  • Episode 44: Do You Think Weight Loss is TOO Hard?

    When was the last time you caught yourself saying, “This is just too hard!”?

    When you’re changing your eating to eat naturally and get to a comfortable weight, there will be challenges.

    There will be roadblocks. But finding your way around the roadblocks is your work.

    It’s necessary and helps you grow.

    Here’s what we’ll cover in your coaching session today:

    • How do you define something as ‘hard’?
    • What goes on in your mind when you think something is TOO hard?
    • Understand how and why continually thinking things are too hard will keep you stuck exactly where you are.
    • I know this is hard to believe, but hard is good, and I will show you why.
    • How can you reframe ‘hard’?
    • Learn to manage your mind to deal with and even welcome challenges.
    • Can you think of a time you got through something challenging? How did you feel afterwards?
    • What is the key phrase you can use to feel good when you have a challenge, even if you don’t know how to move forward in the moment?
    • Join me today in your coaching session about doing hard things. If you want anything different than you have at this moment, then hard is on the menu. Let’s get you ready for it.

    • Episode 43: Emotional Eating: Why You Need to Feel ALL Your Feelings

      Are you selective about what you let yourself feel? I’m talking about your emotions.

      Sad, happy, worried, angry or lonely. The good and the bad.

      Do you distract yourself from an uncomfortable feeling by eating? When you do that, you avoid a feeling and add some extra pounds to your body.

      Join me today in this coaching session and you’ll learn:

      • What a feeling is and how it’s created.
      • What your thoughts have to do with your feelings.
      • Why you may have learned to avoid any negative emotion.
      • And speaking of painful emotions, are they clean pain from the nature of being alive? Or are they feelings made much worse by the stories you tell yourself?
      • It’s important to allow yourself to feel the natural, unavoidable pain of being alive. Here’s why.
      • Do you know what happens when you avoid your negative feelings?
      • And, what happens when you allow yourself to feel everything?
      • And finally, how to do it. How to feel everything and survive.
      • Managing your emotional life is a sign of being an adult. You can do this. And when you learn to do this, there is nothing to run from, and you will lose the drive to eat when you aren’t hungry.

        I will see you in the session!

      • Episode 42: Stop Your Stress Eating, Part 2

        I’m back with part 2 of Stress Eating, to help you disconnect your stressful emotions from eating without hunger.

        If you listened to Episode 40, you’ll remember that we talked about your stress eating.

        We defined it, looked at the mind-body connection and really pinpointed how it shows up in your life.

        Now, we’re going to unravel exactly what to do to break the connection between emotions and eating.

        Today, in your coaching session, we will cover:

        • What your thoughts are that lead to stress.
        • What the effects might be if you don’t learn how to disconnect stress from eating.
        • How to deal with the experience of stress in the moment, and not eat.
        • Stepping back, looking at your thoughts, the cause of your stress.
        • And, rising above and seeing the big picture. How to create a life where stress is minimized, and you learn to manage your emotions on a daily basis without eating.
        • I hope you join me for this revealing coaching session!

        • Episode 41: Weight Loss and the Working Woman

          Are you a woman who works? Maybe you work managing your family, from morning until night. Or perhaps you’re a working woman in an office setting, employed by a company.

          Either way, join the ranks. You’re a working woman.

          And having seen this in many of my private clients, I would guess there is a real disconnect between who you are all day long, and who you become at night.

          Do you hold all things together all day long, only to lapse into emotional eating at the end of the day?

          Let me ask you these questions:

          Are you aware of the many admirable traits you possess, operating in the world and solving problems all day long?

          Have you ever thought about why you’re able to do this and then come home and feel helpless around food at night?

          Let me show you a simple perspective shift. I want you to see your skills and use those skills to solve your own personal problem: emotional eating.

          • I will coach you and show you how your day differs from your night.
          • What you’re not seeing about yourself.
          • Why you don’t use your problem solving skills on yourself personally.
          • How to view your emotional eating as a simple project to be taken care of.
          • How to ace this project.
          • What creates the perfect storm in the evening.
          • And what to focus on for the next week.
          • Together we can figure this out.

            I will see you in the coaching session.

          • Episode 40: Why You Overeat When You’re Stressed

            If you’re alive, you have stress. If you have a job, some friends, or maybe some obligations, you have stress.

            We all have stress in some form or another, and yet we don’t all eat in reaction to it.

            Today, I’m going to talk to you about stress and your eating. Or, your overeating, that is.

            Do you even know exactly what stress is?

            Let’s talk about it and I will show you:

            • What stress is.
            • How it shows up in your life, in your mind and your body.
            • Why you might overeat when you’re feeling stressed.
            • How eating got connected with your moods.
            • What exactly is the mind-body connection?
            • Does eating help you when you’re stressed?
            • Why do some people eat from stress while others lose their appetites?
            • Do you know what your stress eating patterns are?
            • How to stop the habit of overeating when life is too much.
            • Is the goal to eliminate all stress from your life? (Hint: no.)
            • So we’re going to take a look at what you do when life feels like too much to deal with and the feeling of overwhelm is high.

              Is eating inevitable? No.

              Join me in this coaching session to learn to recognize your own stress eating patterns and start the process of disconnecting food from mood.

              I’ll see you in the session.

            • Episode 39: What to Do When You Feel Like Quitting

              Let’s face it. You’ve probably given up on your eating and weight goals a few times. Or maybe more than a few times.

              You may be intimate friends with the art of giving up. Quitting. Walking away.

              And when you do that, your goals remain a distant dream that you never quite achieve.

              That’s why today, I’m going to coach you on quitting, and how to be prepared for those unwanted suggestions to drop what you’ve been attempting.

              Here’s what we’ll cover in today’s coaching session:

              • What it looks and feels like when you think it’s time to quit and give up.
              • Why is this happening? Again!!
              • What if you believed that quitting was not an option? How would that make your outcome different?
              • If quitting isn’t an option, what are your options?
              • Is past failure evidence that you just can’t do this?
              • What should you do when you get those familiar urges to just give up?
              • Step by step plans to conquer the thoughts of stopping and walking away from your goals.
              • What your own patterns around quitting are and how to rewrite your story for a different outcome.
              • What you truly want and how to make it real.
              • Join me in this coaching session as I guide you toward knowing how to not give in to the familiar urge to quit.

              • Episode 38: Want to Lose Weight? Let’s Look at the Patterns that Caused You to Gain It — Part 2 of 2

                I know you’ve struggled. I know you don’t totally get why you can’t lose this weight.

                But I do know how you can permanently lose the weight AND lose the whole problem.

                The answer: let me coach you and show you your patterns. Let’s take a good, deep look at how you got here, so you’re never in this position again.

                Here’s what we’ll cover together in this episode:

                • Why it’s important to shine the light on your patterns: no more secrets!
                • No one does everything wrong, including you. But I’ll bet you lump all your failures together, and I’ll show you how to stop doing that.
                • Let’s move your focus from what went wrong to what you do right. (I’ll show you that there ARE things you do right!)
                • What have you been doing that you know you should do more of?
                • What habits do you have that you know you want to drop?
                • And what are you doing that you’d like to do less of?
                • Why knowing your patterns creates your own personal GPS, and let’s you create a perfect path to what you want.
                • How to create a personal plan for yourself, because generic plans don’t work.
                • You can do this. And figuring out what went wrong is the first step to doing things different.

                  All my clients are in a big hurry to get to their weight goal. They don’t want to waste a moment; they just want to get to the end.

                  I tell them the words they need to hear but definitely don’t want to hear. Those words: slow down!

                  If you don’t slow down and take a peek in the rear-view mirror, you’ll never learn how you ended up where you are, how you gained the weight.

                  And then you’ll be doomed to keep repeating your patterns.

                  Here’s what you’ll learn in this coaching session, the first of a two-part series:

                  • Exactly why you need to look at your past weight and eating history.
                  • Why your weight right now is exactly where it should be.
                  • How to look at your weight and fact the facts, and not create drama about it.
                  • Your weight today is no mystery… and why that’s a good thing.
                  • What patterns led you to today?
                  • Did you deal with your moods in the past with food?
                  • Was your motivation lagging?
                  • Did you have a strong vision of what you wanted?
                  • Do you know how to pick yourself up when you inevitably fall down?
                  • Did restriction and deprivation hold you back?
                  • Are you a perfectionist? Perfectionism and weight loss don’t mix!
                  • Let me help you figure out what went wrong so you don’t repeat it again.

                    You did the best you could in the past. But now, let me show you how to do better.

                    Here are the two worksheets mentioned in the episode: The Miracle Question and Creating My End Game.

                  • Episode 36: Do You Really Need to Cook to Eat Well and Lose Weight?

                    Both sides of a good question.

                    Are you a gourmet cook? Me neither!

                    Sometimes I’m a takeout queen, and other times I’m prepping food for a healthy week.

                    It’s really good to know where you stand in the cooking question debate: to cook or not to cook? That is the question.

                    Here’s what we’ll cover in this coaching session that you need to know and think about:

                    • How the way you choose to feed yourself determines the ease or difficulty of your weight loss.
                    • Why you might choose to cook in order to eat better.
                    • On the other hand, why eating out might be stressful… or, it might actually make feeding yourself much easier.
                    • Why does it feel safer regarding food choices to eat at home?
                    • How to look at your food sensitivities and allergies so you aren’t feeling deprived.
                    • What if cooking just isn’t your thing?
                    • What are some options to restaurants, if you don’t want to cook?
                    • How to feel in charge of what and how you eat no matter what method you choose to get food.
                    • How do you make an eating plan that works?
                    • Why it’s important to actually make a decision about cooking or not cooking.
                    • Let me help you face the facts and make a choice, so you have no guilt and you always know where your next meal is coming from.
