Somehow, it’s 2026!

What???

I’ll be emailing you throughout the year checking in, often talking about “Good Day Strategies” to help with weight loss and maintenance, but if this is bugging you, be sure to unsubscribe.

Goodbye 2025, Hello Bold New World

Join me tomorrow as we reflect on the lessons of 2025, especially the last 100 days, and we look to the new year. You will find it right here on YouTube at 9 am Pacific, noon Eastern, Wednesday January 7:

2026 Goals

Having goals for the next weeks and months are the definite path to getting where we want to get. Most people drop the goals entirely after about the first week, but we don’t need to be “most people” around here.

Deep Den members are setting six-week goals. (See Sunday’s email if you’re a member). Everyone should be doing so.

We have longer-term goals too (particularly the “Big Goal” — how we will be living in our new life as we meet our goals in health and wellness).

But shorter-term goals like six-week goals help keep us on track this week and this month so that we continually make progress toward our very important long-term goal. As always, make goals that are specific and measurable. Lean into the Deep Den content if you’re a member. Lean in to the concept anyway regardless.

Additional Resources for 2026

If you need additional help in 2026 here at Eat Like a Bear, I encourage you to grab a book or two or check out our member area. I spend most of my time each day in rehab for an injury and so I am not out on social media accounts fielding questions as I have in the past. (It’s okay. Don’t count me out! We’ll get this.)

That said, the books have driven a lot of success in themselves. They are finally available on Amazon and on sale for the next week or two. Someone even bought one in Australia. What a world. They are also on sale. Here’s the Ridiculously Big Salad book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1934712205

And the Ridiculously Big Skillet book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1934712221

We also have the Deep Den area for additional support. You can read more about it here: https://eatlikeabear.com/the-deep-den/

See you in the LIVE video!

Until then, go be awesome!!!
