Hello my friend. Welcome to Weight Loss Made Real, where you will be coached by me on how to stop overeating so you can lose weight for good.

Today we’re continuing part 3 of a 3-part series we started two episodes ago. After 35 years as a master weight loss coach, I’m taking a sabbatical and stepping back from the live part of my coaching practice. That means the Freedom Group is coming to an end.

Over today’s and the last two episodes, I’m sharing the 10 big things I’ve learned from running my business, creating my ETL program within my Freedom Group, and working with 1000’s of women.

We’ve covered lessons 1 – 6 in Episodes 319 and 320, and today we will talk about lessons 7, 8 and 9.

Today we’re continuing Part Two of the three-part series we started last week. After 35 years as a master weight loss coach, I’m stepping back from the live part of my practice. The Freedom Group is ending. So, over these three episodes, I’m sharing the 10 big things I’ve learned from putting my business together, creating my Eat, Think, Love program and working with thousands of women.

On our last episode, 319, we talked about the first three things I’ve learned over the last 35 years that helped me in my life, my business, my own weight loss journey, and also have helped my clients.

So today we’ll talk about the next 3 big things I’ve learned during my 35-year career. Are you ready?

Join me today and learn from my own lessons. Here’s what helped me AND helped my clients through the years.

If you’re listening today, you probably grew up seeing “before and after” photos everywhere: in TV commercials and magazine ads, and now online and on social media.

You know what I’m talking about, right? A pair of photographs, often of a woman. The first shows what she looked like before she started some trendy diet plan. The second shows how she looks as a result of being on that plan.

In the “after” photo, the woman has obviously lost weight. And she’s smiling, so she seems happier.

It seems like she’s transformed—physically, at least. That’s all we know from the photos. But photos don’t tell the whole story. They never do.

Our coaching session today is all about before and after. About you going from a woman who is a habitual overeater, to a woman who is a natural eater. When you make this transformation, your weight reflects that.

So, I hope you’ll keep listening, because the transformation we’ll be talking about is so much deeper than any photo could ever show.

If you’re doing all the right things to stop overeating and lose your extra weight, guess what? You’re still going to fail until you teach your brain to do a new thing.

That doesn’t mean you can’t end your overeating. But when you fail along the way, it tends to diminish your belief in yourself. Your belief that you truly can solve this challenge and become a natural eater.

Join me today so you can learn how important it is to really believe in yourself, even before you reach your goal.

I’m back my friend, with another live coaching session with a Freedom Group member. I know from the feedback I’ve received from listeners that these live sessions are helpful to many of you.

You can relate to the issues these women are being coached on.

And so here we are again, letting you listen in to a real coaching session.

Today I’m talking to Nalida, a FG member. In the past, Nalida was able to lose a significant amount of weight and keep it off for 5 years. But then she got derailed, with an injury and the pandemic, which brought her back to some old, unhelpful eating habits. So today we’re going to explore how she can get back her belief in herself. Her belief that she can conquer this issue and have a permanent solution.

If you have trouble reaching your eating goals, and becoming a natural eater, listen in as we talk about how to get back to believing in yourself….because this is a foundational step if you want to change anything in your life.

If Nalida can do this, so can you.

Have you ever wanted to try something you’ve never done before?

Did you go ahead and try it, or did you talk yourself out of it?

If you talked yourself out of it, I’m guessing you doubted yourself. You had a thought like “I don’t think I can do that.”

And, if you’re like most of us, you’re likely to interpret that thought as a message that says: Stop. Don’t bother. This won’t work.

Today we’re going to talk about what your doubts really mean and what you should do when you feel them.

Most of you have experienced doubt.

It would be unnatural to not have self-doubt, at least sometimes.

So, self-doubt is normal. Doubts about yourself, your abilities, and the outcomes you’re working on. But we don’t want to let self-doubt cause you to stop working on what you really want.

Let’s start by looking at how self-doubt can affect your efforts to stop overeating. And I’ll show you have to work through that doubt so you can reach your goals and become a natural eater.

If you are doing many things better than you did in the past, but you think you just aren’t getting enough traction toward the weight loss you are working on, join me today for another live coaching session all about how to keep going until you get the results you want in all areas of your journey.

Just like in episode 304, where you listened in on a coaching session with Zee, who struggled with a long-held belief that life is hard, and in Episode 306, where I had a session with Gayle, who had trouble leaving food even if she ate enough, today you will listen in while I coach another member of our Freedom Group, Patti.

I think you know that when you work on how you eat, how you think and how you care for yourself, of course you’ll see some progress. But maybe you wish you could see a bigger change in that number on your scale.

You might feel more peaceful, happier, even. And yet you know you could do better in the eating part of the program. This is common.

When we change, it’s not in a nice, neat format and in a straight line going up.

If your habit is making small changes in how you eat, but not enough to give you solid traction, today’s coaching session is for you.

Remember that these are live sessions with me and a member of the freedom group…they are not scripted or planned. And our members most likely don’t have professional microphones. But the content is important for you to hear.

We do these episodes to give you an idea of what coaching is like, and what it might be like for you as a member of the FG.

I also want you to know that whatever your struggle with eating and weight is, you are not alone. And if someone else and get help and conquer their struggle, so can you.

Join me in this coaching session with Patti. See what you can learn. Be sure to listen to the end of the coaching session where I will tell you different ways you can learn more from me. If you are not ready for the Freedom Group, click on the link below these notes and see what I’ve created for you.

Have you ever noticed that you crave different foods depending on the weather or season?

If you’re like me, you gravitate to soups and warm things in the winter and salads and cold, refreshing things in the summer.

Is this desire real? I think so. There are reasons why your body asks you to eat different foods in different seasons.

So why is it hard to get ourselves to make that warm meal? Or take the time to rinse and cut up those veggies for salad in the summer?

Join me today to find out:

Did you ever wonder why you might want different foods during certain seasons or weather?

There are lots of reasons why.

So, what happens when you ignore what your body wants, or put off planning to accommodate getting the foods you really want?

Giving yourself the types of foods you crave in different seasons doesn’t require tons of time, money, or a private chef.

Join me to learn how to read your seasonal cravings, and how to satisfy them.

If you’re a member of the clean plate club, raise your hand. Well, I can’t actually see you so I’m counting on your honesty. If you are a reluctant member of this large club, join me today for a live coaching session all about how to be able to stop eating when you’ve had enough, even if there is food left on your plate.

Just like in episode 304, where you listened in on a coaching session with Zee who struggled with a long-held belief that life is hard, here you will listen in while I coach another member of our Freedom Group, Gayle.

If you are a member of that clean plate club, you might know where this habit came from, just like Gayle did.

Remember that these are live sessions with me and a member…they are not scripted or planned.

But we do this to give you an idea of what coaching is like, and what it might be like for you as a member of the FG.

Let’s dive into this coaching session with Gayle. See what you can learn. Be sure to listen to the end of the coaching session where I will tell you different ways you can learn more from me.

Welcome to episode 304. Today we are going to do something completely different from anything I’ve done in the last 303 episodes.

I’m going to share with you a live coaching session I recently did with Zee, a FG member. In the FG I asked for volunteers to be coached live for this podcast. Zee was one of the first brave women to step up and raise her hand.

This is not an episode with a script or notes or even an outline. It is not an interview. It is me coaching Zee on a topic that she wanted help with. I wanted to share with you what a coaching session is really like, behind the scenes.

So many of you have been faithful listeners for a long time. You’ve heard me talk about all the topics that fall under the categories of Eat, Think and Love.

You’ve heard me talk about all these things that I teach and share in the Freedom Group. And one of the ways we do that is by having several live coaching calls each month with myself and my team.

What I realized recently is that most people have no idea what coaching is like. Who does what? What do people say? Is it hard? Is it embarrassing? Does it feel good? What do you get out of it?

These questions and so many more ran through my mind as I put myself in your position, as a woman who may never have worked with a coach and really has no idea what it would be like.

So this is the ultimate share. Zee and I are sharing a session we did very recently about a theme that runs through her life, and how to change it.

I have several more of these live coaching podcasts planned for you in the very near future. So stay tuned.

Remember, some of our members ask to be coached, and many simply listen and learn from hearing and watching a fellow member being coached. Our struggles are so similar that just doing that can help you tremendously.

See if you can imagine doing this yourself. Allowing yourself to look at your life, your eating, your habits, with the guidance of a compassionate coach. And imagine what your results could be.

So thank you in advance to Zee for stepping up and sharing her story with you and thank you for being here and listening and considering taking that next step to learn how to change what you want to change.

Listen to the end of the coaching session where I will tell you different ways you can learn more from me.
