Ep469: My Spanish Adventure Part 1 May 28, 2024

Show notes

It’s been a lifelong dream of mine, which I did nothing about…until now. My new goal is to learn to speak Spanish by age 60. I’m not too far away! So I pulled out the stops and have taken a lot of action to make this dream come true. (It’s not going to just happen, after all.) In this episode, I describe how I’ve prepared for my Spanish Adventure.

Ep468: Your Life Decisions Inform Your Food Decisions May 23, 2024

Show notes

Food cravings don’t just happen. It seems like the strike at any given time, but usually they are the result of how we’re feeling about ourselves and our decisions, day to day. In this episode, I discuss a certain life decision I made (regarding my relationship) that informed subsequent food decisions. Because it’s all related…”the hip bone is connected to the knee bone…”

Ep466: Are You a Binger, Snacker or Stuffer? May 16, 2024

Show notes

As emotional eaters, our behaviors around food vary. I was a binger…and I could pack away thousands of calories in one sitting. But some have different habits with food. In this episode, I talk about our various habits and how they help us manage our emotions. Yes, you can be more than one type, but getting aware of what you do and why is the first step toward healing your relationship with food.

Ep465: Leverage Your Genetics for Health with Dr. Sam Shay May 16, 2024

Show notes

Understanding your genetics can help you determine your ideal diet, learn how to achieve satiation and even manage your mood. In this interesting talk with Dr. Sam Shay, who has had his own personal emotional eating journey, we discuss how knowing our genetics can help inform our weight loss journey and the choices we make. Dr. Shay is also a stand-up comic, so I enjoyed this interview. I’m sure you will, too!

Ep464: Do You Let People Love You? May 10, 2024

Show notes

It seems like it would be easy to let people love us. After all, love is what we’ve craved all our lives. But when it comes to that intimate feeling of being seen, and loved, we can get a little squeamish. And then we sabotage the relationship with nit-picking and histrionics. Do you relate? Here’s my take on this, and how to sidestep the trap.

Ep463: 275 Pounds and Hopeless: My Mentor’s Story May 09, 2024

Show notes

I recently came across this short recording of my mentor, Roy Nelson, telling his story of being a hopeless case, and boy, he wasn’t kidding. No nonsense. Just pure truth about core beliefs we adopt from childhood, how the subconscious mind stores data we take on, and how to change, and what happens when you actually get what you want (it may not be good). Hope this moves you as much as it moved me!

Ep462: We’re as Sick as Our Secrets May 03, 2024

Show notes

Do you hide the “evidence” after a binge so no one will find out? Do you put on a happy face with others, never letting people know when you’re feeling down? Secrets keep us feeling isolated and alone, and they perpetuate emotional eating. If you want to experience lasting weight loss, it’s time to stop hiding and let yourself be seen. In this episode, I share about the kinds of secrets I lived with before that drove my out-of-control eating, and how I was able to finally heal.

Ep461: The 7 Perils of People-Pleasing May 01, 2024

Show notes

CAUTION: Tough truths ahead! Yes, indeed, in this episode, I talk about one of the biggest cruxes of emotional eating and it’s underlying causes: people-pleasing. Why we do it, and how it undermines our health, our relationships and our eating. Don’t miss this honest, raw sharing of my own relapse with people-pleasing, and what it takes to overcome this destructive habit.

Ep460: How to Overcome a Bad Breakup with Food Apr 25, 2024

Show notes

When food binges get so bad that we swear off sugar and carbs “for good”, then what do we do? We want to be done, but we still feel a sense of loss and emptiness. When comfort eating has been our #1 way of coping with life, we need a new way to cope, or we’ll turn back to the food, just like returning to the familiarity of an abusive relationship. Join me as I explore how to break up with food…and mean it.
