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

How do you choose your goal weight?

You might be choosing it because that’s what a famous public figure weighs, and you admire her.

Or maybe you’ve chosen a weight that you are aiming for that reminds you of a happy time in your life.

Today we’re going to get really clear on how to choose a weight loss goal.

I want you to think about this during the week. Think about your real life. How you eat, how you move, your age, and all the things that make up your life.

What are you willing and able to change?

This session will help you come to a weight range that you can work toward that will be real, just like you.

See you in the episode.

Did you ever wonder why you’ve felt like eating every time you walked through your kitchen?

Yes, of course, part of it will always be your thinking.

So I want to ask you a personal question.

So I hope you don’t mind if I ask you if you have a messy kitchen.

No judgement here, my friend.

You are a sensitive human, and whatever you see or hear or even smell, conjures up memories.

So if you a package of cookies your brain will think: mmm, good! I remember those cookies. And I want some of them!

And you, like all of us, being a creature of habit, will likely go get some cookies. And if you are not hungry or didn’t plan for cookies right now, you won’t be happy with yourself.

Sometimes succeeding at a goal of how you want to eat can be reached with making changes in your environment.

It’s not cheating to make your life and your eating easier! I promise.

So listen in and be honest about the state of your kitchen. And decide if it is working for you.

Do you think that losing weight is just SO hard?

Part of the reason you think this way is that you aren’t clear on how to do it.

But the other reason you think it’s a huge hard thing is that you are looking at it as a big problem. When you do that, it’s hard to see where to begin. What to work on.

I want you to break it down into three main challenges.

A diet tells you what to eat, how much to eat, and maybe when to eat.

No book will help you take apart the problem.

Why?

Do you hate saying ‘no’ to yourself?

What do you mean I can’t have that?

But I’ve learned that if I never say no to myself, I wouldn’t love the outcome.

If I said no to my promise to move my body, in the moment, I’d get a free pass to just chill and relax.

I realized that sometimes I did need to say ‘no’ to get what I wanted.

And that is what I want to share with you today.

This coaching session will help you see how and when to lovingly say ‘no’.

Imagine this.

But nothing is really wrong.

Do you just not show up?

My guess is that you keep your promise to your friend and show up for your date.

So how do we translate this skill, that you already have, to you?

That is what we will cover in your coaching session today.

I know you think that excitement will help you follow through. And it does, to some extent. But you also need to take action. And practice taking action over and over again.

We will talk about why it’s easier to make and keep promises in the morning and how to create momentum that will help you stay true to your word even as the day goes on.

You’ll learn why planning on a deep level really helps make keeping those promises easier, and how to plan and break down that promise into small doable steps.

Imagine now how amazing it would feel to do exactly what you said you would do, just like honoring that promise to a friend who is sitting waiting for you at lunch.

You can do this, and I will help you.

Pop quiz:

If you recognize these thoughts, you are in for a challenge today.

I know we live in a culture where thin is worshipped.

All this is good. But what isn’t so good is you connecting happiness with a number. Because if you believe you can’t be happy until you achieve the magic number, then you are doomed.

It’s like you are telling yourself that you must be miserable until someday in the future when you get to that number.

Think about how that makes you feel.

No.

So I hope you open your mind today to the idea that you do not have to hate where you are to change where you are.

What do you do when you wake up and feel low?

If you’ve been listening to me for a while, and you know how your mind works, you might be tempted to think: what can I think to feel better?

You might struggle to think positively so that you don’t overeat.

But what if you could have a down day, or a ‘blah’ day, like I sometimes do, and don’t feel compelled to fix it?

You could just accept that ups and downs and in-betweens are all just part of the whole picture of you.

When you don’t like how you feel, you might assume that you need to do something to feel better.

But it’s when you think you ‘shouldn’t’ feel low that you then add to the original low feeling. You might be resisting feeling all the natural emotions, and this leads you to want to run to the escape hatch…quickly!

What’s one of the fastest ways away from a painful emotion?

So, join me today as we explore what you might do with challenging emotions. It’s a skill worth learning.
