Thin Thinking Podcast

Go on a diet, lose weight, reach your goal. Voila!

It seems so easy, because that is what the dieting industry would like us to believe.

But here's the thing: if it were that easy we wouldn't struggle as much as we do.

There are six stages that most people who have taken weight off and kept it off long-term, had to go through in order to achieve not just their ideal weight, but long term weight mastery.

The challenge is most people give up just before they are about to enter the next stage.

In today's episode, I will walk you through not just one, not just two, but all six stages. This will help you understand where you are in your process and why you need to keep going!!

Ready to dive in and learn about the six stages to lasting weight loss? Then come on in!

Did you ever think you were overweight growing up–like you were fat and all your friends were thin?

And then, you look back at old pictures of yourself and think, "Wow, I really wasn't fat at all! I wish I could go back in time and tell myself not to be so hard on myself."

This happened to many of us who are children of the skinny-mini 70's, where stick thin was "the look".

Today's Thin Thinking episode, we are joined by Michele Acerra, who grew up in the 60's and 70's, and was exposed to a lot of "the thinner the better" limiting beliefs like many of us.

Michele shares her weight story, her struggles with losing weight at an early age, and how she turned all the pain and failure over the past into success by shifting her mind.

Now, Michele has already released more than 35 pounds just in the last few months, and she is on her way to release more.

Come on in to the Thin Thinking Podcast and get inspired by Michele and her compelling weight release journey.

I am too old to be successful with weight loss.

Weight loss is impossible after menopause.

I have failed too many times to lose weight--it just doesn't work for me.

Many older people who have been dieting a good part of their lives develop deep doubts about their ability to be successful with weight management.

And it creates a subconscious limiting belief for many that may actually be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Well, here is a little ray of sun fact to shine through those dark clouds; the National Weight Registry's study of people who have taken weight off and kept it off shows that older adults are just as capable of releasing weight and keeping it off as younger adults.

The Late Bloomers Success Syndrome is very real!

Today's Thin Thinking podcast episode, we dispel myths that limit your beliefs in your weight loss success journey, and will inspire those of you who have given up to start showing up for yourself instead.

I will also share some Weight Loss Success Stories that will prove that when it comes to releasing weight and wanting to be healthy, age is just a number.

You have every chance of catching the "late bloomers weight release syndrome".

So toss that rocking chair to the side and come on in.

Oscar winning actors have them. Olympic athletes can't win without them. Well, so do weight masters! Weight masters need them too!

What am I talking about??

Did you know that in research studies of people who achieved and sustained long-term weight management over time most of these long term masters cited having a support team on their journey as one of the keys to their success.

There are so many ways the world is set up to sabotage our goals with weight and even people within our lives can easily lead us astray.

So it is important as someone who wants to have a successful and continued weight success journey, to actively seek out a support team, your own Weight Loss Dream Team, that is going to be with you, advising you, guiding you, rooting for you, and supporting you on your journey.

So in today's Thin Thinking podcast, I'm gonna walk you through the key five people you want to fill in your dream team to achieve your weight loss goals.

So grab your contacts database and come on in.

In 2021, the Center for Disease Control reported that over 49% of adults in the US reported trying to lose weight in that year.

Here is the thing, ONLY 5% of them were able to release the weight and keep it off.

Now, was there something wrong with the other 95%? Were they incompetent? Were they social rejects? Did they have a lower IQ or just weren't as savvy at dieting as those shiny, radiant and slim people?

No.

In my 20 plus years of working with people in the area of weight management, I have found that most people who struggle know more about weight loss than their doctors and even many nutritionists or trainers.

So why do very well informed and well intentioned people still struggle to lose weight despite knowing how?

For our second anniversary Thin Thinking Podcast episode, we are going to explore subconscious reasons why you may be still struggling despite your years of weight loss experience.

And I will also give you some doable ways that you can begin to turn this around on the subconscious level.

So come on in to the Thin Thinking Podcast to celebrate 2 years AND to uncover the mystery!

How many days of the week do you dread going to the closet to pick out clothes to wear?

Or maybe you --- like so many other people around the world during pandemic -- have given up on getting dressed at all.

Often--when we are weight challenged-- we have many sizes of clothes in our closet. The smaller sizes taunting us, making us feel bad for not being disciplined enough to wear them. The larger ones mock us even more because they often seem uninspired, drab and frumpy– not who we really want to be or look like.

So how can we shift into a new way of Thin Thinking about how we dress ourselves and give ourselves the permission to look good no matter what size we are wearing?

Today on the Thin Thinking podcast, we are going to explore with my guest expert fashion consultant Ginger Burr on how to get excited about dressing ourselves and expressing who we are with self respect, style, and lots of love, no matter what size we are.

What are you waiting for? Grab your empty hangers and come on in.

I will start this later.

That kind of "put it off" reasoning about projects and things I needed to get done but felt overwhelmed by, defined my life--from weight management to bill paying to organizing my house.

So, what happened? I lived in a state of perpetual chaos and self loathing–never feeling like I was moving forward in my life.

In fact, I was drowning in my own inability to get started or keep going.

If you are experiencing any of the "Get it done later" blues that I am talking about, you are going to love today's Thin Thinking episode where I interview Dr Christine Li–Productivity coach and expert–she is going to discuss the 3 big mistakes that we are making when it comes to being productive.

And some of these mistakes may surprise you!

So grab your to-do list, and come on in. Let's get it done.

A survey conducted by the American Psychological Association in 2020 found that 61% of adults in the United States reported experiencing undesired weight changes due to stress eating.

It makes sense.

Afterall, eating something to calm ourselves down has become a national pastime–so much so I think that the packaging on salty crunchy foods or soft baked sweet treats could be called "comfort food" instead of "snack food"!

For this week's Thin Thinking Episode, you can finally ditch the stress eating, the comfort eating, and the mindless eating because I am going to teach you this one very simple hack. This powerful mindfulness tool will help you tune into with the negative feelings you are feeling, and tune out of the need to reach for food.

So close the cupboard and come on in.

Did you know that getting enough sleep each night is crucial not only for your overall health, but also for maintaining a healthy weight?

In fact, studies have shown that people who consistently get less than seven hours of sleep per night are more likely to be overweight or obese. This may be due in part to the fact that lack of sleep can disrupt hormones that control appetite and metabolism, leading to increased hunger and decreased energy expenditure.

Additionally, when people are sleep-deprived, they may be more likely to make unhealthy food choices and engage in less physical activity. Overall, getting adequate sleep is an important factor in maintaining a healthy weight.

So what can we do to ensure that we're getting the restful sleep we need to maintain a healthy weight?

Join me for today's episode of the Thin Thinking Podcast where my expert guest, Sleep Like a BOSS sleep coach and expert Annika Carrol, dives with me into the subject of sleep and weight and uncovers some surprising insights that just might change the way you think about these two essential aspects of your life.
