Ending the weight loss hopelessness always felt like a search for normal to me. All I wanted was to be “normal” with food.  

I didn’t understand that normal people didn’t eat an entire package of Oreos in one sitting all the damn time.

I felt out of control, and like everyone was different than I was. And they were just a little.

The biggest difference between me and the normal people was that I coped with life using food, and they lived life and dealt with how they felt not using food.

This episode talks about why our search for normal is focused in the wrong place.  

Focusing on normal habits first is such a huge help. But the big issue I see is women want to change it All at once. This doesn’t work. Trying to change a lifetime of habits all at the same time is a recipe for disaster.

This is like my 16 year old “loving the idea” of taking extra classes in high school. She did it! She got special approval to take an extra class. But she also changed from Brick and Mortar school to Online school this year.

Guess what?

Within a week, she was overwhelmed and she withdrew.

This is what we do with weight loss. We try to change all the habits because we “love the idea” of being that healthy person, but within a week we quit.

So let’s take a look at the idea of “normal”, and see how we can move slowly to coping without using food, and how we can do it in a way that we don’t suddenly feel helpless a week into the process.

Playing the weight loss blame game leaves you powerless. In order to lose weight it's important to take back your power and keep yourself focused. This focus set’s you up for weight loss success.

Wanting to lose weight is the dream sooo many women have, and it breaks my heart over and over to hear that they can't because their family won't support them.

It's not our family's job to determine what we eat. In the case of mom's, it's our job to show our families how to eat healthy so they can live healthy. Living a healthy life means being able to participate in all the family fun.  

It’s so hard to sit on the couch and watch our children grow up. I did that with one of my three children. The guilt I feel over the life I missed out on him can’t be made up for the energy and love I can share with his child.  

Reaching ONEderland and getting below 199 on the scale takes commitment. It takes focus and takes changing how we think, feel and act as we make these changes.

One of those changes is taking responsibility for the food we choose to eat. It’s all a choice, and it’s your choice. It’s not your family's choice.

It's time to ditch the weight loss blame game, create healthy habits, and get off the weight loss roller coaster.

Are you showing up to your weight loss with a I'm unstoppable attitude? Or are just showing up with a floppable attitude?

I can guarantee this second attitude, is what my dad would call half-a$$ed. Boy doing anything halfway totally ticked that man off.

But are you sitting there thinking about how bad you want it, but each little bump in the road takes you waaaay off track for days or weeks at a time?

If you were acting as a cheerleader for a friend or your child and they had a bump in the road to something they want how do you respond? Do you encourage them to cry in their soupy icecream, or do you tell them to get back up on that horse and ride it again until they master the task they are working on?

Let's talk about how you can show up unstoppable for your weight loss and why you should!

We can't reach our weight loss goal by punishing ourselves to get skinny or healthy or to lose weight in general.

Reaching your ONEderland weight loss goal and getting below 199 and staying there is a process of learning to love yourself, and creating habits that support your weight loss goal.
