Lose Weight For The Last Time

I got to have the MOST fun conversation with Serena Hicks for her podcast, “The Serena Hicks Show”, where she talks about money and our relationship to it. 

We talked a lot about the feminist values that show up in our relationship to both weight and money, so I thought why not release it here so you can hear it, too?

Culture tells us a lot of things to believe about money. Who can have it, how you can get it, what you’re allowed to do with it…

And it’s the same way for our weight. We’re told what we should weigh, what we should think about our weight, and how we need to manage it. 

Body image and money also have the legacy factor in common. What do you want to leave behind for your children? 

What voices do you want them to hear when they’re having a tough time looking at the bank account or in the mirror? 

What values do you want to instill in them now so that as they mature, they have a strong foundation to face whatever obstacles come their way? 

Because as any Yum Mum will tell you, it’s better to lead by example. 

Listen in to our convo and you’ll hear more about:

• Permission to lose weight and to make a lot of money
• How to heal our patterns around weight and money in order to move forward
• The power of learning and progressing in community
• Developing true self-love and self-trust 
• What our energy and emotions have to teach us 

Can you believe March is almost over?? The next round of Yummy Mummy is kicking off SOON, so be sure to get your booty over to learn more about the  April 2024 YMX cohort!

The scale is not the problem.

The scale is actually my favorite for two reasons.

One - it IS actually a pretty good measuring device and helps us to see if we are going where we want to.

Two - it is a mirror into our own thoughts about ourselves. And if you know me, you know how important I think thoughts are.

Once we see these toxic thoughts we can actually clean them up. It is not like by not seeing these thoughts we are not having them, they are still running through our subconscious and creating toxicity around our value, our worth and who we are.

My guess is this episode will break your brain and help you take your power back and stop delegating your mood to the scale! Let me know what you think!

What do you do when you say you aren't going to have the cupcake and then you have the cupcake?

Let me guess.

You either beat yourself up OR you just let yourself off of the hook.

NEWSFLASH: neither of these methods work to create permanent habit change, neither of these work in our quest to lose weight for the last time. What we must do instead is Look Back with Love.

Tune in to hear exactly how to do it. It isn't even that hard and I bet you are doing it in other areas of your life already! I can't wait for you to listen.

The three pillars that hold up everything in your life are how you prioritize your time, money, and your body. It's the dream trio. And when it comes to actually investing in the body you want, our most common excuses are? EXACTLY -- no time, no money.

I got to sit down with Jess, the go-to coach for women business owners who want to master their time, money, and CEO drama. Together, we broke down the relationship between time, money, and body and unpacked exactly how this trio can impact our journey to lose weight for the last time.

After Jess had gotten into a groove with fitness, she had a baby and everything changed. She told herself she no longer had the time or money to invest in creating the body and life she wanted.

That's right about when she realized the importance of her physical fitness and the MAJOR impact it had on her life. She quickly took her excuses off the table and never looked back.

Biggest lesson from our convo? What you do in one pillar of the trio, you're doing in the other pillars, too. MIND. BLOWN.

Listen in and you'll hear more about:

• The relationship between time, money, and your body
• How hard our brains work to create excuses
• Understanding our unhelpful thought patterns and succeeding despite them
• The power of advanced decision-making skills
• Why you should never reassess your goals or plans in the moment

This episode is a really cool double-feature deal because it’s an interview I did over on The 8th House podcast with Caley. Her pod is all about deconditioning and deprogramming to get back to the essence of who we are, and this episode is totally reflective of that vibe. 

When I was still under the programming of diet culture, I didn't give a crap about loving myself. I just wanted to be skinny. 

And most of the Yum Mums I work with feel the same way – at first.

Because what does loving yourself have to do with weight loss? We just want to get on the scale and see the number we want to see. We’re programmed to believe that’s all that matters.

And that’s what diet culture would have you believe until your dying day, so that you keep coming back and keep buying the supplements and exercise programs and pills that inevitably stop working because you’re not going deep enough to fix the root cause.

Fixing the root cause is the only way to lose weight for the last time, which is totally different from regular ol’ weight loss.

Fixing the root cause involves loving yourself enough to care about it. It’s never just about the scale. You can’t hate your body thin. I tried it a million times. It just doesn’t work.

In Yummy Mummy, I basically trick you into loving yourself. I call it weight loss, but really the weight loss is a byproduct of the self-love and self-connection we do inside the program.

But how do we start to untie our worth and value from the scale, WHILE ALSO wanting to lose weight for the last time? That’s exactly what we talk about in this episode. 

Listen in and you’ll hear more about:

• How diet culture hijacks our brain
• The shame around body hate and weight loss
• Figuring out where the weight is really coming from
• Balancing body love with wanting to change
• How to create support physically, mentally, and emotionally

Welcome to episode two in a new series centered around the idea of what makes a good mom!

This concept is so important, because too many of us moms walk around with all these preconceived notions of how we ‘should’ be with our kids. We hold ourselves to impossible standards day in and day out, and it’s so stressful.

Stressful enough that we’re driven to use food to soothe those feelings of inadequacy and frustration.

And then, SO OFTEN, our weight – the physical, mental and emotional weight of our fricking yo-yo diet cycles – gets in the way of our life’s purpose.

And we don’t get to be present for our kids, which I believe is the primary definition of a good mom. 

Yes, in Yummy Mummy we get to lose weight, but more so, we get to fully be with our kids and our friends and our families! Because we’re not up in our head beating ourselves up with guilt or hanging out in the pantry shame-eating. 

So, how do we address these obstacles so we can get down to the root cause of why we overeat? 

That’s exactly what I’m going to touch on in this episode. 

Listen in and you’ll hear more about:

• Defining what a good mom is for yourself
• How societal pressures make it feel like moms can’t win
• Repairing mistakes when you don’t interact with your kids how you wanted
• Making the case for doing B- work as a mom
• Why you need to say no a lot more often
