Welcome to the 3rd and final episode of our “Saboteurs and Enablers” series. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to come back and listen to part one and part two. In part one I talked about recognizing and coping with Saboteurs, the people who do things to throw off your weight loss game. In part two I did the same thing with Enablers, the people who help you throw off your own game. Today I’ll be talking about what to do if that person is you and you're the one sabotaging and enabling yourself. It’s not bad to admit that this is most of us the majority of the time, so tune in to here more about:

• Eating alone isn’t the problem, it’s the reasons why you’re doing it that can be problematic.
• Making yourself aware of your habits, so you can make a plan of action.
• How you can use the 3A way (full episode on the topic here) to really see and change how you interact with food. 
• Taking a good look at the way you talk to yourself about food and limiting statements or internal dialogues. 

Confronting yourself about your eating behaviors and patterns is hard, but it’s necessary if you want to get a handle on your obesity. Remember to start with small incremental changes where you can! 

As always, keep trying, keep tracking, don’t be intimidated and don’t give up. You’ve totally got this!

Welcome to the 2nd episode of our 3 part series on “Saboteurs and Enablers”. Last week we looked at saboteurs, and if you missed that episode I’d definitely encourage you to go back and listen to it here. Saboteurs are the people who do things to derail your weight loss, while today we’ll be talking about enablers, the people who help YOU derail your weight loss journey on your own. Enablers can be tricky because of how they feel supportive at times when you need it most, so listen in to hear more on:

• How enablers give the permission we’re searching for to take a break and give us someone else to blame.
• The myth and trap that saboteurs are negative while enablers are positive.
• How to deal and approach enablers.
• Taking a look at your role in this and reflecting on your behavior.

If you are interested in learning more about The 3A Way tool that I mentioned, check out my past episode 12 on the topic here!

Tune in next week for the last part in the series! 

In the meantime, keep trying, keep tracking, don’t be intimidated and don’t give up. You’ve totally got this!

Weight loss is already incredibly difficult on your own until you calculate the other people in your life into the mix. This is the first episode in a 3 part series where I’ll be talking about saboteurs and enablers. Today we’ll be focusing on saboteurs, the people who try to throw you off track in this journey. So listen in to hear more on:

• What a saboteur is and how understanding their possible motivations can help how you feel about them.
• Reminding yourself what they are doing is about them, not you.
• Knowing you have choices in how you respond and what you do about it.
• 3 big things your response might be dependent on, and questions you can ask yourself.

At the end of the day, you can only control your own choices in these situations, so taking the time to think about it and have a plan can make all the difference.

If you are interested in learning more about The 3A Way tool that I mentioned, check out my past episode 12 here!

So keep trying, keep tracking, don’t be intimidated and don’t give up. You’ve totally got this!

I cannot tell you how important it is to establish the different concepts between present and mindful eating , but also how they go hand and hand together. When you want to lose weight, it’s not about the food, but changing your whole thought-pattern, interaction and relationship with it, which is what I’ll be covering in today's episode. Being present and mindful now so you can feel more satisfied later! So let’s get into it as we chat about:

• What present vs. mindful eating is and what the major differences are.
• Forming memories for your brain so you can eat less of what you enjoy.
• Biggest tips surrounding the five senses to become present when eating.
• How multitasking while eating can hurt you.
• Paying attention to the conversations with yourself before, during and after you eat.

It will take time, but if you can grasp these concepts in a way that works for you,, you will notice a change!

As always, keep trying, keep tracking, don’t be intimidated and don’t give up. You’ve totally got this!

I don't like rules, especially when it comes to losing an extreme amount of weight. I prefer safety nets - something to keep you from giving up and motivate you to stay on track until you get to that healthy body.

In this episode, I talk about the safety nets you need for extreme weight loss. We'll cover why I believe I'm lucky to be alive, the mindset you need to lose a lot of weight, and why no one deserves to be shamed because of their size.

What You'll Learn:

• Why I don't like weight loss rules
• What safety nets for extreme weight loss are
• The experience of being obese and terribly sick
• Why restrictions don't work in weight loss
• How to use your trauma to help others
• How to talk about obesity in a helpful way
• Why no one deserves to be shamed because of their size
• The problem with encouraging super-obesity
• How to deal with obesity-related depression
• The mindset you need to lose a ton of weight and keep it off

Does anybody else Miss Richard Simmons? Because I sure do. I miss how he made me feel with the 'Sweatin to The Oldies' workout videos. Now, I don't exercise and I don't teach it, but I still miss him and in this episode I’ll explain why. 

You’ll hear how Richard Simmons created a space for people dealing with extreme weight loss when it wasn't a thing like it is now. I'll also share why I believe making overweight people feel worse about themselves when they already feel bad enough is counterproductive and cruel.

What Is Covered:

• Why I miss Richard Simmons
• The harmful effects of fat shaming
• How to set realistic expectations for weight loss
• The war between bariatric surgeries and natural weight loss
• The tough love approach to losing weight 
• Why making fat people feel bad about their weight is counterproductive and cruel
• Compassion for weight loss success
• The challenges overweight people face daily
• Losing weight when you're a picky eater
