Episode 099: Acting As If You'll Lose Your Weight

Get the Free Course here: http://phit.click/freecourse    Today we talk about acting as if. You pick the type of person you think you'd like to be, and even if you don't believe you'll ever be that person, you start acting as if you will be.   It's like playing dress up and pretending you're the person you've always dreamed you'd be.   I do this all the time and it's an AMAZING HACK for weightloss. I don't always wake up thinking I'm going to slay the world, but if I decide I'll act as if I'll slay the world, then my day goes a whole lot better than if I act like it's going to suck.   Listen up and learn how to figure out WHO you want to act like, and how to figure out how you're acting right now.

I give you a three step process that shows you how to make sure you'll stick to your diet until you hit goal.

Episode 096: How to make deciding what to eat easy

Get the Free Course here: http://phit.click/freecourse   I am a BOSS lady at making decisions. I see a problem, I look at it for a hot second, and I make a decision.   Some of my clients, however, (Kathy included) take time to "ponder" their decisions.    They worry they'll make the wrong one, they think someone else might question them, they don't know what to pick, and more. This shows up in their plan choices, their food decisions, and their lives in general.   In today's podcast, I break down these thoughts and tell you how to take control of your life and your weight loss by making decisions you can believe in and live with.      

Episode 095: Stop Rewarding Yourself With Food

Get the Free Course here: http://phit.click/freecourse   "I like to reward myself with food. Is that okay?" The answer is NO. In this podcast I teach you why this sets you up for diet disaster. I give you some ideas on better rewards one of which is just learning how to take pride in a job well done!        

Episode 094: How to diet and actually be happy about it

Get the Free Course here: http://phit.click/freecourse   What if you spent each day purposely thinking about your future healthy lifestyle? Yes. I'm talking you at your goal or you 30lbs. from now.   Each day you specifically set aside time to think positively during your car rides, walks, or waiting in line at stores. You dream about the amazing things you will think about, feel and do when you reach your goal.    I'm just going to take a wild guess here and say you spend NON-purposeful time in the brain toilet sometimes.    If you are like me, you don't always bathe in luxurious thoughts. It's more like, "Why can't you get your shit together," type thinking.   People think I'm crazy or bitch and moan at how bull-shitty it is to think amazing things on purpose.   Then, we bitch and moan that we have an inner bully.    Ladies. You want to fix the problem or not? You are going to think. We know that. Let's just start being more deliberate with it so we can get what we want. OUR GOALS!   One of the best things you can do for yourself when it comes to weightloss is to learn how to fill your brain with purposeful, good thoughts.   Guess what? When you do that you squeeze out time for non-purposeful bull shit thoughts. This doesn't mean the old crap goes away. Doing the deliberate, nice talk just means you are at least evening out the playing field.   When you create a goal, you must picture yourself reaching that goal. Let's say you set a goal weight. What do you do at that weight? How do you feel? What do you look like?   Today's podcast dives deep in how to think more about where you are going than hating where you are.   It's a key to weightloss so you better listen up.   I reference the book Atomic Habits. I highly recommend you reading it. Click here to learn more. https://kit.com/phitnphat/books/atomic-habits-an-ea    

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

I don't feel good today. And I tell you all about it in today's podcast. Some of you will be like me and just get mad when you don't feel good. Others will feel sad and just shut down. And a lot of us will turn to food to make us feel better. Today we talk about really noticing your habits when you don't feel well.

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

Have you ever thought about the real reason you won't pull the trigger on a big decision? You think it's because you're worried about what someone else will think or say, when it's actually more about what you're thinking about yourself. In today's episode, we talk about how important it is that you find happiness, excitement, and acceptance from within rather than look for it from the people in your life.

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. When I set a goal, if I don't immediately feel doubt, overwhelm, and fear, I know my goal isn't aggressive enough. And y'all know me! I set a goal and I'm all in. Why do you set a goal? 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.
