Outsmart Overeating

REMINDER: Unstuffed will be temporarily accepting new clients from June 6th through the 9th. Get on the interest list HERE.

 

This week, I'm excited to share the interview of Unstuffed client, Miranda, on her unique experience in the group coaching program.

As you know, no two dieters are the same and we all have different challenges, backgrounds, habits, lifestyles, and emotional eating struggles. Miranda, a former macro-counting dieter with an analytical mind, was kind enough to open up and share some of hers. 

Topics discussed:

 

• Why Miranda, after sitting on the fence, finally decided to join Unstuffed and how it turned out to be exactly what she needed to adopt the mindset and eating habits of a "naturally thin" person.
• Miranda shares that her biggest challenge in the program is perfectionism and what she did to overcome it.
• At what point in the process she witnessed her relationship with food beginning to shift and how she's been able to embrace the timeline and enjoy the process.
• After 10 years of dieting, Miranda talks about why this process "worked" when others never did.
• Her best piece of advice for those who are just getting started on their own journey.

  Thanks again to Miranda for being a lovely guest and sharing her valuable experience.

If you're someone whose background in dieting consists of calorie counting, food scales, and meal plans, taking on a more mindful approach to eating can be scary as hell. We take comfort in the hard data. Instead of allowing our hunger and fullness cues to guide our eating, we turn our focus outward to feel safe and secure in our calorie deficit. Join Coach Steph Miramontes and me on today's episode of the Fat Murder Podcast as we discuss the four stages of weight loss and how to measure progress without the number crunching. And because progress can be hard to measure without the number crunching, it becomes frustrating to not-always be able to tell if you're on the right path. This episode will help you see where you are, understand why you're there, and provide you with some helpful tools to help you keep moving forward. What about you? What stage are you currently on? Where were you three months ago? And where will you be six months from now if you keep practicing?

REMINDER: We've opened the doors to our new 6-week program, Outsmart Overeating! You can catch all of the details HERE.

Once you've come to grips with being an emotional eater, it's important to have a process to begin working through them in a healthy way that doesn't involve stuffing them down with food.

In 17 years of coaching, I've never had a client tell me they're comfortable sitting with their emotions when they surface — their coping mechanism is almost always a distraction; a way to numb or mentally check out through exercise, watching TV, eating, etc.

Because they are unfamiliar with the way the body communicates its needs through emotions, they can feel scary, but they're not. It's the fear of the unknown that makes them uncomfortable.

When we learn to invite emotions into our lives without judgment, we also learn how to make ourselves feel safe and secure.

Emotions are our friends. They aren't always accurate truth tellers, and often don't match the situation that made us feel the way we feel.

This is why observing them without attaching a story or narrative is a life-changing exercise.

Check out this week's episode with Coach Steph Miramontes to learn the steps necessary to help you stop eating your feelings today.

REMINDER: The upcoming workshop with Coach Steph Miramontes, "Train to Your Brain to Eat Like a Naturally Thin Person" is this Wednesday. It's not too late to register. You can check it out HERE.

In this episode, we had the pleasure of interviewing two-time client, Rachael, a registered dietician.

After losing weight using the strategies in 75 Hard, Rachael knew she was barely hanging on by a thread and couldn't maintain the extreme restriction required that caused her to lose the weight.

At one point, her husband expressed concern about her dieting behaviors and feeling backed into a corner, Rachael relented and decided to give up dieting altogether.

As someone who experienced a classic history of yo-yoing with no long-term results to speak of, she decided she'd benefit from the structure and like-minded community offered in the Unstuffed program.

In this episode, Rachael opens up and shares the shame she experienced as a dietician who sought help in the very arena she had received a Master's Degree.

She also shares her first experience in the program and why she later returned for more coaching.

In this week's episode, Rachael shares:

• The biggest challenges she throughout the program and how she's been able to execute the psychological tools she learned to remain consistent in her habits
• Rachael shares why she decided to try hunger directed eating and how the program helped her identify herself as a struggling perfectionist
• What holiday and social eating looks like for her now compared to years previous (hint: no more food anxiety, fear of losing control or feeling left out)
• Rachael's BEST piece of advice for those who fear they'll gain weight if they stop calorie counting and focus on weight loss through behavior change

For more conversations on topics like binge eating, emotional eating, and the all-or-nothing mindset, you can check out previously recorded episodes. If there's a topic you'd like us to cover in an upcoming episode, let us know in the comments below.

This was an awesome client interview and I'm so excited to share it with you! I hope you dig in and find it helpful.

REMINDER: Don't miss the upcoming workshop with Coach Steph Miramontes, "Train to Your Brain to Eat Like a Naturally Thin Person." You can check it out HERE.

Consider what "triggers" you to eat more than your body needs.

It all starts with our thoughts. And our thoughts lead us to a feeling — for better or worse. And these feelings are what drive our actions.

Our actions produce our outcomes. When we take action, we get a result. And when that action is overeating, the result is excess body fat.

This is basic Cognitive Behavioral Psychology and it's what today's episode of the Fat Murder Podcast is all about.

Join us as we discuss how to bring the cycle of overeating to an end.

Are you a busy working Mom who's been struggling to eat whole foods and exercise for over 3 months because you have diet burnout?

And let me guess.

You've probably already tried counting calories, Weight Watchers and Keto, but nothing works?

When we look at "naturally thin" people, they don't count calories, but yet they effortlessly maintain their weight eating everything they want no matter how stressful life gets.

If you want to learn what they're doing, it's important that you start by understanding their inner psychology.

In this episode, we explain how natural eaters think differently from dieters. And it starts with unraveling the 5 biggest lies dieters tell themselves that keep them overeating (and what to do about it).

It's important to understand that transformations happen in the mind long before they happen in the body and that's exactly what we want to show you.

On this week's episode of the Fat Murder Podcast, Coach Steph Miramontes joins me to discuss how in order to permanently lose the weight, you have to lose the dieter's mindset.

Most of the women I've had the pleasure of working with do what all the other dieters do — they practice being overweight and seeking a magical solution.

Instead, you should be practicing what natural eaters do, NOT what overweight women do. I know this is surely not your intention.

You want to lose the weight AND the whole problem.

But if you are approaching it like a dieter, then you are creating more of what you don't want:

• The thoughts of overweight women
• The feelings of overweight women
• The actions of overweight women

….and you are stuck in the struggle.

Of course you're not doing this on purpose. I know it's the opposite of what you want.

If you want to eat and think like a natural eater then you need to stop doing what dieters do, and start doing what natural eaters do.

Join us for the conversation. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how you think a 'natural eater' interacts with the world compared to a dieter?

Think of a child or "naturally thin' friend, colleague or family member. How do they eat? What habits have you observed?
