For so many of the clients I’ve worked with, they are very good at prioritising everyone else and bumping themselves down the bottom of the list. Which is our version 1.0 self.

When you decided to have WLS, it was perhaps the first time ever that you had priortised yourself. It’s the first time that you said - this is about me.  It’s my time. It’s my turn. 

You do all of the things to support this - invest the time, money, and put the work to make your surgery a success.  

But then the old ways can start to sneak back in....listen for more.

This week in my NBT group, we processed some deep blocks on perfectionism and procrastination. 

So many of us strive to be perfect, but it's 1.0 thinking and way of being. 

Perfectionism is a fantasy. 

Learn how to shift the goal to step into your Version 2.0 self.

Next week I have a photoshoot booked which has completely triggered me!!

Whenever you are triggered by something, there is something old behind it. 

Your feelings are old feelings. 

Your fears are old fears and we project these fears and other feelings onto the current situation. 

A trigger isn’t an isolated event.  It’s related to an old event. 

Listen as I share what I learnt about my trigger.

I speak with Amanda Clark, award winning Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian, with over 20 years experience working in bariatric surgery. Amanda has developed a system for more easily serving and eating the right amount of foods after weight loss surgery that we will hear about today.

We are a sum of different parts. 

These parts want to keep you at your 1.0 self. This looks like making 1.0 decisions. Whether that’s sneaking the chocolate in at 9pm at night when everyone’s in bed or you could make decisions or pass up opportunities that could really help you to step into your 2.0 self, but you don’t because one of your parts has talked you out of it.

Because these parts are 1.0 parts.. Meaning that they’ve been with you the whole time, these parts have been in your ear for years, telling you to keep eating, telling you to start tomorrow, telling you what’s the point you’re going to fail anyway. 

We can’t get rid of these parts, but learn how to make decisions in alignment with you 2.0 self!

I see so many WLS patients working with a broken strategy. 

Many WLS believe that the problem is all about control. They start looking externally for the answers in the diets, calorie counting, macros, shakes, diet pills.

But if control really worked then chances are you wouldn’t have needed surgery in the first place. Surgery is not your first rodeo, it’s the last resort.

Learn what is the way to stop the sabotage to make your WLS a success.

I understand that if you have been weighing yourself for many years you can come to rely on regular weigh ins. 

What I find is that when women are addicted to the scales, they are seeing it as a way to keep them in control, and the flip side is, if they don’t weigh themselves they are worried that they will then feel out of control (and therefore, BE out of control with their eating).

However, there are a lot of women who weigh themselves AND feel out of control with their eating and weight. 

That's what we are unpacking today. 

This is a really personal share and I am feeling pretty raw and fragile right now, and there’s things I want to share that I’m sitting with right now that might help someone. 

Last night I learned that a friend’s husband who I really loved died in a sudden and tragic way, leaving behind his gorgeous wife and 2 young boys.  I cried all of last night and I’m still feeling pretty emotional about it all.

None of us have control over life (although we like to think we do) and we need to sometimes navigate tough things.

In this episode I share how to navigate tough times WITHOUT eating your way through it.

You may not think that your emotional eating is helping you, however, I also want to raise your self awareness to understand WHY you are emotionally eating. 

Firstly, any time we continue a behaviour, such as 9pm eating on the couch after the kids are in bed, there’s a benefit. If there was no benefit or payoff, we would stop that behaviour. 

In this episode we dig a bit deeper in this episode to help you to understand how your emotional eating is helping you.
