When Plan A Fails – Here's the Real Plan

Here’s the truth: Plan A sounds great on paper.
You know, the one where you wake up early, drink the lemon water, make the smoothie, do the workout, ignore the cookies, answer every email, and somehow maintain an inner peace that rivals a Buddhist monk on retreat?

Yeah, that one.

But life has other plans. The smoothie spills. Your kid’s sick. Your boss needs “just one thing.” And suddenly, you’re face-first in a bag of chips wondering what happened.

That’s where Plan B comes in—and honestly, it might be the better plan.

Plan B is where real life lives. It’s where self-compassion meets science, and where we stop chasing perfection and start building something sustainable. This is where my six simple rules shine brightest. They’re flexible, grounded in functional nutrition, and designed to help you get back to your center—every single time.

Plan B says:

• You’re allowed to reset—without shame.

• You can listen to your body instead of punishing it.

• You’re not broken because you need a do-over. You’re human.

And here’s the secret:
Self-control doesn’t disappear when Plan A flops. It evolves. It steps into curiosity instead of criticism. It asks, “What do I need right now?” not “What did I do wrong?”

So if you’ve been beating yourself up because things didn’t go according to plan, I want you to take a deep breath and remember: Plan B is still progress. In fact, it’s often the real plan—the one that leads to lasting change.

This is the work I do with people every day. We find the rhythm underneath the chaos. We heal the relationship with food. We use nutrition as a tool—not a punishment. And we learn to trust our bodies again.

✨ You don’t need a perfect plan. You just need a plan that can hold you when life gets messy.

If this resonates and you want more—deeper stories, practical tools, a touch of neuroscience, a bit of humor, and a whole lot of heart—check out my older blogs, where I unpack all of this and more.

Because when you feed your body with purpose, you feed your life with power. 

This isn’t a diet.
This is medicine.
