating disorder, or a more serious mental or physical health concern, seek support from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
