Weight Loss Winformation

This week we pick up where we left off last week when we talked about how our filtered and familiar automatic negative thoughts interfere with our reaching our goals in so many areas of our lives. Today we pick up that conversation and talk about identifying what we are carrying around inside ourselves that is negative and spills out everywhere in our present-day life. Learning to identify what is driving our self-sabotaging behaviors and implementing skills that reform our sabotaging thoughts and behaviors is so worth the effort. Listen in and learn how to do this!

The Weight Loss Winformation Podcast gives you essential psychological information to help you lose weight and more importantly, to help keep you at a healthy weight for your body! No matter how you are working to lose weight and no matter how much weight you want to lose, Weight Loss Winformation will keep you moving in a positive direction. Let’s get started because well… Why Weight? (get it? Pun intended… )?

Today’s episode may be one of the most important episodes of this entire 303 podcast episodes! Why! Because it highlights one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself to make healthy changes in your life. Not only in your weight loss journey, although certainly in this area of your life. But in your relationships, your job, and your self-worth! We all cling to a narrative that was created by filtered and familiar thoughts from a lifetime of experiences and your own judgements and conclusions. These lead to emotionally driven reactions to present-day situations that lead us away from what we want in life. Enough said. Jump into this one!

Oh, buddy! Get ready to question yourself in a deep way in this episode! Most of readily admit to wanting to be healthy… wanting to improve our health… and that is probably the number one reason people give me for wanting to have weight loss surgery.

Influencers… seems most teens and plenty of adults would love to make a living as an influencer! There are certainly some benefits of doing so, it appears! I have no issue with influencers… unless and until they start going outside their lane. By that I mean giving information or advice they aren’t qualified to give. Influencers are free to share their personal experiences, their opinions, and tips that work for then and things that don’t. But please – if you are an influencer - stay away from “educating” people about things you are not qualified to teach. Leave that to professionals. And as a consumer, be wise about the choices you make. Influencers can give you great ideas based on their own experiences and what others have shared with them. But be mindful of their words and behavior. Assess for yourself if they are following the advice of the professionals with whom you are working and if their way of life matches up with your personal values. Listen in… this is a hot topic, especially in the bariatric community.
