If you're somebody who...

• Eats more now in case you get hungry later

...then this episode is for you!

This week, I break down the difference between feeling real hunger vs the fear of hunger, how eating out of the fear of hunger could be a major cause of your overeating, and how to start listening to your true hunger signals.

In this episode we're talking about the clean plate club!

Often as children we get taught that we have to finish everything on our plates.

But if we carry this thinking through to adulthood, it can lead to eating more than our bodies really need.

Listen as I share the main causes of being a member of the clean plate club, how to start questioning your beliefs, and how to challenge yourself to stop eating when you're full, not when your plate is empty.

One of the biggest reasons I see for overeating is the need to feel relaxed.

We're conditioned to think that doing more is better.

We think that relaxing is lazy, or selfish, or frivolous.

Then we seek out that feeling of relaxed by enjoying food, or going on holiday...

...but the feeling never lasts long.

In this podcast I talk about how you can create the feeling of real, lasting relaxation in your every day life, every single day, without using food.

Listen now to start putting it into practice!

In the last of this series on understanding the important emotions in weight loss, I talk about feeling clear.

Weight loss can feel so confusing at times

...What should I eat, how much should I eat, why isn't this working, what's wrong with me?

This week, I share how you can stop feeling so confused and give you a simple process for making decisions so you can stay clear on your goal to lose weight for the last time.

The weight loss journey can be tough, and bring about a lot of negative emotion.

Things like failure, negative self image, stress and overwhelm.

This week, I talk through how you can learn to bring more feelings of compassion and calm to your weight loss.

You can use the tools I share in this episode to break the cycle of beating yourself up and overeating and instead take action from a compassionate, calm space.

Continuing on the theme of important emotions, this podcast explores the emotion of being committed in your weight loss journey.

We'll go through...

...What being committed actually means

...The stages of belief

...How being committed relates to being courageous

...Saying no to things

...How to start and stay committed to your weight loss

Curiosity is a skill that absolutely transformed my weight loss journey, and my life.

Listen to this episode to understand how you can start becoming less critical or yourself and instead be more curious...and learn how this skill will help you lose weight for good.

This week, I share my story of discovering I am dyslexic, how it has affected me, and how I have accepted, overcome and embraced the fact that my brain is wired differently to everyone else's.

Whether or not you're dyslexic, these learnings can be applied to whatever difference or flaw you think you may have.

So I urge you to listen, and think about how you can start applying this to your own life today.

Something I've always struggled with, and so many of my clients do too, is saying "no".

We're taught that saying no is rude.

Or selfish.

Or lazy.

But actually, saying no to things that you don't want, or don't serve you is a vital skill to have.

Not just in weight loss, but in creating the calm, fulfilled life that you dream about.

Listen now to understand how this may be showing up for you, and how you can start giving yourself permission to say no...so you can start saying yes to yourself.
