How to Really Commit to Your Goals and Get Results May 02, 2019

Show notes

"Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want. No one can hit their target with their eyes closed." ― Paulo Coelho

You think you want to shed some weight REALLY badly. You've tried many times.

But you haven't succeeded. Or maybe you've lost weight only to regain it.

How many times have you thought these things:

"I'll start again on Monday!"

"I just can't lose weight!"

"It must be my metabolism."

"I just have no willpower."

"I haven't found the right diet yet."

All of those thoughts are totally off base.

The reason you haven't lost weight and kept it off is likely because:

You keep going on diets, and diets do not produce permanent weight loss
You haven't fully committed to your goal.
You haven't found your compelling reason for dropping the weight.

Listen to learn the steps you need to take to be fully committed to your effort to shed your extra weight.

If you're ready to learn how to break your emotional eating habit--learning how to get your beastie brain to shut up and use your thinking brain to make decisions about what to eat, check out my eCourse, 30 Days to End Emotional Eating Forever.

Why Losing Weight for a Big Event is the Wrong Approach Apr 23, 2019

Show notes

Have you ever decided to lose weight because a big event was coming?

You're getting married.

Your high school reunion is a few months away.

You're going to the Caribbean or the beach and can't avoid putting on a swimsuit.

You want to look your best, so you decide something like, "I need to lose 20 pounds--FAST!"

Then you start some kind of quick-fix diet. You know, like the ones you've tried a million times before that haven't worked.

Maybe you think, "I'll just cut out carbs for the next few months! I can do that!"

Or "I'll do Whole 30!"

Losing weight for a big event is a lousy motivator, though, and that's why it rarely works.

Why waste your time and energy losing weight temporarily, especially when yo-yo dieting is unhealthy?

Listen to learn the importance of motivation and commitment in your weight loss effort, and how to get motivated to succeed over the long term.

Are You Losing Weight at the Expense of Your Health? Apr 16, 2019

Show notes

Years ago, there was a skit on Saturday Night Live called "Fernando's Hideaway." Fernando's motto was, "It's better to look good than to feel good."

It seems like that must be the motto of the many people going on diets like Keto and other unbalanced plans. Every week, I read something about the dangers of the most popular fad diets.

Every week, I read something about the dangers of the most popular fad diets. Following the recording of this podcast, the medical journal Lancet published a study that showed that 6 million people die each year from a diet that does not have adequate amounts of fruits and whole grains. Yet some popular fad diets require people to not eat ANY of those foods.

Why would anyone choose to endanger their health, including increase their risk of heart attack, to lose weight?

Too many people are continuing to opt for what are being advertised as "quick fixes" for weight loss. Maybe they don't realize the dangers of certain fad diets.

In this episode, I'm talking about the health risks of fad diets for weight loss, including the dangers of several currently popular diets.

Listen to hear 10 very real dangers of yo-yo dieting, Keto, intermittent fasting and other diets.

Changing your habits produces permanent weight loss with no health risks. If you haven't downloaded my 8 Secrets for Permanent Weight Loss yet, you can grab a copy in the show notes on my website.

What Do You Think When You Look in the Mirror? Apr 09, 2019

Show notes

When you look in the mirror, what do you think?

Does it ever sounds like this?

"I can't wear that, I look so fat in it!"

"Look at those cottage cheese thighs!"

"Wow, where did all of those wrinkles and grey hairs comes from?"

"I used to look so great when I was 20! What happened?"

Except that at 20, you were just as critical of how you looked!

When it comes to passing judgment about our appearance, is there any bigger critic than ourselves?

It doesn't have to be that way. While we can't control what other people think about how we look, and really should not care because that's always about them, we CAN control how we think about our own appearance.

As women, the unfortunate thing is that we are raised in a society that values our appearance above everything else and wants us to be obsessed with it. We get a message from a very young age that it is very important to be pretty and slim.

How much of your time do you spend obsessing about your weight and appearance? Have you set impossible standards for yourself?

Listen and learn why it is so important for you to stop grieving how your body doesn't look the way you think it should, and why you must love yourself and appreciate your body the way it is right now. That doesn't mean you can't want to be healthier or slimmer, but you can make peace with your body while striving for whatever reasonable improvement may look like to you.

If you're ready to make peace with food and end emotional eating, check out 30 Days to End Emotional Eating Forever. You can access it on my website!

How to Enjoy a Buffet or Party Without Overeating Apr 02, 2019

Show notes

You're at a restaurant and there's a buffet. So many good things to eat!

You love food and there are unlimited quantities. Are you worried that you'll eat too much?

That used to be me. My brain would think, "Free food! Lots of yummy stuff!" and I would eat too much just because it was there. Then I'd feel gross. I'd be stuffed and uncomfortable. Usually gassy too.

Why do we do this to ourselves? I'll explain that in this episode, and tell you about a much better way. Because you CAN go to buffets and enjoy them without overeating or experiencing food FOMO.

The problem is that first you have to shed your diet brain.

Listen to learn the difference between how people using the Weight Loss for Foodies Abundance Mindset approach parties and buffets and how different it is from the scarcity diet mindset that you've probably had . . . until now!

I hope you'll use these strategies and prove to yourself that you can go to any buffet or party and enjoy the food without overeating or gaining weight!

Eight Best Ideas You Learned This Year, Part 1 Mar 19, 2019

Show notes

It's the Weight Loss for Foodies podcast's one year anniversary!

I started this podcast because I struggled with eating and my weight for most of my life. When I discovered how to lose weight and keep it off without dieting (with the help of my weight coaches), and made peace with eating, I became passionate about spreading the word to anyone who was interested in learning.

I've heard back from many listeners who have jumped off the diet hamster wheel and learn to eat mindfully, stop emotional eating and lose weight.

To celebrate, I decided to review the eight most important concepts that we covered during the past year. In the interest of keeping each episode relatively short, I'll cover four concepts this week and four in Episode 57.

In this episode, I discuss:

Stop dieting and cultivate an abundance mindset.
Eat in accordance with the Hunger Scale
Eat consciously and slowly, savoring every bite
Eat the foods you really enjoy--no forbidden foods!

So celebrate with me, listen and keep up the good work!

Is Inadequate Sleep Hindering Your Weight Loss Efforts? Mar 12, 2019

Show notes

Do you have some days when you feel hungry all day, no matter how much you eat? That might be because you haven't been getting enough sleep.

What does the amount of sleep have to do with your weight? Lack of sleep is one of the most common risk factors for obesity.

Not sleeping enough can hinder your weight loss efforts. Research has linked insufficient sleep to weight gain.

People who normally sleep fewer than six hours per night are much more likely to be overweight.

Women who are sleep-deprived are a third more likely to gain 33 pounds over the next 16 years than women who get seven hours of sleep per night. Thirty-three more pounds! And that's based on amount of sleep alone.

Listen to learn how inadequate sleep can undermine your weight loss efforts in five ways, and what you can do to sleep better.

EP. 54 - Should You Weigh Yourself? Mar 05, 2019

Show notes

There isn't much that incites fear in weight-conscious people like the bathroom scale!

Do you avoid the scale like the plague? Or do weigh yourself obsessively?

Have you moved the scale around your bathroom to see which location gives you the "best" weight?

Do you let the number on the scale mean a lot about you as a person? Does getting a "bad number" ruin your mood for the morning? The whole day?

The scale doesn't know much about you. It has no idea how kind you are, how much love you give to others, how hard your work, or how strong your legs may be.

The scale knows nothing about you as a person or how the important people in your life feel about you. The scale doesn't measure any of those meaningful things.

All the scale gives you is a number.

It is how you choose to think about this number that causes your distress.

The good news is that you can change how you think about that number.

You can dump the conditioned response of evaluating your life through the filter of pounds lost or gained. You and your life are so much more than that!

Listen to learn how the scale can be an important tool on your weight loss journey, and how you can use it without any drama.
