187. The Most Common Emotional Eating Mistakes and How to Avoid Them (Weight Loss Mindset Tip) May 31, 2023

Show notes

Have a question you want answered on the podcast? Send us a text!

In this weight loss mindset tip episode, you’ll learn the most common emotional eating mistake and how to fix it.
If you find yourself digging through the fridge even though you just had dinner, or going to the break room to find a snack just because you're bored or stressed at work, this episode is for you.
One important thing to recognize is that this is not a quick fix.
There are so many things that you can do to help with emotional eating. And if you're an action taker, you're probably already trying some of them.
You can drink more water, eat more protein, eat more fiber, sleep more, reduce your stress, and choose tea instead of sweets in the afternoon or after dinner.
While all of those things are beneficial, they still overlook the most important thing that you can do to reduce your emotional eating.
This one thing is absolutely free, but it does require your attention and focus. It's an exercise that I'm going to take you through in this video.
And if you don't do this mindset work, all of the strategies that I just mentioned about improving how you eat and sleep and de-stress will not be as effective.

185. Detaching Your Self-Worth & Self-Esteem from the Scale (Weight Loss Mindset Tip) May 17, 2023

Show notes

Have a question you want answered on the podcast? Send us a text!

In today's weight loss mindset tip episode, we're talking about detaching your self-worth from the number on the scale.
Anyone who’s ever tried to lose weight has probably experienced attachment to their weight and a strong desire to see their hard work paying off on the scale.
You wait for a “good day,” go to the bathroom, strip down to nothing, adjust your weight side to side on the scale all in hopes that you’ll see the lowest possible number.
Sound familiar?
But what you may not recognize is that mental attachment to a number on the scale is actually counterproductive to long-term weight loss.
This attachment could look like feeling really discouraged after stepping on the scale and not seeing any downward progress.
It could look like seeing no change on the scale, and feeling frustrated because you're doing everything in your power to lose weight and nothing is happening.
In fact, sometimes you gain a pound or two from last week and you think…
“What’s the point? Why am I doing this anyway?”
Attachment can also manifest as behavior change when you do lose weight.
For example, seeing a lower number and then overeating that day or weekend.
If any of that resonates with you, you’ll love this episode. Inside, I share a quick and simple way to start detaching your self-worth, or self-esteem, from the number on the scale.

Show notes

Have a question you want answered on the podcast? Send us a text!

Losing weight can be tough…
People see someone thin and often assume they know nothing about what it's like to lose weight.
And that’s just not always the case.
You don’t know what anyone has really been through.
Looks can be deceiving. You can’t judge a book by its cover. 📚
Everyone’s weight loss journey and challenges are different.
While I’m 140 pounds today, I wasn’t always.
In my life, I’ve actually lost 85 pounds.
This episode is covering a little mindset tip that helped me along the way.
(Important! 👇)
Signs that you’re not employing this tip include getting burnt-out on weight loss, experiencing a lack of motivation and follow-through, and struggling with frequent “start/stops.”

182. You Don't Need THIS To Lose Weight (Weight Loss Mindset Tip) Apr 26, 2023

Show notes

Have a question you want answered on the podcast? Send us a text!

One common mistake I see when people are losing weight or improving their health is…
inadvertently raising their stress by using the word “need.”
How many times a day do you have thoughts like…
“I need to go to the gym” or “I need to meal prep.”
You don’t actually need to do anything.
In fact, using the word need is counterproductive to your weight loss and health goals.
👉You don’t need the word need. 👈
The word need, along with should, and have to, are three things that cause stress in your mind.
Stress raises cortisol, cortisol raises insulin, and increased insulin makes weight loss hard. 🤦‍♀️
Just another example of sneaky limiting thoughts.

181. Practice Produces Proficiency (Weight Loss Mindset Tip) Apr 19, 2023

Show notes

Have a question you want answered on the podcast? Send us a text!

If you have a weight loss or health goal you’re trying to reach and are struggling with impatience…this podcast is for you! 🙌
A very common roadblock people face when pursuing any goal is impatience. You’ve probably heard that quote good is the enemy of great. We think impatience is the enemy of great.
You can’t buy patience. You can’t shortcut its development. You only get patience through experience. It takes time, but developing patience is a critical skill if you want to lose weight and keep it off.
The other skill is practice. The definition of practice is the actual application or use of an idea, belief, or method, as opposed to theories relating to it.
Translation - doing the work.
Practice + patience = proficiency.
If you’re missing one of these 2 key ingredients, you will not be successful in reaching your health goals. Listen to this podcast learn more about this equation for weight loss success, and how to apply it in your own health journey.

180. Limiting Weight Loss Thought Alert (Weight Loss Mindset Tip) Apr 12, 2023

Show notes

Have a question you want answered on the podcast? Send us a text!

In this quick tip weight loss mindset episode, you’ll learn the importance of “I am” statements.
While coaching Zivli members, I noticed a theme…
“I am” statements.
“I’m stressed.” “I’m overwhelmed.” “I’m bored.” “I’m tired.” 😔
In reality…they weren’t those things.
💡They were feeling those things…and that is an important distinction.
If you don’t like how you’re feeling, you can choose a different thought that will make you feel better. 👍
The only thing we have control over in this life is how we choose to think.
What you don’t have control over are the subsequent emotions, actions, and results those thoughts create.
You create your world with your words. 💯
It’s so important to recognize that you are what you say you are after you say I am.
“I am” is an identity statement. Your brain pays attention to it and assumes it’s true.
Your brain doesn’t know if the words you tell yourself are true or false, it just hears your internal dialect, and goes about looking for ways to create that reality.
If you’re intentional to choose your “I am” statements wisely, you can shape your emotions and actions.
👉 If you don’t take responsibility for your results, you are abdicating your power to change them.
The most effective way to take responsibility for your results is to take responsibility for the thoughts that created them.

179. THIS Will Help Reduce Emotional Eating (Weight Loss Mindset Tip) Apr 05, 2023

Show notes

Have a question you want answered on the podcast? Send us a text!

Years ago I interviewed an emotional eating expert for the podcast.
I still remember being so surprised that the #1 personality trait of an emotional eater was…
✖️Not perfectionism.
✖️Not being a control freak.
✅ Being a people pleaser.
Time and again in my own life and coaching experience with Zivli members, this rings true.
Often someone inadvertently ties their self-worth to the approval of others. So they go about trying to please everyone to feel better about themselves.
This can be a very slippery slope.
If we say yes to make other people happy, at the expense of our own time to recharge and make ourselves happy…what’s the result???
Emotional fatigue and a frustration at a lack of time to do what’s important to us.
And what’s a quick fix to make us feel better…
Food. 🍩🍦🍨
Usually something that is sweet or salty because those refined carbs stimulate our dopamine receptors in our brains to help us feel better.
This episode is an insightful discussion on how to stop letting the opinions (or more often perceived opinions) of others control your behavior.
This is a very important weight loss skill to develop if you want to become fully aware of, and in control of, your thoughts.
