Are you a liar? Chances are you are guilty of lying to yourself about something. But what about your health? Do you ever try to convince yourself that you are too tired? This week we talk all about the lies we tell ourselves that negatively impacted our health. Things like we can eat what we want because we train, I earned this, I just need to get through this, I'm ok, this will make me feel better and there must be something wrong with me.

Think Fit Episode 84: The Lies We Tell Ourselves Which Impact Our Health

Think Fit is a podcast hosted by Tim Ford and Mike 'Robo' Robinson who have lost a combined weight of nearly 100kgs! We want to cut through the confusion and make people realise there isn't a secret to weight loss. That doesn't mean it has to be hard either. We will share stories based on our experiences. What worked, what doesn't and hopefully have some fun doing so. So if you are sick of all the confusion about losing weight and getting fit then tune in!

Imposter Syndrome. This is something that we have both experienced but maybe never been able to put a name to. We talk about the times where we have convinced ourselves that we are not good enough or that we have achieved something by luck. We look at the times we have noticed other people doing this around us and then we brainstorm the ways we think people can help manage these feelings.

Big shout out to Laura Johnston for providing the inspiration for this week's discussion.

Think Fit Episode 120: Imposter Syndrome

We all know the saying you can't outrun a bad diet but does that mean it is the most important thing when it comes to losing weight and being healthy?
This week we look at the pros and cons of each and give our thoughts on which are the most important and why. The answer might surprises you (or not because it is always going to be about balance.)

But we do look at the reasons why each of these are important and how a thorough understanding of them will enable you to lose weight quicker and keep it off!

Think Fit Episode 119: What is More Important? Diet, Cardio or Strength Training?

Team this episode is a goodie! With Tim in Canada we decided to share an episode which has by far had a tremendous impact on us both individually but also how we try to highlight the importance of self reflection and building strategise We were extremely lucky to be joined by Bevan James Eyles this week for one of the most engaging, entertaining and informative discussions we have ever been a part of (we weren't the funny, informative or engaging part.) We discussed the importance of identifying strategies to set yourself up for success, how to make sure you learn from your mistakes and not let them define you. We have an in-depth discussion about the power of optimism and how it can lead to a healthier life as well as so much more. Honestly! This is not an attempt to get you to listen to the episode! It genuinely was just a great episode to record. Years ago Bevan started to go overboard with both drugs and alcohol until he woke up one day and didn't like who he was. He turned his life around and became not only an incredible athlete but is Internationally recognised as one of the best minds in fitness and has helped countless people to overcome their own barriers and make successful change in all aspects of their life. We are very proud to present this episode for you to listen to and we hope you get as much out of it as we did recording it.

Think Fit Episode 118: Using Your Mind to Successfully Make Positive Change with Bevan James Eyles

So Robo wanted to talk about time (again) without realising that he brought up the same topic only a few episodes ago so instead we talk about how to ensure you are set up to use the time that you do have available. 

We look at being realistic with yourself, understanding that there is often more time that goes into something like a one hour run than just an hour and getting your family on board. There is as always, good stuff here for people who are struggling to make a healthy change.

Think Fit Episode 117: Setting Yourself Up With What You Have Available

It is all too easy to beat yourself up when you miss a gym session or grab a sneaky mac attack on your way home. These little missteps can often lead to feelings of failure or needing to 'reset' next Monday. We want to emphasise that losing weight isn't as simple as a pass/fail and that by approaching it that way we can often derail our best efforts and set ourselves back. We look at the need to accept our own limitations and the need to accept that slip-ups or failure are actually just part of the process.
