Create Your Balance

Why do you work out? Go ahead and really think about that for a second before you dive into this podcast. People work out for many different reasons..to lose weight, to tone up in certain places, for that wedding they have coming up, to feel stronger and empowered. So why do you work out?

I feel I used to approach working out from the wrong aspect and I'm going to be talking about that in this episode. It seemed no matter what I did, I wasn't seeing the results I thought I should have been seeing. It wasn't until I took a step back and asked myself WHY I was working out that I realized I was doing it for SUPERFICIAL reasons…YEP, many of us do that.

What approach do you take when you start a workout program? Is it positive or negative? Do you even know?

Let's dive into it all real quick here. Shall we?

When is comes to weight loss and calories, it seems the "magic" number is 1200 calories.

In this episode, I am going to break that all down for you. The diet indusrty is promoting the eat as little as possible, lose some ( water) weight, see results ( temporarily) and then gain it back and then some…only to go on another diet that does the same thing. Sounds crazy, doesn't it? Well, it is and it's NOT working.

SO, how many caloires should you be eating if you want to lose weight or maintain what you've lost. First off, in order to actually lose weight and keep it off, you MUST lose fat, not water. These quick fix, magic, bullshit low caloire diets will only get you water loss and that is NOT sustainable. Let's break it all down and see how many caloires you actually need in a day to just survive and then we can talk the number you need for ( sustainable) weight loss.

In this episode, I'm revealing the TRUTH behind the BS of waist trainers. Seriously, what are we training our waists for? These things are HAMRFUL and they serve NO purpose at all in slimming your waist as they FALSELY promise!!

Stop "waisting" your money on them. They are actually defeating the purpose of having "abs"..did you know they WEAKEN your ad/core and pelvic core muscles?? That's just ONE of the unhealthy things they do. Let's talk more about the dangers of waist trainers/ trimmers.

While they may be trendy, they're not likely to help you lose much weight around your middle. In fact, they can be dangerous and may be risky to your health.

Take a listen to this podcast to learn about what waist trainers do and whether they're worth the risk

How's your relationship with food? I'm going to tell you that IF you've ever been on a diet, your relationship may be "complicated"with food.

I'll be bringing that to light in this episode along with a few ways that you can imporve that relationship. You may think your relationship is just fine with food, I know I did.

A good relationship with food involves welcoming all foods in moderation, eating foods that you enjoy, not allowing food to control your life, and knowing that the foods you eat do not define your value as a person.

That was not quite my relationship with food with all the dieting I had done in the past. I was actually AFRAID of food ( Sounds crazy, I know). I would weigh, measure, track, avoid, fear, restrict, obsess and straight up just not listen to my body and the hunger cues it was giving me. THAT, is what happened in diet land and it is also not a very good relationship with food.

Let's dive intohow to improve that and actually be albe to look at food as food and not a good or nad thing.

I'm sure MANY of us have been on a diet or two during our lifetime.

In this episode, I am going to be breaking down the thought process I used to have about diets that so many still have and why it is such BS. Yep, I'm going there. It's time the diet industry and all the crap they have been jamming down our throats gets exposed.

I honestly used to believe that IF I did the diet for said amount of days and lost the weight, once it was all over I could go back to normal and things would be just fine…well, I fucked around and found out that wasn't so true. BUT for so long, I would blame myself ( because that's what the diets want you to do). I thought I was the one who was doing it all wrong and would just go from diet to diet thinking it was me.

It was never a one-and-done because I NEEDED to lose the weight or try not to gain it back or lean out or fit into my jeans..it was ALWAYS something. Sadly, I learned to think that way because I was brainwashed by the diet mentality for more than half my damn life. I know many out there that are on this same path and it's not a way to live I can tell you that.

I'm diving into why we just can't seem to maintain that weight loss and why it is such a struggle. I'm going to be straight-up honest with you and give you the ONLY way to end that struggle and what to do about it all.

There IS another way!!

Yes, I said DANGEROUS…In today's episode I am going to talk about society's beauty standards and why the suck and afre dangerous. Take a look around on social media and look at the cray things that get attention.

Doesn't everyone want the "perfect" figure, pouty lips and whatever else they promote that makes you socially acceptable? It seems it all comes down to appearance and whtehter or not you feel accepted in today's society. The standards are a bit irrational and king of hard to keep up with since they are ever changing.

I'm calling bullshit on these standards and telling you that they can be down right dangerous. Not only for us women today BUT for our children and here's why…

From body dysmorphia to eating disorders to negative emotions AND even suicide…I'll be diving into them all and the dangers of them. Let's chat more about that…shall we?

************************

I also mentioned last weeks podcast about waving the white flag on the fantasy ( perfect) body. You can listen to that HERE

In this episode, I read something about waving the white flag that Donna Ashworth wrote. It hit me hard when I read it because I waited so damn long to wave that white flag. I played the diet game for far too long hoping I would one day get that dream body of mine.

I spent way too many years hating, shaming and trying to make my body something it may have never became…Because society pushes these beauty standards and YES, I fell prey to them along with the diet mentality.

There are so many women out there that are going through or have gone through what I just explained so I had to put them out there so you know you are not alone.

Body acceptance can be difficult and I get that. We have to realize that we only have one body and even if we are working on it ( making it stronger from the inside out) we have now, is 100% worthy of love, kindness and acceptance without changing a single thing. It's time to stop the war with ourselves!

Breaking free of the diet mentality and societal expectations that you need to be thin to be happy is total FREEDOM!!

As a parent, you are one of the most influential role models in your child's life and can have a positive impact on your child's body image.

What kind of example are you seeing? Is it a negative one or a positive one?

In this episode, I'm coming out with a few tips on how we can set a POSITIVE example for our kids when it comes to body image and weight. With all that is out there in society and social media, our kids are starting to have issues younger and younger and it's time we as parents step in.

Parents can encourage their children to feel good about themselves and their bodies by showing them how it's done and leading by example, so let's talk about how you can set a good example.

******************

I also mentioned a few statistics in this episode and how I recorded a podcast about it so I am attaching that podcast here in the notes. You can listen to it HERE

Let's face it, there are new fitness fads and trends popping up every day. It can feel impossible to figure out if any are truly beneficial for your health, and which fads are nothing more than a waste of time and MONEY.

In this episode, I'm going to be talking about 5 fads that aren't worth your valuable time or cash, and they can even do more harm to your body than good… can I just say that there are WAY more than just 5.

Diet pills, magic shakes, waist trainers, cutting certain foods completely to juice cleanses and detoxes…a LOT of these may be doing us more harm than good.

This is a link to the episode I mentioned in this podcast. Dying to be Thin

Let's talk DIETS for women over 40 in this episode. They say 40 is the new 30, thanks to healthier habits…BUT why are so many of us STILL struggling with weight loss?

What is the BEST diet for women over 40? Is there one? I mean,there's so much info out there and so many diets that you see on the daily so you'd think a few of them would be good for us women in our 40's…RIGHT??

Can you guess what my answer is? Let me just start by saying that your 40s are not the time to try fad diets for quick weight loss. You need a clear plan for long-term health, well-being, weight loss, and weight maintenance.

Both your nutritional needs (food and water) and your metabolism (how fast your body converts food to energy) change as you age. So what worked for you in your 20's and 30's may not work for you now and IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

So let's dive into what the "best diet" is for women in their 40's.
