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

How often do you struggle with this?

You are offered a piece of chocolate cake. Your mind immediately starts weighing the pros and the cons.

Should you have a little bit of it? Or should you say no?

What will be easier? What will create more of a struggle?

While you know yourself, I wonder if you know what makes this decision easier or harder for you.

The first thing that I want you to look at is your thoughts, of course! If you think ‘one bite and I’m out of control’, that is a hint that you might find it easier to have none than just a little of that chocolate cake.

Your thinking creates your emotions. And if your emotions are deprived and helpless, when thinking about not having a treat, we can look at this and decide what you really want to do.

You’ll learn why having some isn’t better or worse than having none of that tempting food at all. It all depends on what is easier for you. And I’ll show you how to make the whole decision easier.

Are you ready? Will you have a little bit? Or will it be easier to just skip the cake?

Let’s find out!

I used to be totally ruled by the moods of my husband, my two daughters and my friends.

If they were in a good mood, I’d be good. I’d feel relieved and peaceful. But if they weren’t, everything felt up for grabs.

If they were sad, I’d feel sad.

If they were worried, I’d jump right in there on the worry bus with them.

And if they were angry about something, guess who’d be angry too? Me, of course!

Now I have so much more understanding about moods than I used to. I know what creates my own moods. And, I really understand what creates the moods of others around us.

And that’s what I want to share with you today.

Because what you ultimately want to do is to experience your own moods, the good and the bad AND be with someone else and their moods, without running to eat to feel better. This is a step toward ending your emotional eating.

No matter what mood the people around you are in, you have a choice of how you feel. This is our work today.

Join me in this coaching session where we shine the light on moods, especially the moods of those around us.

I know you can relate to this. Let’s face it. We all want to hear what goes on behind the scenes. And the Freedom Group is no exception.

Meet Mary. A lifelong dieter, she has tried just about every eating plan and diet out there. For the past 44 years.

She started early, going from plan to plan and program to program. Always losing weight. But as soon as the programs were done, she went right back to how she used to eat and would always regain her weight.

She was either on a diet or falling off a diet. And along the way, with all the weight lost and gained, she never really learned one big thing: why she overate in the first place.

This cycle of failure made her think that there was something wrong with her. But there wasn’t.

Now Mary knows why she was triggered to overeat and how to stop it. She is much more self-accepting and has more self-confidence.

Social situations used to be a big source of stress, that required lots of planning and worry. No more. She is much more relaxed about her eating in every situation. And no longer stresses about parties and travel and holidays.

The new Mary? She can handle anything. And this is what I wish for you.

Listen in with me as I interview Randy, one of the Freedom Group members. Her story isn’t that different from yours.

After years of dieting and not understanding why those diets didn’t work, Randy has finally found what we all want: freedom!

Randy learned all about the emotions that drove her to eat more than her body needed. She learned that there was nothing wrong with her. She had simply learned to use food to feel better and now knows the real solution to negative emotions.

Did you learn at an early age that it wasn’t okay to express your emotions? This is really common. We’re taught to be ‘good’ as children, and that meant suppressing those strong feelings.

Well, those feelings don’t go away. They hide under the surface and create such discomfort, that we turn to something to feel better. That’s what emotional eating is.

I want you to hear how Randy is dealing with her eating, her emotions and her guilt of taking care of herself so that she can permanently end her eating issues. And the end result? Weight loss of course, because she isn’t eating away her feelings.

But more than the weight loss, she has found the way to finally feel at peace with herself and her life.

And this, my friend, is priceless!

The post Episode 141: Take a Deep Dive for Lasting Change appeared first on Real Weight Loss for Real Women.

In this podcast I’m going to show you how raising your standards in three specific areas of your life will give you what you want: normalized eating, better moods and less stress, and much better self-care. And that combination allows you to feel good – without turning to food – which results in the weight loss you want.

You’ll discover where your standards originally came from, how to know if you have high enough standards for yourself, and how your current standards are affecting your life.

The body and life you have today are a result of your standards. If you want different results, you need to up level your current standards in three areas.

I’ll walk you through the standards my Freedom Group members learn to create for themselves in order to reach their weight loss goals, end their emotional and overeating, and lose the whole struggle for good, once you understand this, I'll help you find the best weight loss treatments from websites like https://www.progressivemedicalcenter.com/therapy-bioidentical-horomones/.

The post Episode 140: Three Ways to Get the Weight Loss You Want appeared first on Real Weight Loss for Real Women.

In this podcast I’ll talk about why saying, “That’s just who I am” after a failure is so harmful to your weight loss success.

If you fail at some part of your weight loss plan and let that derail you, you won’t reach your goal.

You might think, “I’ve failed – again – so I might as well give up” but that isn’t helpful.

But what do you say and do instead?

I’ll show you three very important things to do after a failure instead of saying, “That’s just who I am.” And these three things will make all the difference.

If you want to learn what to do about that fail you just had, listen in.

What you say and do next will be the difference between giving up and reaching your goal.

This is a tough love podcast, where I’m telling you the truth even if it’s hard for you to hear. And the topic is bullying yourself.

How aware are you of your self-talk?

You may think that your self-talk is helping you stay on course. You may think that the way you talk to yourself in your head is necessary to keep you from failing… yet again.

But you would be wrong. In this podcast we’re going to get very familiar with your self-talk and you might be surprised by what you hear.

It is time for some tough love from me, your compassionate coach.

Listen to this podcast to learn what self-bullying is, what happens when you do it consistently, and why it’s not getting you the results you want.

Even more importantly, I’m going to talk to you about putting an end to the bullying once and for all.

If you want different results, it’s time to speak to yourself differently.

The bullying stops now!

Here’s the situation: You’ve already had dinner. You’re not physically hungry. Your body doesn’t need any more food. But you eat anyway. And you have a hard time stopping once you’ve started. Until it’s time for bed.

That’s what I call night-time eating. Eating after your last meal of the day – even though you aren’t hungry.

So why do you eat like this at the end of your day? And how do you start to unravel this behavior?

Join me for this podcast where I’ll give you common situations my listeners experience that lead to night-time eating. We’ll talk about the whole chain of events that lead from a trigger to your overeating after dinner. I’ll show you how to make sense of your specific triggers and what to do about them.

If you struggle with “grazing” from dinner to bedtime, or just plain overeating at dinner and afterwards, listen in and learn how to end your night-time eating.
