Brain Boss

Today on the podcast I’m answering a listener question from Kelley about how to handle social situations when you love good wine and good food, but it leads to sabotage.

I offer her 2 tools to practice, how relying on willpower just increases desire and sabotage, and how to work with the competition in our brains between wanting to lose weight, but also wanting to drink wine.

After Values Part I, you know what values are and how they relate to weight loss. The deeper level is to ensure we are building values from an intrinsic place, not from external pressures, and how to make sure our values don’t become rigid rules.

To align your Values with your weight loss goal the how looks like this: we want to align our goals with intrinsic, flexible values that bring joy to the journey, not just in achieving the result.

Because our values differ based on life domain: relationships, weight loss, career, finance, we can also run into Value Conflict. That’s why I think it’s equally important to talk about Values Hierarchy and what to do in those situations.

Your only responsibility with this episode is to identify your intrinsic weight loss goal values, and I’ve made it super easy for you: I’ve created a downloadable workbook for this episode. Head over to my website www.jenpillipow.com to grab it, or download it here.

If you’ve got diet fatigue – if you’ve spent years (decades even!), trying to eat less, move more, quit sugar, quit flour, and your weight has been up and down, you may just need to regain a sense of meaning and purpose for your goal.

On today’s episode, I talk about what Values are, how they are the secret sauce to staying committed, and the 4 reasons how they help us reach our goal of sustainable weight loss.

This episode is perfect for you if you are sick of yo-yo dieting and want a solution that will make you happy NOW – not in some future scenario of when you reach your ideal weight. Let’s not postpone happiness any longer.
