I want to show you what might happen if
you videotape everything you eat for seven
days. At first you gonna say well this is
pretty fun documenting everything I eat
and then it's going to be cumbersome.
Not fun.
Bring out your phone.
Set it up. Turn on some lights and
videotape everything you eat.
And even if you don't actually make a
video at this you don't actually put
it together in iMovie or whatever video
program you're going to find that you're
not spending the week alone your
camera is actually your accountability
partner. It's going to hold you to the
promises that you made to yourself.
Whatever it is.
And so you're gonna find yourself making
slightly better decisions.
Like instead of a couple of Starbursts,
you're gonna have a couple of blueberries.
Like when you end up going out to dinner
alone, you might choose Roti Mediterranean
fast casual instead of McDonald's.
Or when you do go to Chipotle you might
not get meat or cheese or sour cream.
Maybe have one beer or two instead of
three or four. Every time you do go to the
kitchen and compulsively open the fridge,
you're gonna think twice because it's
a little bit of a pain.
Set up your phone. Put it on a little
tripod and, maybe you were just
thirsty.
Or maybe it is ridiculous that you're
looking for something to eat at 11:00 p.m.
You might find yourself doing little
things that make you proud like
something you've been putting off like
finishing three bags of chip crumbs.
You might learn a little bit about who you
really are as a person.
You go out to dinner with some people and
it's happy hour. Is it more important for
you to stick to your diet in order
something more expensive than what's
on the happy hour menu that doesn't
perfectly fit with the diet or
promise that you have made to yourself.
Maybe you realize that you start your day
everyday with a handful of granola
which is basically just sugar and
maybe you'll reconsider that or maybe not.
You might find yourself thinking ahead a
tiny bit maybe not just one frozen pizza
but two frozen pizzas.
But it's all because someone's watching
you're not alone.
You're doing something that you're proud
of during the show off.
Perhaps you'll use food to reward yourself
for completing a task something you've
been meaning to do.
Hopefully it stops the squeaking floor.
Even if you don't actually get it right.
You might find yourself taking a little
like one extra step to make
something a little better.
A little bit of extra effort.
A pizza without cheese at your own special
cheese and maybe some green olives.
Maybe you will throw some broccoli next to
your frozen pizza.
You might find yourself on your phone so
much documenting what you eat and
videotaping what you eat to be so sick
of your phone that you might just sit down
and actually eat your food and enjoy
with intention.
Like actually mindfully eat.
You might also find yourself thinking so
much about what you're going to feed
yourself and whether or not it's worth
it and how you're gonna get it and when
you're going to eat it.
And being so intentional about it that it
almost feels selfish and and end
up feeling like you should do something
for other people like signing up for
volunteering.
Really. This actually was a thought that
went through my head during this week.
You might find that after a full
week that the tiny little bit more
effort to make a green
juice in your blender is so much better
than just making a protein shake
from nothing.
And after seven days you might just have
a completely different relationship with
the barrel of the lens
of your camera.
All right.
7 days is up. Let's close this thing out with
one final grocery haul before
I head to the airport and pick up the
crew. It's been a
long.
It's been a long seven days.
But a short seven days.
I just wanna say thanks for being here
with me. I've it's been just me
the past seven days and I've but I
haven't really felt alone.
I've been thinking about you in some
strange way this whole time so thank you
for that. Thank you for being here
watching this. Definitely describe your
channel if you haven't already hit the
belly and notifications as you appreciate
videos like this hit that thumbs up and
we will see you in the next one.
Special treat.
More Nola. Because I finished all this.
Toast for the baby.
Banana Bread for the baby.
Blueberries for the baby.
The baby is Ezra.
He's not a baby anymore he's 19 or 20
months old.
Finally,
flowers for the Mrs.
