Have you ever thought you might have a problem with perfectionism in weight loss or maybe even a problem with perfectionism overall?

If you do I understand, I've had the same problem! This is why my very first post I wrote when I began this mind-body weight loss venture on my first website 17 years ago on March 07 2007 was about perfectionism.

Perfectionism can really (really) get in your way if you allow it to. When it comes to weight loss perfectionism can stop you from reaching your goal weight indefinitely. Here's how:

On Tuesday when you're not perfect after already "starting over again on Monday" you tell yourself that since you messed up you may as well just wait until next Monday, 6 days away, to start all over again.

But then the next week when you're not perfect on Wednesday, then what happens when you throw it all out the window to have a food party the rest of the week and start again the next Monday? What happens is that elusive "end goal" stretches further and further out, so far out that you never reach your goal weight because you start over every week due to a lack of perfection.

Have you ever wondered if you might be a last supper eater? Or maybe this is the first you've ever heard of last supper eating? Check out the 3 signs you're a last supper eater in this week's free weight loss podcast, exclusively from The JoLynn Braley Show!

If you do find that you've been engaging in last supper eating then this is an unhealthy eating behavior you're going to want to release. Why? Because it only leads to more weight gain and a deeper pattern of more struggle. Always remember, your brain will make it easy to keep struggling!

The way this works is that whatever you do over and over and over again, your brain is going to make it easy to keep doing the same thing, even if what you're doing over and over and over again is binge eating!

Yep, the thing is, your brain isn't concerned with the fact that you hate yourself because you can't stop overeating; your brain is only concerned that you're alive and surviving.

Surviving certainly isn't thriving though, is it?
Surviving doesn't = happiness. Thriving does!Click To Tweet



Surviving doesn't equal happiness either. And isn't that what you really want: to lose weight, look great in your jeans, and Be Happy with yourself?

Is this true for you? Isn't THIS what you really want?

The key to getting happy with yourself, making weight loss easy, and getting back into your cutest jeans is getting a weight loss mindset.

When you get a weight loss mindset you'll get your brain into gear to help make it easy to live a healthy lifestyle! After all... if you could just live a healthy lifestyle, day after day, meal after meal, eating only healthy foods that allow your body to release the fat, using portion control, eating only when physically hungry, no more binge eating and no more emotional eating.... well, you wouldn't have any problem getting to your goal weight and staying there, correct?!

Of course you wouldn't have a problem. To accomplish the easy way of living a healthy lifestyle though, you want to start with your mindset. A weight loss mindset is 92.8% of the job of making it easy to lose weight and keep it off. Most people are focused only on diet and exercise, which is only 7.2% of the equation. Is it making sense why 95% of dieters fail?

3 Signs You’re a Last Supper Eater [Podcast #133]

Whiny Butt Weight Loss: Let's Get Real 

I know, it might sound funny and you can laugh if you want to but Whiny Butt Weight Loss is a real thing.

How do I know that it's a real thing? Because I've been stuck there before, too!

Why would you want to break free of it? Because whiny butt weight loss is a place where you're not losing weight.

Yep, it's a misnomer. ;-)

If you want to break free of the whiny butt weight loss space then the first step is to Get Real with yourself, which means to get honest with yourself. Fully honest with yourself.



WARNING: this episode is the 136th Get Real episode of The JoLynn Braley Show since its inception in January 2013. You will not like this podcast episode if you are looking for more excuses to make for why you're not losing weight, if you're looking for more people to blame, or you're looking for more reasons to fail.

If you are willing to Get Real then listen in now.
The #1 Sign You're In the Whiny Butt Weight Loss Space Now
The number one sign you're stuck in the Whiny Butt weight loss space right now is....

You're not losing weight and you complain often about unrealistic things related to your overeating or overweight.

For example, if you often complain that, "So and so can eat whatever she wants and not gain weight but if I even look at the foods she eats I immediately put on 5 pounds!" or if you complain that your kids can eat differently than you and they never gain weight.

Or if you complain that your husband eats what he wants and doesn't gain weight but you must eat clean in order to lose weight and feel great.

Maybe it's time to Get Real and accept how your own body works, stop comparing your metabolism to children who have the fastest metabolism, and stop comparing yourself to men who naturally have more muscle and less fat stores and if you really want to lose weight, come out of the whiny butt weight loss attitude and make peace with yourself, your body, and with food.

My podcast episode #595 can help you get real also. Listen to Do You Have to Grow Up to Lose Weight here if you're willing to get totally honest with yourself, which is what getting real is all about.

Why would you even want to Get Real? The only reason to get real with yourself now is if you are committed to losing weight because you will need to get moving now in order to get the weight loss results you seek. Nothing is going to change without solid action followed by consistent action that works.

Whiny Butt Weight Loss: Let’s Get Real [Podcast #598]

If You Want to Lose Weight, Get Over the Hump

Do you have a healthy eating plan that was working for you in the past but you kicked it to the side and are back in your old eating patterns now?

That healthy eating plan you used to follow was helping you lose weight, correct?

If you answered yes to all of the above then this podcast episode is for you. You can lose weight and if you get over the hump you'll be on your way.

Get Over the Hump



You might already know that processed food is loaded sugar, sodium, and all kinds of other ingredients designed to get you hooked so you can't stop eating and will keep coming back for more.

Not only is processed food highly addictive but also it's very successful at contributing to the obesity epidemic. Even with this knowledge however, it's usually not enough to solve your overeating and overweight problems. The emotional and mental ties you have to food can be just as powerful as the physical addiction and then there's the reliance on food to "get you through" your day-to-day life.

I understand because I've been there too with these problems but if you want to lose weight you'll need to commit to change, not only change your eating but also your mindset.

Mindset is 92.8% of the challenge. Diet and exercise is 7.2% of the solution.

The mainstream diet industry only addresses 7.2% of the solution.
If You Want to Lose Weight, Get Over the Hump [Podcast #597]
If you want to lose weight, get over the hump. What is the hump? It's the full third day of you being fully back on your healthy eating plan that you loved following in the past, that healthy eating plan that was working for you.

Get back on it and get through three full days and you will get over the hump. And then give it a full two weeks and you should be back in that flow you were in in the past when you were loving life, losing weight, and feeling great.

I share more on getting over the hump to lose weight in episode #597 of The JoLynn Braley Show. To listen in immediately just scroll down to the audio player on this page located underneath the big pink arrows.

If You Want to Lose Weight, Get Over the Hump [Podcast #597]

Have your cake and lose weight too. 

Is it really possible to eat cake and lose weight too?

Is it really possible to Eat Cake and also Lose Weight?
Is it really possible to eat cake and also lose weight? It is possible but it might not be in the way that you think.



For example, I'm not saying that you can eat store-bought cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and in front of the TV whenever you want and still lose weight. Nope, that is not what I mean.

But it actually is possible to eat cake and still lose weight if you plan ahead, you make it yourself, and you use portion control. It's also possible that you could even eat store-bought cake and lose weight, if you do not have a sugar addiction or are struggling with emotional eating, binge-eating, or compulsive overeating.

Have Your Cake and Lose Weight too [Podcast #596]

Do you have to grow up to lose weight? If you've been struggling for years to lose weight then maybe it's time to get real and ask yourself, "do you have to grow up to lose weight"? This can be a tough question to ask yourself but if it applies and if you're willing to get real with yourself then it can really set you free.

This is a question you'll never hear the mainstream diet industry address because that's not what the mainstream diet industry is for. It's not there to help you get real and lose weight successfully. The mainstream diet industry is fine with you struggling because you'll be their customer for life, unless you do something about it.

What if it's time to grow up to lose weight?

What if it's time to get real and come out of the mindset of baby mentality where instant gratification always rules, and instead grow up to lose weight?

What if you could get real with yourself to get completely honest with yourself, and set yourself free?

WARNING



While this episode of The JoLynn Braley Show is episode number 595 of the show, it's also the 135th Get Real episode of the show. I must warn you that you may not like this podcast.

You will not like this free weight loss podcast episode if you are looking for more excuses to make for why you're not losing weight, or if you're looking for more people to blame for your eating, or if you're looking for more reasons for why you haven't lost weight for good.

If you are willing to get real, which means getting fully honest with yourself, then stick around and listen in.
The #1 Sign You Need to Grow Up to Lose Weight
The number one sign you need to grow up to lose weight can be seen in your grocery cart. Look at the food you have in it. Does it look like you're shopping for a kid but you don't have any kids?

Even if you do have kids, do you eat like a kid rather than eating like a healthy, fit, personally responsible adult woman at your very best weight? HINT: you need to step into that in order to become that. You won't suddenly "get it" once you get to your goal weight number on the scale.
