Done with Dieting: Total Health for Women 40+ with Elizabeth Sherman

The feel good sisterhood is a small group coaching program for women who want to lose weight, but are done with dieting. The program takes all of my teachings, tools and resources from my 1:1 coaching & puts it together in a sequential format.

We will be addressing diet, physical activity, and other topics as they pertain to caring for ourselves and the person who we desire to be in the future.

The program will have 3 different aspects to it: weekly coaching calls, a community space for support and accountability between calls, as well as weekly teachings and resources to support your goals.

If you’re a woman in midlife who wants better health without obsessing over weight, you’re in the right place. I’m Elizabeth Sherman, a life and health coach and host of the Total Health in Midlife Podcast.

After coaching hundreds of women, I know the real problem usually isn’t “not enough information” – it’s too much of it, and not knowing where to start. With close to 300 episodes, this show can feel that way too.

To make it easy, I created a free Listener’s Roadmap that helps you figure out which episodes are right for you right now. Tell me what you’re struggling with – low energy, emotional eating, stress, sleep, exercise, or all of the above – and I’ll point you to a curated path of episodes and resources to get you moving.

Its so frustrating when we want to cultivate a new habit - we see other people doing it seamlessly - and yet, for us, it seems elusive. 

Whether it's consistently exercising, going to bed on time, or eating a healthful diet, for all of us, there are just some habits that just don't seem to stick.

Why is that?

Many of us think that we're just not trying hard enough. Or that we're just wired this way. But what if it's neither of those things, and something that we can change?

In this episode, I'll explain the Neuro Linguistic Programming Logical Levels of Change, and how it applies to your health behaviors - and what to do to finally figure out how to get ourselves to stick to those behaviors that we KNOW are good for us.

They say that a goal without a plan is a wish.

When we decide that we want to lose weight, run a 5k, or even something as simple eating healthier, we know what we want, but often, we don't spend the time to figure out how the goal is actually going to get done.

Sometimes, we think about accomplishing something, and although the idea of having that thing is appealing, we don't want to do the work to make it happen.

But when something IS important, something that we really really want, a little bit of forethought can really help to aid in success.

In this episode, you'll learn how to set goals, and then follow through using the obstacles and barriers that perceive to make us successful.

Have you ever had the experience where you've said to a friend, "OMG! I've gained so much weight. I feel so disgusting." and your friend responds with something like, "You shouldn't say that. You're not disgusting. You're beautiful!"?

I mean, we don't necessarily want our friends to agree with a statement like that, but on the other hand, "You're not disgusting. You're beautiful!" feels inauthentic at best.

You may even wonder - I know that this body love/self love thing is something that I need to get behind - so many folks talk about how its helpful to treating myself better - and I know that my self esteem is low. But I really can't get behind the whole "my body is beautiful" thought process.

Maybe my body is the exception to that rule.

Body like, love and acceptance is available to all of us.

We've just been doing it wrong.

In Episode 24 I will explain why affirmations don't work when it comes to strongly held beliefs, and what to do instead. 

And don't worry - you won't have to stand in front of a mirror and say repeatedly, "I love my body"

Over the years, advice on the number of meals you should eat as well as when you should be eating them has changed.

• 3 square meals
• 6 small meals throughout the day
• Intermittent fasting (IF)
• One meal a day (OMAD)

And if you talk to anyone who has lost weight long term, I'm sure that you'll find that the answers for what they do as far as their meals is as varied as their personalities.

One of the most popular questions I get after "What should I be eating?" Is "How many meals should I be eating per day?"

So, if this is a question that you've asked yourself, tune in to episode 23 of the Done with Dieting Podcast.

In the episode, I'll outline the steps to take so that you can tune in to the number of meals that are right for you and your body.

Do you use the power of visualization when it comes to achieving your goals? If you're not, you're missing out.

I've talked about visualization on the podcast before, in a few techniques that I use within my coaching practice, but on episode 22 of the Done with Dieting Podcast, we're talking about the power that visualization has to create your results: Visualizing what's going to happen BEFORE it even happens.

See, we often use our past experiences to determine if we're capable of doing something in the future. (Example: I've made rice before, so I'm relatively confident that I can make risotto.) 

Because weight loss will often take several attempts before we are successful. We often use those past attempts as evidence that weight loss isn't meant for us.

When your confidence and belief that you can be successful in your goal are low, having a vision can help you to pull through.

I used to think that I didn't have any self-discipline. That the desire for whatever it was that I was craving was too strong that I couldn't get over the immediate gratification. 

What I didn't realize was that by giving in to what it was that I wanted in the moment, so that I could be more comfortable mentally, I was giving up what I really wanted - which was to be more comfortable later physically.

See, every decision that we make will cause us to feel pain or discomfort now, or discomfort later.

It was a lesson that I learned when I realized why I procrastinated so much as a younger woman. Why was I doing that? 

I was procrastinating because I was feeling discomfort about doing the thing that I was avoiding doing. As a result, the longer I procrastinated, the worse my discomfort became - until it was super uncomfortable.

Tune in to episode 21 of the Done with Dieting Podcast to change how you look at discomfort & learn how to get discomfort to serve you in your goals.

Today's guest on the Done with Dieting Podcast is a client spotlight: Annie. 

You are going to want to listen to Annie's story because its one that so many of us resonate with: being first aware of our body & how it doesn't fit in in our early teens, followed by years of dieting with some success only to find ourselves inexplicably gaining the weight back - unable to stop it - and then the cycle continues over and over and over again.

When Annie started coaching, she had no solid belief that she would be able to get to her goal and stay there. Listening to her body seemed like a platitude that sounds nice, but what does it actually mean? And the idea that she could sit down in front of a pizza with her family & not want to eat all of it was a pipe dream.

Annie's journey was full of obstacles and barriers - the biggest were her long plateaus - sometimes upwards of 6 weeks! 

But Annie kept her focus - not letting the delays completely derail her progress. And as of the recording of this episode, she's suuuuper close to her goal.

What she realized was that she needed those plateaus in order to grow into the person who is capable of maintaining her weight without food logs, or weighing herself, but rather with trusting herself, and being able to give her body what it needs instead of what her brain wants in the moment.

Tune in to listen to Annie's incredible story of growth within the plateaus.

Resolving to be healthier at the beginning of the year seems to make sense. Doesn't it? It's a new year ... full of possibility … it SEEMS like it would be the perfect time to adopt new habits & break ones that we want to shed.

Although there's no bad time to start the process of getting healthier, in this episode of the Done with Dieting Podcast, you'll learn why there are other times during the year that may yield better results than the new year, how to identify and plan for them. 

Don't get me wrong. Creating better habits is a challenge. But when we reduce the friction & harness the power of the brain, we can make it easier on ourselves.
