Weight Loss Made Real: How real women lose weight, stop overeating, and find authentic happiness.

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.

This is episode 318. Have you been with me from the beginning? Maybe you just found me and started listening to this latest episode.

Either way, I’m happy you’ve joined me today because we’ll be exploring the answer to a question so many women have: “Why am I still not losing weight?” I keep listening and reading and searching the web. What’s the problem?

Over the years, thousands of women have come to me feeling frustrated and defeated after struggling to lose weight.

They don’t know why all their hard work isn’t paying off, and many of them blame themselves without taking time to figure out what’s really going on.

Are you also stuck in this weight-loss struggle? Today we’re going to get real and look at why, despite your very best efforts, you are still not reaching your weight-loss goals.

When it comes to losing weight, you’ve probably tried everything:

Today you will learn why you’ve been putting time and energy into the wrong thing. And, of course, how to switch gears.

If you’ve lost weight before but are here listening to me now, it’s probably because you’ve slipped and regained some or all of the weight you lost.

So, I’d like to spend today’s session talking with you about what causes backsliding and how to bounce back when it happens.

What causes backsliding? Your weight-loss journey is unique, and so are your challenges. But over the years I’ve noticed some common themes in my Freedom Group and in all the clients I’ve worked with. And that is what we will cover today.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being tolerable and 10 being absolutely miserable, how would you rate your most recent trip to a dressing room? Most women I know would say 10, or even 11!

If your experience also rates high on the misery scale, join me in this coaching session. In today’s session we’ll talk about where your dressing-room agony is coming from, and you’ll learn how to make your next visit a little more pleasant.

Have you ever stood in a department store, your arms full of clothes, debating with yourself about whether it’s worth it to even try them on?

So, let’s talk about some of these reasons, which I think I can sum up by telling you about my past experiences with shopping.

And then, let’s talk about the physical and mental tricks you can use to upgrade the whole shopping experience to make it more bearable. Hey, maybe even pleasant.

See you inside!

Why is saying no to food so hard?

There are lots of reasons why you might think it’s impossible to say no even if you’re not feeling hunger:

And there are lots of feelings that lead you to eat when not hungry.

So I understand why you wouldn’t believe me now when I tell you that it is possible to say “no” to food.

Now just to clarify: When you’re hungry, I do want you to say “yes” to eating. But when you aren’t physically hungry, I do want you to say “no” to eating.

You might also be thinking, How is it possible to say “no” to food that looks and smells delicious? And what if it’s my favorite food? Tempting treats—especially when they’re offered to you unexpectedly—can trip you up, no matter how determined you are to stick to your eating plan.

So in today’s session you’ll learn when and how to say “no thanks” to food when your body isn’t ready for it, and stay steady on your journey to becoming a natural eater. And I hope you’ll get excited about what you’ve accomplished, because it’s big! The more excited you get each time you say no thanks, the faster this will become your new, natural behavior. It won’t be hard anymore. Because you’ll be that much closer to becoming a natural eater. And that is your goal, right?

You can do this! I have faith in you.

I have a question for you: Once you’ve decided that you want to lose your extra weight, how often do you think about it?

Well, here’s my guess: all day. From the time you wake up until you go to bed.

In our session today, we’ll be talking about why this is not the way to go. And you’ll learn how to develop healthy, productive thinking that will help you achieve your goals.

As women, we juggle many responsibilities. There are endless things to keep track of and do and managing it all takes a lot of brain power.

So, when you begin your weight-loss journey, you do need to set aside some extra time and energy to work on your goals. That’s to be expected.

But if you start spending most of your day thinking about your weight, and it’s getting in the way of you living your life, you aren’t doing yourself any favors.

That’s why I’m going to teach you how to rein in your thinking, so you’ll have the time, energy, and confidence you need to make real progress on your journey.
