  • Episode 260: Are You Hungry Before Bed? Here’s What To Do

    Do you eat right before bed?

    Is this your habit?
    Let’s look at the eating before bed habit so we can decide if it’s giving you the results you want, or not.

    Let’s look at the reasons for wanting to eat before bed that come from physical hunger, from physical causes.

    If we look back at your last meal, which was likely dinner, check in to see if you ate less at dinner than you usually do.
    Sometimes you might intentionally eat less because you are trying to lose weight.
    Your brain knows this, but your body doesn’t and your body is asking for more food.
    So, if you don’t feed yourself based on what and how much your body wants, you might be depriving your body of food it naturally needs.
    Later, before bed, you will be hungry from the food you denied yourself and will ask you to feed yourself.
    And maybe you ate less all day, not just at dinner.
    Maybe on this day you moved your body more…it really takes a lot of exercise to truly expend significantly more calories, and if you actually do that, you will feel hungrier, at the end of the day. your body is tallying up what you gave it, and it feels like it is coming up short.
    So, it is demanding more food.
    I don’t want to go to bed and wait till morning.
    I want to eat now.

    What if you ate your usual amount at dinner but less dense?

    Example: only fruits or veggies
    Lots of high-water content food
    They may have filled you up but were digested quickly
    Your body wants more
    Now what if none of those physical reasons came up for you and led you to want to eat before bed
    What if it was something else?

    And maybe your habit is emotional…. you feel sad or frustrated with your day, and this is like your bedtime gift for yourself.

    You think you deserve something
    Or you feel lonely, and the food is your company
    It distracts you from what you are feeling.
    Unappreciated, worried, fearful of something

    So, with all these possible causes, how do you decide whether to eat or not?

    You know I’m a big believer in getting at the origin of a problem.
    To solve your pre-bed eating, let’s work backwards to do this.
    Are you ready?

  • Episode 259: Amy Learned How to be Surrounded by Food without Overdoing It

    Join me today as we talk with Amy, a current Freedom Group member.

    You might be interested in her story, because she has busted through all the excuses you can imagine for struggling with eating and weight.

    What if you cooked for a living?

    What if you created recipes daily?
    What if you spent your days writing and blogging about food?
    And creating cookbooks?
    And even, at one point, owned restaurants?

    Would you be able to not overeat?

    Imagine being surrounded and tempted by food most days of the week.

    Would you throw up your hands and dive into the cookies and ice cream?

    Amy learned how to be surrounded by food, and truly enjoy food, without overdoing it.

    Without sacrificing her health and her body.
    All while going through all the normal ups and downs that life gives all of us.

    And yet Amy achieved freedom from the struggle with food and eating and her weight.

    And if Amy can do this, you can too.

    Listen to our interview today and see if you can imagine yourself learning what Amy learned.

    How would it change your life?

  • Episode 258: What It Takes To Lose Weight For Good

    What if I told you the exact three things it would take for you to lose weight for good? Would you be interested?

    I would have killed for this information back in the days when I was an emotional eater.

    So here it is, just for you.

    Losing weight for good is absolutely do-able.
    Thousands of women have been through my programs and have changed their eating habits for good.
    And that means that you can do this too.

    Knowledge is power.

    If you have not been successful before, that doesn’t mean that you never will.
    It simply means that you have not understood what it takes.
    You have not updated your methods, to include the latest knowledge from brain science, from coaching and from psychology.

    Here is the help you need.

    Listen to this coaching session and decide to take simple steps to help yourself change.
    How you eat.
    How you think.
    And how you love yourself.

    I’m betting on you, my friend.

    If anyone can do this, I know you can.

  • Episode 254: Did You Just Overeat? What’s Next?

    Today we are going to talk about slipping and getting back on track without struggling.

    Slips are inevitable when you are learning something new.

    And your main goal when you are in a slip, is to learn how to recover from a slip without punishing yourself.

    Having a slip in relation to how you are eating simply means that you ate more than your body needed. That’s it!

    So today we will talk about how to recover from a slip without beating yourself, without judging yourself, and without starving yourself.

    We all overeat sometimes, especially on our way toward learning how to eat naturally.

    The important thing to look at when you DO overeat is what you do immediately after.

    Do you punish yourself?

    Do you restrict your eating to ‘make up’ for what you just overate?

    You may very well be sabotaging yourself without realizing it!

    Restricting your eating following an overeating episode, messes with your survival instincts.

    It reinforces a habit that is exactly what you want to stop doing! When you don’t give yourself enough food, to make up for overeating, your brain thinks you are starving. And this will make you want to eat even more.

    Listen in and join me in this coaching session as I teach you why it’s so important not to restrict your eating after you’ve overeaten.

    If you regularly swing between overeating and then under-eating, this session is for you!

  • Episode 253: How Routines Can Help Your Weight Loss

    What if there were a way to make your weight loss journey easier?

    Would you be interested?

    There is a way, and it’s called ‘routines’.

    Routines help you do things in an easier way.

    After you’ve established a routine, especially in how you eat or think or care for yourself, it’s easier to do the thing you want to do, than to not do it.

    You’ll be able to make decisions easier and will have less decisions to make. Because doing the routine takes the act of deciding away.

    You’ll have less stress over what you should or shouldn’t eat, or when you should eat.

    Routines will help you break down what you really want – your goal – into small steps that follow a plan. So, in the moment, all you’ll have to do it follow your plan.

    You can create simple routines for so many different areas of your life, including your eating. Some ideas for routines are:

    • Your work
    • Your self-care
    • Doing fun things
    • Staying in touch with friends and family
    • Moving your body
    • Bedtime routines
    • Morning routines
    • Planning and prepping food routines
    • Health-related routines
    • Journaling
    • What area of your life feels like a struggle?

      This is an area that could probably use a routine.
      Join me as I help you create a routine that will make your life, and of course your weight loss, easier.

    • Episode 252: The Pain of Being In Between

      I’ll bet you’re pretty good at starting over.

      And are even pretty good at setting goals.
      You know where you want to go.
      You know what you want to be different.
      And you look ahead.

      You see your end goal in sight.

      You get excited.
      You plot your steps and start taking them.

      All is good so far.

      But at a certain point, you reach that middle point.
      The in between.
      The point between your starting point and your goal point.
      And it feels awful.

       And this middle point, this point that is in-between where you start and where you want to finish… it’s a danger zone.

      This is where you and most others generally quit.

      It’s new, it’s hard, it’s uncomfortable.

      And no one likes being there.
      How do you currently get out of the discomfort of the middle?
      Typically, you give up. You quit.

      But getting to the middle and giving up won’t get you where you want to go.

      It will give you momentary relief from the discomfort of doing a new thing.
      And then you will be right back at the starting gate.

      Join me in this coaching session today, where I will show you how to get past the pain of being in between your starting point and your goal.

      No more U-turns.
      No more giving up.
      You can do this!

    • Episode 251: What You Need To Do Today To Create A Better Tomorrow

      Welcome back my dear listener.

      If you are against planning and thinking ahead because you think it’s a diet-y thing to do, you are not alone. Today we are going to talk about how you can use today to have a better tomorrow, in how you eat, how you think and feel and how you take care of yourself.

      • Do you feel in control or out of control?
      • Do you know what you are going to eat or is it just whatever is around or what is offered to you?
      • Do you know how to anticipate your day?
      • What is coming up for you, and when and with who?
      • Or does it all seem to come at you all at once?
      • Do you feel like you cross your fingers and hope you have a good eating day?
      • Or do you know how to create a good eating day?
      • Do you think it’s all about luck?
      • Do you think that women who eat well with foods that are helpful and love them back are smarter than you?
      • Or luckier than you?
      • Or is it just a mystery of what is the difference between you and those special women?
      • Join me in this coaching session as we shine the light on the truth about what makes a good eating day vs. a challenging one.

        It is not random, and, yes, you do have so say in how your day goes.

        I’m going to show you what makes a day good, what makes a day challenging, and how it all affects how you eat.

        When you think today about how you want tomorrow to go, you are not at the mercy of all the other people and events that are in your orbit, sitting with your fingers crossed hoping they will go well. You are in charge of you even when you don’t know the exact details of what is coming at you.
