Losing 100 Pounds with Phit-n-Phat: Real diet talk from someone who defeated a lifetime of obesity and now teaches you.

Episode 093: Atomic Habits

Get the Free Course here: http://phit.click/freecourse   In this week's podcast, I talk about how much I love the book Atomic Habits, by James Clear. I'm all about some personal development y'all, and this book is off the charts. He defines atomic habits as the super small steps you take in order to reach your goal. I've preached this for a while. It's the small steps forward that add up to big wins. We also look into the difference between the goal you set and the system you have in place that makes the goal.  Listen up and I'll tell you all about how to create a system that works for YOU.  

Episode 092: You want to lose weight? Listen up. Here's how.

In today's podcast we help you figure out how BAD you want to lose your weight.   Most anyone with weight to lose has an easy time wishing or hoping they can loss some weight. They look on pinterest for the next best plan, but it's only the folks who are ready to do the work that actually start doing things they don't want to do in order to reach their goal.   When you decide that today's the day and you're ready to do hard things, it's time to commit to what you WILL do that you don't WANT to do, like say no to the cheetos and the extra slice of pizza.       Get the Free Course here: http://phit.click/freecourse   Go here to get on the Waitlist to join the PNPTribe at the next opening: http://phit.click/waitlist  

Episode 091: Defining Failure So You Can Lose Weight

One of my favorite concepts to teach people is failure. In this episode I'm going to show you two different types of failures and how you use them to lose weight.   Escape failures are changing what you do based on a feeling. It's like when you quit following your plan for the day because you overate lunch. it's giving up and hiding.   Worthy failures are recognizing that even though you didn't get the result you wanted, there's something to learn from what happened.    Today we talk to you about how to accept that failure is part of progress.        Get the Free Course here: http://phit.click/freecourse   Go here to get on the Waitlist to join the PNPTribe at the next opening: http://phit.click/waitlist  

Episode 090: How to Stop Failing at Weightloss

I remember crazy diets I tried hoping this would be the one that would work. The Military Diet was my favorite. It had tuna and ice cream on it. You ate this crazy mix of bull shit for three days and then you eat “normally” for four. If I knew how to eat normally I wouldn’t be on the damn Military Diet! That’s the problem with your past diets. They expect you to just wake up on Monday, get your emotional eating shit together and VOILA! You lose weight. We are hosed year after year by the diet industry. This time of year is THE WORST. You are seeing all the ads that promise MAJOR weightloss and this amazing happy life that will be the result of pre-packaged meals and a gym membership. IF YOU DON’T READ ANYTHING ELSE PLEASE READ THIS. They are counting on your desperation to lose weight. They will tell you about pills, shakes, meal plans, and more to convince you that weightloss is fast and easy. What they don’t understand is that when you eat chips and ice cream at 8pm has nothing to do with being hungry. I know back when I weighed 250lbs I ate because I was TIRED and desperately wanted some me time. If you are like me, no shake makes you feel cared for and deserving of quiet time. Pills don’t take away feelings of stress and overwhelm from another day of not getting it all done. I tried these diets and FAILED them time after time. I felt like a failure. If you feel me then know this… All that’s happened is the diet industry has set you up year after year to fail. YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE. Today’s podcast is key. You are going to learn how to release feeling like failure and start believing you can lose your weight. You will love how we take you though a simple process to release the feelings of failure, examine what happened in the past and feel confident about trying to lose weight again. It’s my new years gift to you. Enjoy.   Get the Free Course here: http://phit.click/freecourse Go here to get on the Waitlist to join the PNPTribe at the next opening: http://phit.click/waitlist  

Episode 089: Why do you want to lose weight?

To be hot. To be the 80 year old who twerks and doesn’t throw a hip. To stop the obesity gene in my family. To never need the seat belt extender on an airplane. To say good-bye to Lane Bryant forever. To nag Chris until we’re in our 90’s. These were just a few of my reasons to lose 100lbs. They still feel good to this day, and each reason keeps me focused in maintenance. Finding your why’s and reasons are so important. There are simply times you will want to eat off plan. Pizza on a Friday with your family after a long, hard week will sound AMAZING. Your why’s will need to be stronger than your desire to throw down four slices with a glass of wine. In the podcast you will hear a lot of good why’s you can borrow, how to make your own list and when to use the why’s so you can lose your weight for good.   Get the Free Course here: http://phit.click/freecourse Go here to get on the Waitlist to join the PNPTribe at the next opening: http://phit.click/waitlist

Episode 081: Weightloss Wisdom from our PNP Retreat

A few weeks ago I held a retreat for 130 of my Tribe members. We always start with tears and hugs, and we always end with tears and hugs. But the middle is filled with what I call "pearls of wisdom." Sometimes the pearls come from a Tribe member, and sometimes they come from a coach. And let's be honest, I lay out a few of them myself. We wrote down more than eighty of them during our three days together.

Episode 079: Other Peoples' Opinions

Episode 078: Why You Set Goals

Today's episode is all about goal setting. You know your goal is dead on if it brings up a bunch of bullshit thinking.

To give yourself something to work toward, something to grow by. It's a move forward to achieving things you never dreamed you'd achieve. And if it doesn't feel like ass sometimes, you aren't dreaming big enough.

Episode 075: Waiting For Your Weightloss Efforts To Click

Someone asked me recently "How long does it take for things to click?" You have to start moving in to ACTION in order for things to start happening. Just hanging out waiting, or even just consuming information, doesn't brings things together for you. Not until you try new things, nail some basic concepts, and create some new evidence do your weightloss efforts start to come together and build success. In this podcast, I talk about what happens, or doesn't happen, when you sit around waiting for your weight loss to start feeling easy.   Get the Free Course here: http://phit.click/freecourse Go here to get on the Waitlist to join the PNPTribe at the next opening: http://phit.click/waitlist

Episode 073: Finding The Reason You Want To Lose Weight

I've recently been working with my Tribe on finding out the reason WHY they want to lose weight. It's so important to understand yourself enough to know why you're doing this work and what exactly it is that you want to create in your life. For me, I just want to look great. Others want to be healthy. Some want to play with grandchildren. Finding your WHY helps you remain focused on the person you want to become, especially when you're sitting across the table from your husband eating a pizza. Your WHY doesn't take away cravings, but it does help you remember the decision you want to make in the moment that gets you closer to the person you want to be. In this episode, I talk about why it's so important for find your WHY, and how you go about figuring it out.   Get the Free Course here: http://phit.click/freecourse Go here to get on the Waitlist to join the PNPTribe at the next opening: http://phit.click/waitlist  

Episode 072: Why You Eat When You're Tired

I recently got a comment on my blog from a girl who said she struggles staying on plan when she's tired. She said it's just harder to stay on plan and falls into telling herself she can eat something crappy "just this once." There are a couple of reasons this comes up. You can be just physically tired. When you're physically tired, your thoughts may be like "hey we should eat to keep up our energy!" You could also be emotionally tired and just need a break. We live in an over-stimulating world and sometimes you just have to shut down for a bit. In this podcast we help you identify which one it is for you, how it shows up, and what to do with it to prevent eating when you just don't need to.   Get the Free Course here: http://phit.click/freecourse Go here to get on the Waitlist to join the PNPTribe at the next opening: http://phit.click/waitlist

Episode 070: When Exercise Feels Hard

I had a client ask me recently what to do when exercise feels hard. She wants to be an athlete, but she still has a lot of weight to lose. She works out then is laid up for days. She has the drive and the will, but her body is not quite ready to do what she really wants. This is how I started. I had always wanted to be an athlete. But at 250 pounds and first starting out, all I could do was a 10 minute walk. And that's okay. In this podcast I talk about meeting yourself where you are and leveling up a little at a time. That's exactly what I did. I went from walking 10 minutes at a time to running marathons and power lifting.
