A few more questions today... I heard you ask someone if the goal they were using to motivate them was adding more stress or not. The persons answer for them was it wasn’t. I feel like my goal is stressing me slightly. Like what if it comes and I haven’t reached the goal I’ve been wanting? How can I reframe this so it’s not stressful. My goal was to lose my weight by my bday. Maybe I should get coached:) Hi, you post about you’re sleep a lot and I’m honestly jealous! Any tips for falling asleep and staying asleep?

They explore how these thoughts, often disguised as rhetorical questions, can lead to a cycle of overeating and disappointment.

She provides strategies for breaking the pattern, including setting reminders, bringing awareness to your habits, and challenging the lies you tell yourself.

231 - Why Your Brain Justifies Overeating (And How to Stop)

In this episode, Maggie and Ryan discuss what to do when the number on the scale isn't moving. They explain that the real reason most people aren't losing weight is because they are overeating, often in small ways they may not even realize. Instead of drastically cutting calories or eliminating food groups, they recommend focusing on reducing the extra snacks and unintentional eating outside of meals. By paying attention to hunger cues and planning ahead, you can identify and reduce the overeating that is preventing weight loss.

230 - What To Change When The Scale Isn't Going Down

In this episode, we discuss the importance of slowing down and tuning into your body's signals when trying to lose weight. Your habit brain may be telling you to react quickly and eat, but your higher brain knows what you truly want. To listen to your higher brain, create pauses between urges and actions, and consider tools like timers, reminders, or journal prompts. Recognize that the work may feel challenging at first, but gets easier with practice. Finally, regulating your nervous system through exercises like deep breathing or walking can help you better connect with your higher brain and reach your goals.

229 - Tips For Listening To Your Higher Brain Over Your Habit Brain

In this episode, Maggie discusses the concept of creating mental guardrails to help with weight loss, particularly when trying to lose the last 5-10 pounds. She emphasizes the importance of finding strong internal motivation and reasons for wanting to lose weight, as external motivators like upcoming events are often not sustainable. Maggie also explores the idea that having a small weight range can lead to more negotiation and overeat ing, as the consequences don't seem as significant. She encourages listeners to decide whether they are content with their current weight range or if they truly want to push for the last few pounds, and to set up their own mental guardrails accordingly.
