Planning For Success

Part 1 of the 5 Keys to Creating Peace with Food


We often will plan ahead for vacation, plan which gifts we will buy for family at the holidays, and plan for other random events in our lives. Yet, when it comes to planning for our health, we sometimes miss the ball.

 Last week's blog was a handout with brief descriptions of all 5 Keys. We will spend the next month or so looking at each Key.


The first key to Creating Peace with Food is Planning For Success. Is this a term you've heard before? What does it mean for you?

How I interpret this regarding wellness and nutrition is:
1. meal planning on a weekly basis, 
2. planning for upcoming events (dining out or running errands during regular meal times)
3. getting on the same page with other family members who may be affected by the the planning process
4. Stocking up on emergency meals and snacks if plans change mid-week


When you set yourself up for success, then failure is not an option! How can you incorporate Planning for Success into your week?
