You may have noticed that I like the old food – money analogies.
Work quite nicely they do.
A daily, weekly or monthly budget of what we can ‘spend’ and still be ‘in budget’.
With both having similar flexibility.
I thought of another one the other day.
Imagine your friend had X amount of money to spend per week.
Let’s say £100 for simplicity’s sake.
And they always bought 21 things (3 meals a day innit?).
They were going over budget (gaining weight) on average.
They were pretty confident how much 16 of these things cost.
But, the others?
“I don’t know how much they cost” they reply.
What would you say?
It’s clear the total amount spent is too much.
And these 5 things are probably a major part of the answer.
There’s probably three things that can be done.
Or some combination of them:
1. Work out how much these things cost
2. Even if you’re not sure about the specifics, just spend a bit less on them
3. Spend less elsewhere until we come in under budget
Those five purchases are, of course, the meals out, drinks with friends, work events, etc that are often the things that push our calories ‘over budget’.
We know they’re hard to accurately track.
Because we find the same.
We have those same three choices to keep ‘under budget’.
1. Figure out how to track what we’re eating here – tricky, we know.
2. Just don’t have as much – we don’t use the fact that we’re spending too much money to justify spending even more
3. Reduce portion size and / or make some swaps elsewhere in the week to make up for it.
Or a mixture of the three.
Much love,

P.S. The find out more meeting for the January programme is still weeks away. But if you (or a friend) are wanting to use this January to be the last time you ( or they) have to ‘start again’, then you may as well book in now –>Â myrise.co.uk/briefing-meeting.
