Hi there! Do you ever eat in a restaurant?

Of course, you do! These days we all eat out more than ever before. And one of the most fearful eating experiences when eating out is dealing with a buffet.

You know, those restaurants where there are long, long tables of food and all of it looks and smells delicious.

You know that in the past, the buffet signaled the end of your self-control and the beginning of regret and shame.

But there’s a new way to look at an eating event like a buffet. Or any restaurant meal. Or dinner at a friend’s house where you have no choice about what is served.

In this coaching session, we are going to talk about a new way to not only eat at a buffet, but a new way to think about buffets.

With this new mindset, you will be in charge of yourself and your eating no matter what’s in front of you.

So get cozy and grab a notebook, and get ready to be coached.

We’ll take a look at how you eat right now, and what influences your food choices.

And why it pays to think about what you’ll be eating ahead of time.

Want to be spontaneous and just wing it? Then you should know what your results are likely to be.

And, I’m pulling back the curtain to reveal my own food struggles that kept me stuck in a vicious cycle, and how I got out of it.

Let me coach you on how to find the foods that are truly right for you. Join me!

What could feel better than a fresh start?

But often, as you know, those multiple fresh starts don’t usually have what it takes for you to get past the first month, or maybe even the first week.

I know that it’s likely that you secretly beat yourself up about your weight right now, all while trying to valiantly push forward to reach your goals.

Stop right there. That doesn’t work, and we’re not going to do that anymore. I need you to put away all the thoughts related to ‘failure’ before you set any goals or make any promises to yourself.

You want to do this, right? Then join me in this coaching session and let me show you how to really start the new year off right.

The post Episode 53: How to Feel Good in the New Year No Matter What You Weigh Right Now! appeared first on Real Weight Loss for Real Women.

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year! This is our 52nd episode of Weight Loss Made Real and I hope you’ve enjoyed your coaching sessions.

With so much material covered, it may be hard for you to organize it all and try to follow the concepts.

So in this episode, I’ve put together what I consider your top 8, most important coaching sessions and concepts. You might want to go back and listen to these again, as you decide what you want to choose to focus on in the New Year.

Here we go with your top 8 concepts:

Concept #1: Clear your path. Learn from your past mistakes. This is covered in Episode 2, Let’s Clear Your Path to Weight Loss Success.

Concept #2: Connect with your body. Here you’ll learn how to eat like a naturally slim person, and you can find this in Episode 3 (How to eat like a naturally slim woman) and Episode 6 (When to start eating and when to stop).

Concept #3: Challenge your thoughts. It’s mind management time! Go back and listen to Episode 7 (Managing your mind to end your emotional eating) and Episode 13 (Understanding and ending your emotional eating).

Concept #4: Check your habits. Your habits either help you or hurt you. Let’s look at what you are doing and what you’d rather be doing. You’ll find this in Episode 11 (Your eating habits).

Concept #5: Working on Project Y.O.U. Do you remember why it makes so much sense to work on your eating, your weight, and yourself in general as if it were a project? Take a listen to Episode 5, called Working on Project You.

Concept #6: Cherish yourself! You’ve heard me talk about self-care, self-worth, and self-esteem. All different ways of saying LOVE! Go back to Episode 9 and listen to How to care for yourself so you can do the right thing.

Concept #7 is all about creating your own tool kit. This is not from a published podcast, but is coming in a future episode. How to put all the things you’ve learned into a tool kit that you can pull out and use as needed to get through Project YOU.

And last, is Concept #8: Banish Your Binges. Here I remind you of some of the things I talked about with Kathryn Hansen, of Brain Over Binge, to help you get rid of those life-disrupting urges to binge. You can find our talk in Episode 8, and can apply what you learn there to binge eating of course, but also to emotional eating and general overeating.

Here’s to another year of growth for you. Keep listening and keep learning. You can do this!

Xoxo,

Do you ever listen to the thoughts that go around and around in your mind?

You probably are so engaged with the self-talk you always do, that you don’t pay that much attention to it anymore.

But, this could be dangerous because your self-talk runs your inner life.

And your outer world is basically run by your inner world. Good reason to take a listen to that podcast in your head, right?

Pull up a chair. Here’s what we’ll cover in our coaching session today:

Listen as I coach you on how to recognize these questions that run in the background all the time. Learn how to notice what you’re doing. And how to start rejecting those dangerous questions you’ve always asked, and substitute much more helpful ones.

I will see you in our coaching session!
