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

Today I’d like you to hear Julie’s story, from a very young age to now being close to 50 and all that she went through to achieve a true transformation.

She started with me as a private client, and then as a Freedom Group member, and finally as Freedom Group team member, who is a mentor to our members.

Julie has been where you are, so she is wonderfully aware and compassionate.

I want you to hear her inspiring story and see if you can get inspired yourself, and start believing what I believe, and that is, if anyone can do this, can lose weight if that is what you want to do, AND to lose the whole struggle around it, then you can too.

I’ve created a 4-part video training because it is time to UNLOCK THE SECRET to end your emotional eating and lose weight permanently. Let me show you how.

How often do you catch yourself saying, “Help! I just don’t know what to do”?

If you are anything like the women I work with, this is a very common thought for you.

You may think it’s innocent. And you may think it’s the truth!

You think: But really, Cookie, I truly don’t know what to do! I don’t know how to solve this problem!

I know you believe that thought. But I am here to give you some tough love. And that means a strong dose of truth.

You DO know what to do. But your brain is in the habit of giving up, giving in, and marching in place, not getting anywhere.

If you constantly lapse into the ‘I don’t know what to do’ thought, we need to talk.

So, get comfy and get ready to get a loving dose of tough love from me, your Coach Cookie.

Let’s do this, my friend!

What if you didn’t have to struggle with eating, with your weight, with dieting?

You don’t have to struggle if you learn how to view these struggles as simple problems to be solved.

That’s what we’re going to talk about today.

We’re going to outline how to solve the weight loss-related challenges that I help my clients deal with all the time in the Freedom Group.

Is your struggle not having confidence in yourself? You just don’t believe you can conquer this?

Or maybe you have a habit of indulging in end-of-the-day eating? And you just can’t see another choice in the moment.

Is feeling overwhelmed holding you back? What do you do first? So many choices, right?

Or stress eating! I’ll bet you’re no stranger to using food to deal with all kinds of life stress.

Do you slip and not know how to get up? Or maybe your issue is not knowing how to keep your promises to yourself.

This is what we will talk about in our coaching session today. I hope you join me.

We’re in a worldwide crisis that we all need to be aware of and doing what we can to avoid and prevent the spread of this virus.

Some of you are using this time to take care of yourself but some of you are reacting to the threat out there, and maybe it’s close to home for you. Maybe you have been sick yourself and maybe you know people who have been sick.

Are you reacting to it with stress? Your old habit might be to be a stress eater. You feel it, you’re uncomfortable, and you grab something in that moment.

A hallmark of this is either you’re eating when you are not physically hungry, or you start off hungry and then you stop paying attention to your body and you just keep eating.

And so now in the middle of a worldwide crisis your old habit wakes up and comes to life, signaling to you to eat often when you are stressed and not hungry.

You might be taking breaks from your Project You because you’re telling yourself you’re tired of thinking about the whole subject. Or you are bored with the subject of weight and food and eating.

Some signs of boredom you might be experiencing: believing that thinking about food will lead you to overeat, tired of planning what you will eat, tired of thinking about the fact that you need to eat several times during the day, tired of the whole subject, thinking you’ve been working on this long enough and if you don’t have the results you want, and you want to pause and take a break.

And we know what taking a break means, right? Eating whenever, whatever.

These things feel like they just happen. You wake up and you just follow these patterns. Whatever pattern you follow is what creates your end result.

I want to help you reframe this issue of being tired or bored with the whole subject because this is what you need help with.

You can’t figure out why you aren’t making progress with your weight loss goals and you keep slipping into old behaviors.

You see what you are doing but can’t stop. This is because you are thinking the same old thoughts.

You need new thoughts. I’m going to give you some of the thoughts I use for myself and my Freedom Group members that you can borrow until they become natural for you.

We are going to look at a few thoughts that I invite you to try for yourself. I’ll help you see where these thoughts can lead you and what your results might be.

Change comes from practicing new thoughts that give you what you want, until they become your own. Until they just become what you do on a regular basis.

When things are uncertain, we will do almost anything to create more certainty.

Right now, we are in flux in so many areas and it’s natural that you want to know what is happening.

Whether it’s the virus, or the state of our nation in the US, other people’s actions or your own… so much is going on. In weight loss, we try to control what we do, thinking it will help us get what we want.

Here’s what we will cover today:

I’m going to give you a new way of looking at control and give you some new ways to think about it.

I’ll also show you how you can be in charge of yourself and what you can control, without holding on for dear life and feeling stressed and pressured all the time.

You know what result you want. You want to lose weight. You want to stop starting over again and again. You definitely want to stop hating yourself.

So first, you clarify what you want and then you figure out what to do. You look for a diet or a program or a philosophy and then you start.

But if this is what you do, you are forgetting one big important thing: your decision. 

Not your decision to lose weight. You make that decision every morning and every evening. You think about it constantly and beat yourself up for not following the steps you’ve chosen, and you do this over and over.

What is missing is your decision to do what it takes and that means your commitment. Not just when it’s easy but to do what it takes until you get what you want.

You decide, then you commit. And then you get all your thoughts and feelings lined up so that you can do what it takes to get what you want.
