Every August, thousands of teachers promise themselves that September will be different. They’ll eat better, exercise more, drink more water and finally lose the weight. I used to make exactly the same promises.
In this episode, I share why I now believe I was trying to solve the wrong problem. Teaching is one of the most demanding professions there is, but I was also asking my body to get through those days on coffee, a light lunch and good intentions. I blamed myself for eating everything in sight after work, when in reality my body was simply asking for the fuel it had been missing all day.
This episode isn’t about another diet before school goes back. It’s about understanding why so many teachers feel exhausted, why evenings feel so difficult and why the goal this September shouldn’t just be losing weight, it should be having enough energy to enjoy both teaching and your life outside the classroom.
