31 Thinking You Deserve a Treat Sep 18, 2021

Show notes

What does it mean when you find yourself saying, “I deserve a (enter your go-to food here).” We all have those long days when we get home and feel we deserve to relax with food, or we've been "good" and want to reward ourselves or we’re celebrating and think we deserve a treat - which of course is food.

If this is happening for you, listen in. We’re diving into this thought pattern and looking at what it really means to feel like we deserve to have a treat, the underlying reason that leads us to feel like this, and how we can keep ourselves at the top of our priority lists, no matter what comes our way.

In this episode you’ll learn:

What it means to think we deserve to treat ourselves with food
What’s beneath this thought pattern
How to keep YOURSELF (not food) at the top of the priority list.
What you can do instead of eating

30 Using Failure to Get Closer to Your Weight Loss Goal Sep 05, 2021

Show notes

Nobody loses weight the first time they try. And usually not the second or third. If you’re like most people, you’ve had too many attempts to count. When we lose some weight only to overeat and gain it all right back, it’s tempting to avoid thinking about it. Instead, we simply chastise ourselves and vow to do better next time.

Do you do this? Then you know it doesn’t work, otherwise you would have released the weight on that second attempt. So how can you approach this differently to get a different result?

In this episode I’ll teach you how to LEARN from your failures, move past the shame and regrets to break the losing/gaining cycle.

In this episode you’ll learn:

The reasons WHY your past attempts have failed
How to we use failure as a stepping stone to actually get CLOSER to your goal
Questions to ask yourself when you don’t stay on plan
How to stop the shame cycle for good

27 Boosting Your Self-Esteem Through Weight Loss Jul 31, 2021

Show notes

One of the reasons why many of us want to lose weight is to feel more confident. We think that if we could just lose 10lbs or 15lbs we would just feel better about ourselves - have more confidence, more self-worth and higher self esteem. But what if it was the other way around? What if to lose those 10-15 even 60lbs it was REQUIRED to feel more confident, have more self-esteem and feel more self-worth FIRST.

That may feel impossible, especially if you feel at war with food and your body.

Let’s explore how self-esteem and weight loss are truly connected.

You’ll learn:

How you can start cultivating BOTH right now.
How to start feeling the way you want to feel when your weight isn’t changing or it’s even going up!
Why knowing how to do this is key to finally reaching your goal weight without gaining it all back
