When is avoiding helpful? Pretty much never. Avoiding the scale, avoiding journaling, avoiding ticking off habits, avoiding speaking to someone...whatever it looks like for you, avoiding is a coping mechanism to avoid discomfort (AKA. our own thoughts). Unfortunately, we end up avoiding doing the things that are going to get us the results we want, and we stop doing the real work of facing our thoughts and feelings. When we avoid, we miss the opportunity to learn, grow, and improve. 

Today we're talking about why we avoid, why it's not helpful, and how you can start to work through your patterns of avoidance, particularly in weight loss.

Emotional eating is one of the most common eating habits our clients tell us they want to stop. Often many people eat emotionally without even realising they're doing it! Eating emotionally isn't just eating when you're sad. It's eating when you're bored, tired, stressed, annoyed, or even when you're excited! Unfortunately, if weight loss is your goal then it's essential to get on top of this eating habit.  

In this episode we're discussing what emotional eating is, why it's so common, and how it might be sabotaging your weight loss efforts. We also give you some solid tips to start reducing your emotional eating habit right away, if that's something you want to do.  

We hope this is helpful! :)

Your brain is smart 🤓 It likes to use shortcuts to help you make decisions faster, without having to think too much. These shortcuts are called cognitive biases, and they're a result of our brain interpreting a situation based on our past experience and current beliefs. Unfortunately, sometimes these biases hold us back because we get stuck with limiting beliefs that are no longer serving us. 

This happens most often when we're trying to make big changes in our lives, like when we're losing weight! We can't become our next level self while keeping our old thinking patterns.  

Today we're sharing 3 of the most common cognitive biases that tend to sabotage our weight loss progress. When you can notice them coming up, you get to step in and make a better choice for yourself.  

Which biases can you recognise that come up in your own life?

We used to be BIG journal skeptics...until we realised how awesome journaling is. Writing in a journal can help you think clearer, make sense of your thoughts and feelings, reduce overwhelm, and yes - lose more weight!  

Something we've noticed over the last couple of years is the people who journal the most are the ones who see the best weight loss results. They also feel generally happier and more confident in themselves and their lives!  

We've felt the incredible power of journaling ourselves too, which is why we're excited to share more about it with you today.  

Get your journal out and let's get into it!

Today on the podcast we're chatting about how to make dinners less stressful when you're losing weight!  

Picture this...You're tired after a long day, and now instead of relaxing, you're rushing around trying to prepare a meal for yourself and/or the family... sound familiar? We're often trying to please everyone, while also follow specific rules around what we should eat to lose weight.  It's no wonder we feel stressed about what to cook.  

The key to feeling clear and calm around meal times is to plan ahead and keep it simple. We discuss exactly how you can do this for yourself in this podcast episode.  

Hope it's helpful! :)

You know that feeling, when life gets a bit crazy, and everything seems to be happening at once...? At these times, most of us put our self care and health on the back-burner. We think it makes sense to pick it back up at a later time when life is calmer and we can do it "properly"...

Except this doesn't make sense at all! In doing this, you're building the skill of pausing your goals when things get hard.

There's no perfect time to lose weight, and there is no such thing as a calm life where nothing ever goes wrong. Therefore, it makes sense to start learning how we can keep losing weight, or keep moving towards our goals EVEN WHEN life is crazy. This is a much more valuable skill to have!

In this episode we're talking about a very effective way you can do this, starting right now.

Too many of us are busy doing "ALL the things" but aren't achieving our goals because our focus is in the wrong place! We've been there too, and it's frustrating. That's why, in this episode, we're sharing a strategy to help you get laser focused on 5 major moves that will get you to your goal (without all the wasted time and energy).  

We're sharing the 5 weight loss moves we swear by for ourselves and our clients - if we ONLY had 5 things we could do to guarantee we would lose weight, these would be it!  

Here's what we cover: 

0:00 Why 5 major moves?

Hope this episode is helpful for you :)

Most of us approach things, particularly losing weight, with the mindset of "I'll try, but it probably won't work." But how might you do things differently if you acted as if you couldn't fail?  

This small mindset shift can make a HUGE difference to our results, which is why we're chatting about in today's podcast episode!  

Here's what we cover in this episode:
