OUTWEIGH: Leanne is back to continue the conversation from last week and dives deeper into the question of "Does it ever get easier?".  She argues that restrictive diets and intense exercise plans create a cycle of difficulty and ultimately fail because they train your brain for "hard work" instead of  training it for"ease."  

This week Leanne literally shares a step-by-step checklist for how you can make sure your brain is focusing on creating "ease" by practicing behaviors that are enjoyable, sustainable, and create a sense of freedom.  You can take this "checklist" of practices that cultivate ease (flexibility, consistency, happiness)  contrasted with practices that reinforce difficulty (control, pain, guilt) to make sure that YOUR brain is set up for success.  

By understanding these two categories (when your brain is practicing EASE vs. when your brain is practicing HARD), you can choose the path of least resistance which leads to lasting change and a more peaceful relationship with food and your body.

A New Nightly Ritual That Will Calm Your Worries & More (5th Thing)

OUTWEIGH: On this week's episode of Outweigh, Leanne tackles a question on every woman's mind stuck in the diet-and-weight-loss cycle: "Does it ever get easier?"  Leanne challenges the idea of quick-fix diets and restrictive plans, arguing that they simply create more of the yo-yo effect that you're desperate to break free from AND leave you feeling like a prisoner in your own body.
Instead, she proposes a different approach:  focusing on the "why" behind your struggles with food and body image. By becoming a master of your thoughts and habits,  you can break free from the "diet mentality" and start creating sustainable change.  The episode offers a seed of hope, suggesting that true ease comes from changing your thinking, not through sheer willpower and deprivation.

"Does It Ever Get Easier?" - Part 1 (Outweigh)

As humans, experiencing challenges is part of life and facing those challenges head on is evidence of resilience. Camille Alston is back on as Amy’s guest, as she’s someone who has persevered through life experiences to get to where she is today. Most recently, a tornado touched down, changing her business as she knew it. This happened right after she came on the podcast last year, so she’s back on with a fresh take on resilience + hope (but don’t call it a comeback - she’s been here for years - shout out LL Cool J) and after listening you’ll see that Camille is for sure a buffalo, not a cow. Which one are you?
