Did you know that almost all good coaches have their own coach? I love being coached in all different areas. It’s a way for me to stretch myself to become the best version of me.

Self-care, which I’ve started calling self-love is one big way to take care of yourself. To dare yourself to really figure out what you need, and find a way to give it to yourself.

Because that’s what most of us who eat emotionally are trying to do. We’re not trying to sabotage our hard work. We’re just trying to survive and feel better and do our best.

However, that extra eating isn’t working.

That’s why I invited one of my own coaches, Margie Beiswanger, to talk to me and you about how she makes self-LOVE a regular part of her life.

I thought you’d like to hear from a real live woman, who shares many of the challenges you have, and learn how she does it.

I mean, how she really does it.

For several years, as I’ve been coached by Margie on growing my coaching business, somehow we’ve always managed to come around to whether or not I was taking care of me. And many times I wasn’t.

So listen as Margie and I talk about why self-LOVE for yourself is important, and why you might feel just a little guilty doing it, and how to get over that guilt. Now.

Join me.

How many times have you eaten without being hungry?

In this coaching session, I’m going to teach you and help you be able to say ‘no’ when you aren’t hungry, which is the earmark of a natural eater.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

Join me today for a tough love session.

I want you to know how small your weight is in the big picture of you. Of who you really are.

Enough!

I will show you how to think about your weight and be happy right now. If you learn how to be happy no matter what your weight is right now, then your weight loss journey will be so much easier.

And here’s the thing:

Do you ever feel like your day is running amok from the moment you wake up until the moment you crash on your pillow at night?

So many women just like you go, go, go all day long and feel like they have no control over their day. It stands to reason that if you think you have no control over your day, then chances of sticking to your eating plan are slim to none.

In order to be able to think and take a breath between activities and obligations and even remember what you’re trying to do, it helps to divide your day into sections and let yourself flow from one to the next.

And the key is intentionality.

Some days throw the unexpected at us. All day. But most days, even if they are hectic, have a rhythm to them.

Here’s what you’ll learn today about managing your day so you can stay focused on your eating goals:

I am going to teach you how to mentally break your day in sections, and guide you to consciously choose how you want each part to go. And how you want to show up in each of those parts.

I’ll see you in the session!

I love my listeners! And that includes you! In this podcast, I talk about a letter I got from one of my listeners, with her permission.

Like many of us, she has trouble hearing her body’s signals, so it’s hard to know when to start and when to stop eating.

Years of doing this can create lots of disconnection between your body and your mind. And it can create lots of extra weight.

So what’s the answer?

Getting back in touch with what hunger feels like, and responding to it.

I want you to eat when you are hungry and not ignore the hunger. On the other hand, when you do retrain yourself to feel that hunger, there is no need to panic.

Listen in as I coach this listener on how to be patient with her body, and create a way to be able to hear those faint hunger signals and strengthen them.

She’s on the right path, and so will you be.

I’ll see you on the podcast.

The post Episode 44: Do You Think Weight Loss is TOO Hard? appeared first on Real Weight Loss for Real Women.

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:

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.
