"You've lost weight!"

"Don't you think you should probably lose a little weight?"

"Those pants are looking a little snug."

Ever heard any of these things from someone you care about?

People do people-y things. I think we can all agree that they are always going to talk. And sometimes they are even going to talk about your appearance. This is especially true for those who are close to us. They might have lots of comments about your weight, your body, your weight loss, your efforts, what you're wearing, or how your body looks.

But you do not have to let their comments affect you. If their comments about your weight loss bother you, then you need to create boundaries around the topic. Let's talk about how to do just that in episode 55 of the Unf*ck Your Weight Loss Podcast now!

How many times have you lost weight only to gain it all back? Maybe even gained back a little more than you lost? It's a gut punch when that happens, am I right? I'm guessing that you are here because you want to lose weight and/or you want to keep the weight off. Truthfully, you want to probably do both. And if that's the case, then there are some things that you need to look at for the big picture. In this episode, I'm giving you my top 7 things you need to consider to lose weight and keep it off. They may not all ring true for you. But they are all something that you need to think about and consider.

It's time to stop gaining weight back, stop the yo-yo dieting, stop the merry-go-round, and stop this horrible ride. It's time to really be honest and confront some truths.

Let's get into it in Episode 54 now.

Your worth is not connected to your weight. There I said it. I know it's easy to feel that way, but it doesn't have to. In order to not feel like your worthiness is connected to your weight, I think that we have to become really aware of exactly what it is that we want. Who we want to be. Then take action from the place of where and/or who you want to be creating. Your new leveled-up self-concept.

This is especially true if you not only want to lose weight but also keep it off forever and ever.

Sometimes, when we think about self-concept, we get this little nagging voice in our head that says we're not worthy. That we aren't good enough.

But I am here to tell you that you ARE WORTHY.

YOU ARE 100% WORTHY ALL DAY EVERY DAY.

If you struggle with your self-worth, that's okay. It is totally normal. Almost everyone does at some point in time. But you do have the ability to let that shit go.

Let's jump right into worthiness and weight loss on episode 53 of the Unf*ck Your Weight Loss Podcast now!

You have the power to get back in the driver's seat when it comes to hormone balance and weight loss. And I can show you how. I think we tend to feel like our hormones are out of our control or outside of our ability to manage the changes happening. The changes could be from the aging process (perimenopause or menopause), stress, illness, or an injury.  Truthfully, there are so many things that can go wrong with your hormones.

Achieving hormone balance can feel like trying to hit that specific number on a scale. It can feel like trying to hit the bullseye playing darts. It feels nearly impossible. We can do all the things. We can walk, sleep, drink all the water, and we can even do it very consistently, but still not get the results we want.

Sometimes doing all of these things simply will not be enough. There could be the possibility that how you are approaching your weight loss, your health, and your hormone balance may not be quite on track. But it doesn't have to stay this way.

Let's jump right into figuring out how to get your hormones and weight loss on track in episode 52 of the Unf*ck Your Weight Loss Podcast now!

Do you truly know how many hormones are involved in weight loss?

The answer is....A LOT!

I've worked with 1000's, maybe even 10's of 1000's of women over the last 20-25 years in the health and fitness industry. The majority of my clients right now are, of course, in their 40s and 50s. That means that hormones, especially those associated with menopause, are a part of our conversation around weight loss.

Here's a news flash in case you didn't already know, your hormones can go sideways at any age.

There are a million reasons why our hormones could not be ideal for weight loss. And I'm not going to lie...hormones are complex, to say the least. So I'm not going to go all deep sciency into every single hormone and the role it plays in weight loss.

But let's jump right in and start trying to figure out hormones and weight loss in episode 51 of the Unf*ck Your Weight Loss podcast now!

Newsflash...dieting does not make you feel restricted or deprived. Read that again. The words diet or dieting doesn't do anything to you...because they can't. They are just words. The thoughts and feelings you have associated with those words are the problem. That's what tends to leave us feeling restricted or deprived. That's good news because thoughts are not permanent. Thoughts are just sentences in our heads. And here's the beautiful part...we can actually address them. We can change the thoughts we have around dieting and losing weight permanently.

Let's discuss how and why we feel restricted and deprived by our diets in episode 50 of the Unf*ck Your Weight Loss Podcast, now.

Do you know exactly what you want when it comes to weight loss? If you don't...you need to. You need to write it down. Get really clear about it. Be specific.

In this weight loss journey, you are the only person that can save you. You are in the driver's seat. You are the architect. You have to figure out what weight loss looks like for you.

You also have to get motivated. You can't wait for motivation to hit. You get motivated by taking action right now.

I recently made a 5-part video series for my coaching clients called "How to Lose Weight." These videos are about 10 minutes long and were made to be easy to consume without being overwhelming. Each shows a different angle about weight loss, but they all kind of come back down to food.

I want to share with you a few of the nuggets from these videos. I believe that they will help you to become more clear about your journey, hop into the driver's seat, and be motivated.

Raise your hand if you have ever lost weight. Now...keep your hand up in the air if you've ever gained back the weight you lost. Is your hand still up? I thought so, mine too.

Would you like to know how many people keep the weight off? It's not that good...97%! That means that only 3% of people lose weight and then keep that weight off. Everybody is literally trying to figure out weight loss. Asking things like:

But yet here we stand with 97% of people gaining back the weight that they lose. Well, you know me. I'm not one to back down. So I'm just not going to stand for it. Let's talk about how you can lose weight and keep it off in episode 48 of Unf*ck Your Weight Loss now!

Is your "summer bod" ready? Summer is right around the corner. It's beautiful outside! The grass is green and the flowers are blooming. But all you can worry about is the fact that bathing suits and shorts season is looming around the corner.

Rather than spending all summer wearing a sweater, why don't we work on feeling good NOW?

Dieting is very surface-level. It's comfortable, and it's familiar. It leaves us in this cycle of always chasing a number, a size, or a feeling. You are quite simply just chasing the thrill.

But...

If you want to lose weight PERMANENTLY, you need to go deeper and make some decisions about who you want to be and get to work. Rule #1 of permanent weight loss- No matter where you are in your journey, you're always going to work on yourself. Rule #2 of permanent weight loss- Learn how to implement flexible eating.

Let's get into all this and more in episode 47 of Unf*ck Your Weight Loss NOW!

Listen to me...F*ck the scale. No seriously...f*ck it. You don't need a scale to lose weight. It is nothing more than an inanimate object that weighs you. And it weighs all of you, not just your fat. It weighs your muscle, your fat, your bones, your hair, your skin, your clothes.......everything.

What it says also changes at any given moment. Different times of day, week, or year will all weigh differently. Weighing in the morning will be different than at night, and so on. It can also change based on so many different factors including hormones and water weight. The scale is quite simply an unreliable tool that leaves us with unrealistic expectations. We aren't going to hit a certain number on the scale and solve all of our problems. We won't win a prize.

So since we are giving the scale a big middle finger...

Let's look at some other ways we can track our progress and reach our goals in episode 46 of Unf*ck Your Weight Loss, now!
