Episode 58: Learning to embrace the discomfort

Episode Description: In today's episode of the Keep the Weight Off Podcast, Marchelle and I talk about something I have been working on with our Empowered Weight Loss members: the importance of allowing ourselves to feel ALL of our emotions, the good, the bad, and the ugly, all ON PURPOSE.

Why would anyone want to do that? Allow myself to feel angry? Sad? Restless? Jealous? Disappointed? Are you kidding?

Turns out, this is one of the most important keys to lasting weight loss, and a happier life in general!

Tune in to find out why... and how to do it.

Episode Highlights: 5:10 This is why weight loss is so hard because our brains are programmed through evolution to seek pleasure and avoid pain at all costs. This is how we survived.

10:52 So it's time to have a talk with grandma Elda and explain you don't want to accept any more home bake treats. And when you explain your rationale and your reasons, and you're probably gonna to feel really, really uncomfortable setting that boundary. But you're willing to do it because you're willing to feel uncomfortable on purpose.

16:00 And the interesting thing is what you do is you just start writing and you write down all the thoughts that are swirling around in your head. And it's so interesting because once they're out of your brain and onto a piece of paper, you can actually look at them. It's like taking all the stuff out of your closet.
