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

Sometimes it’s hard to get yourself to do what you want to do.

Something that has helped me, and my Freedom Group members is looking at what goes on in your mind.

Are these thoughts you think without being aware?

It feels in the moment like this is just the truth and it’s reality, and it leads you to your moods and what you do.

What if your automatic thoughts lead you to do things that aren’t helpful? Like overeat?

That’s where your automatic thoughts might be leading you.

The good news is once you become aware of what your automatic thoughts are, and you can see what results they create for you, you will become aware of your choices.

And you can ditch those automatic thoughts for ones that serve you better.

Join me in this coaching session. Let’s see what your automatic thoughts are, and whether they are working for you or against you.

Welcome back, my friend.

So do I!

It gives us hope, right?

It’s one thing when we think we might be capable of change.

The problem comes when we think of our before and after only in terms of how much we weigh, or what size pants we wear.

There are so many parts that need to change and lead to your after.

It is doable. And we’re going to talk about how.

Last week we talked about the compounding effect of your habits. Today I’m back to help you pinpoint which of your habits don’t serve you in your quest for weight loss.

We talk about habits a lot here.

So, whether you are thinking about a good habit you have, that affects your eating and your weight, or a habit you wish you didn’t have…all your habits count and add up. Or compound.

Before we dive in to change any of your habits, you need to be aware of what you’re doing, especially if you’re talking about an area of life that you might not be happy about.

One of the big picture goals I wish for you is to build habits that support your weight loss and your life as you want it to be. Building these kinds of habits puts you in charge as the artist who is creating your life, just the way you want it to be.

Today I want to talk about the habits you have that aren’t serving you.

We all have them.

But let’s just start with some of the things you do that feel so automatic that it feels like you have no choice.

Your life is made up of lots of different habits.

But some are habits you hate.

Your weight is also made up of habits.

You get the picture.

If you wish to change your weight, you are really wanting to change the habits that you currently practice.

And yet, as exciting as it feels to think about those big changes you are going to make, it’s harder than it looks.

Are you willing to listen to this perspective and see if there is a better way to change your habits?

I know your struggle.

And in this struggle, you are in a fairly constant battle with yourself.

So, you push and pull and fight and hate, hoping you can change yourself.

But what if, just imagine, that no one could ever lose any weight at all. No one could gain, and no one, including you, could lose.

Would you feel compelled to still hate yourself?

That does not mean you’d keep overeating and abuse your body.

And that would probably mean you’d eat better.

Let’s use the fantasy of ‘no more weight loss ever’ to find a way to be compassionate to yourself right now. Not in the future when the number on the scale was lower. Now.

And guess what? That will probably help you release some extra weight!

Let’s say you decide you want to lose weight. And you make a plan, and get everything you need to do all lined up. You’re ready. But somehow, even though you really want to do this, the everyday challenges of life come up and you simply forget to focus on what you want most.

Does that sound like something that happens to you?

I know you probably won’t believe me here.

But what if I told you that you could wake up tomorrow and pretend to be the woman you wished you were?

Acting ‘as if’ you were already where you want to be is one of the ways you get your brain to change.

You wake up in the morning and pretend that you are following a script.

Here’s the thing.

Because pretending that this was you, would give you a glimpse into the world of that woman, that woman that you so dearly want to be.

And that glimpse could be the start for you.

So, for now, let’s just pretend. Join me and try this experiment and let me know how you do.

This can be your start!

The post Episode 236: Acting As If For Weight Loss appeared first on Real Weight Loss for Real Women.

If you’ve ever tried to lose weight for a special event, you are not alone. The question is: is this a good idea? Or not?

Think of all the things you’ve done in the past that may have made you think you needed to lose weight for:

You think of these events, and you think about how you want to look, right?

And you think your weight is a barometer of how well you are doing in your life.

So, you search for a diet.

You might lose some weight.

Tune in and join me in this coaching session.

Imagine this:

Just imagine how it would feel if it were easy to say: No thanks!

If this seems like an impossible dream to you, you are not alone.

We tell ourselves stories, like:

I don’t know when I’ll get this again, so I’d better eat some now!

She made it just for me. I can’t say no!

Or:

Think about all those times that you are saying yes to eating when you aren’t hungry. All those times count. And they all add up to extra weight.

If you were able to say ‘no’ when you are offered food when you weren’t hungry, your body would reflect that. And you’d feel proud and in control.

In our coaching session today, we are going to talk about why it’s so hard to turn down food, even if you aren’t hungry. AND we will talk about what to do instead.

Join me and learn about how to make turning down extra food easier.
