Eric and Michelle Segar Discuss How to Make Lasting Choices in Eating and Exercises using the Joy Choice and…
Key Concepts:
1. How can having conscious awareness of our thoughts related to eating well and exercise enable us to make different choices?
2. What is a motivation bubble and how can it lead to lasting changes in behavior?
3. How the “POP” decision tool works and strategically guides attention from decision traps and leads to making the Joy Choice!
“The Joy Choice is the perfect imperfect option that let’s us do something instead of nothing and harmonizes exercise and eating within our full self. ” – Michelle Segar, author of The Joy Choice: How to Finally Achieve Lasting Changes in Eating and Exercise.

Hey, I found The One You Feed on Insight Timer, and am so grateful for all of the work that you do.
I was listening today to Michelle Segar’s second podcast with you, and the commercials were all for podcasts about murder trials. It wasn’t a good fit with your podcast. I’m not sure it is something you can address, but if you could that would be awesome!
