Today we’re getting raw and personal. If you’re ready for some juicy details, then tune in right now. I’m taking you through all the ups and downs of my weight loss journeys. That’s right, we’re talking about more than one weight loss journey today. Because losing weight is never a one-and-done kind of thing. There’s lots of twists and turns. My adventure even comes with a bikini contest! 

We’ll all try anything once if we think it will help us lose weight. For any dentist who’s ever struggled with their weight, you know how frustrating it can be to lose those pounds and keep them off. I’m sharing my personal journey with weight loss on today’s podcast so you can see that you’re not alone in this. 

Remember when I was talking about over-desire and over-hunger? This was back in Episode 3, but I’m giving a quick refresher today because this desire and this hunger are all contributing to your weight loss roadblocks. Over-hunger is why we’re always starving when we’re on a diet, and over-desire is why we ate that entire box of girl scout cookies for dinner. Both of these emotions are triggered by our hormones that are in charge of digesting our foods. Once you know what they are and where they come from, you can finally tap into a weight loss plan that actually works. 

As you listen to my personal journey today, you’ll probably notice how distracted I was from healthy living. It’s not easy to lose weight, especially when other variables come into play. Growing up poor means not having access to healthier foods, and raising a family and starting a dental practice makes it even harder to find time to exercise and live well.

Having a lot of things on your plate, so to speak, sometimes means health and wellness falls to the wayside. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Life happens. What matters is that you’re here today listening to how you can improve your lifestyle and get back to making healthy living a priority. My life coach techniques will show you any problem and how you can change your reaction to it. And if you’ve been following me, then you know that I do free consults.
