Warrior in Progress™

Have you ever rewarded yourself with food? 

Maybe you worked hard on a project at work or school and got some cupcakes on the way home. 

Maybe you got through a difficult time with a partner, family or friends, and said, "I deserve some cookies after dealing with that!" 

Using food as a reward can be a slippery slope because it reinforces an unhealthy relationship with food which can lead to self-sabotaging the healthy lifestyle we are attempting to create or maintain. 

In this episode, I discuss how changing your relationship with food is a critical key for losing the weight and keeping it off.

Have you ever felt like you know what you need to do but you just can't commit to changing? 

Have you ever felt like you cannot change no matter how hard you try? 

Have you ever felt that in order to see success, you need to be perfect? 

Maybe you have tried many different diets, programs, seminars, and workshops, but still haven't been able to reach your goals. This may have left you feeling frustrated and miserable, and now you believe that you can never achieve your goals. 

Often, we don't know what to do to transform our lives. Alternatively, we think we know how to change for good, but are not consistent with our actions so do not see consistent results. 

In this episode, I discuss how to really change your life for good no matter your life circumstance or previous experiences with attempting to transform.

Have you ever felt like you expect too much from others? 

Have you ever felt that you are constantly let down by others and/or yourself? 

Maybe you tried lowering your expectations, but were still disappointed so decided to have NO expectations. This may have caused you to feel sad and lonely. 

Often, we have unrealistic expectations of ourselves and others as well as things such as our weight loss journey. 

In this episode, I discuss how to set realistic expectations and let go of the outcome.

Have you ever felt that you had no idea how to transform your life and/or that it was not possible for you to transform your own life? 

Maybe you tried committing to changing your eating, adding exercise, and/or treating yourself nicer, but gave up after a short period of time because you got frustrated. 

Often when we try to transform our lives, we set unrealistic expectations. When we cannot possibly live up to these unrealistic expectations, we get frustrated and go back to our self-destructive behaviors. We remain stuck or do even more damage to ourselves mentally and physically. 

In this episode, I discuss the truth about transformation so you can set realistic expectations for your journey.

Have you ever felt that you and/or your life were out of control? 

Often when we feel out of control, we use food, alcohol, drugs, and/or other things to cope. We desperately want to change our self-destructive behaviors, but do not feel that have the power to change and/or we don't know where to start. 

In this episode, Jennifer discusses the keys to regain control of your life.

Have you ever tried to change your lifestyle overnight? 

Maybe you thought you had to be doing several things to be successful such as eating 100% clean, no eating out, no sugar, no carbs, exercising 7 days a week, etc. 

Maybe you committed to so many things. After a period of time, you felt completely overwhelmed so went back to your old habits. 

This type of all or nothing thinking never creates lasting change. Healthy habits are the key to lasting change and transformation. 

In this episode, Jennifer discusses the keys to creating healthy habits so you can achieve your goals.

Have you ever done something "wrong" and automatically were negative with yourself? 

Maybe you told yourself you would not eat out this week but gave into temptation. After the meal, you automatically told yourself that you are a failure, you have no willpower, and/or that this is just who you are and you are destined to be unhealthy. 

This is your inner critic. The inner critic can sabotage us and prevent us from becoming a better version of ourselves. 

In this episode, I discuss the 3 keys to managing your inner critic so you can live life as the best version of yourself.

Have you ever been so paralyzed by your fears that you stayed in your comfort zone and felt stuck? 

Most of us have fears such as fear of judgement, not being good enough, rejection, failing, the unknown, or maybe even fear of succeeding. Fear can hold us back from reaching our full potential and living our lives. 

In this episode, Jennifer discusses how to overcome your fears so you can live life as the best version of yourself.

We begin making changes to our lives. We are motivated and commit for a while. Before we know it, we are self-sabotaging. Then, we beat ourselves up and throw in the towel. We tell ourselves that change is too hard. We are set in our ways and cannot reach our goals. 

In this episode, Jennifer discusses how to stop self-sabotaging so you can reach your goals.

Often, we are motivated at the beginning of the year to make changes, but they never become habits. Jennifer discusses why New Year's Resolutions don't work.
