The Balanced Approach

You've had a rough night and work feels like it's piling up. Before you know it, you're in the kitchen or nearest shop on the hunt to find some chocolate, crisps or sweets to 'satisfy' your craving and your sudden urge to eat.

Too many of us have lost sight of what it really means to feel hungry and the cues our bodies gives us when we need to eat.

But when it comes to eating food to numb an uncomfortable emotion such as loneliness, boredom or stress, this could be the number one reason you're not reaching your weight loss goal.

Listen to this episode to understand the difference between physical hunger and emotional eating, and the practical ways that you stop in the moment of wanting to eat when you're not actually hungry.

It's not enough to just focus on the outcome goal of losing weight if you want to avoid going on another diet in the near future.

For me, I struggled for YEARS to finally lose over 24 pounds (2 stone in weight) and let go of feeling controlled by binges and emotional eating.

But fast-forward to today, and I've been able to sustain the fat I lost through these three core areas I include in my day-to-day lifestyle.

It's Valentine's Day this week and whether you're celebrating it or not, we could all do with more self-love and self-care in our lives.

In this episode, we dive deeper into how you can start taking the time to include self-love and care that comes more easily in your day to day - bubble baths, boundaries and all!

It's tempting to try and eat perfectly and hit every single workout in your plan. But trying to be perfect in order to reach your goal weight or hit a personal best doesn't always work.

In this episode, I share the personal extremes I went to, to stick to my workout plan, and why imperfect progress really IS a quicker route to achieving the goal you want.

A few years ago, I was the very definition of a 'couch potato'. I'd lay on the sofa for hours, watching TV and eating pre-packaged frozen meals.

I wouldn't have been able to tell you the last time I had planned any exercise, or cooked a healthy, nutritional meal.

But somehow, I did peel myself up from that sofa.

I tried (and fell into a spiral) of several diets. Obsessing over counting every single calorie. Weighing myself four times a day. And restricting my food more and more.

But it was only when I said enough was enough, and I needed to finally learn how to safely, and efficiently lose fat without jeopardising my health or my sanity.

Listen to the episode to hear the full story about my journey from couch to fully qualified Weight Loss Specialist, helping women overcome overeating, and instead, building a sustainable, healthy lifestyle once and for all.
