In Western culture, particularly in the United States, we are often taught to fear failure and to avoid discussing our failures. This mindset is incompatible with losing weight for the last time; which is a process where you need to be willing to take a look at why you failed to avoid making that same mistake again.

In my latest podcast on Why you think it’s impossible to lose weight, I discuss how to leverage failure in order to learn what worked, what didn't work and what you will do differently on a weekly basis.

It's a learning process; but fortunately, you are the one in control. That's liberating, empowering, and also a little scary because we are not used to thinking that way. Now is the time to ask yourself: What are YOU willing to do to get to your goal? Then, do it, and know it’s OK to do it afraid.

Losing weight for the last time, like any other worthwhile goal requires learning from your failures and past mistakes so you can get to your goal. This is difficult to do on your own; and if you are like me you've tried that already. Why not get help with a coach and learn the tools you need to make permanent weight loss a goal you that is possible for you.

I'm no stranger to the struggle of changing. My own weight loss journey was riddled with frustration as I tried time and again to conform to this or that diet or practically starve myself at times. At last, I learned that weight loss is 20% tweaking what you're eating - and no, it DOESN'T involve severe deprivation - but 80% is managing your mind and your thoughts about food!

In this episode, I'll talk about what your final weight loss transformation means. Losing weight permanently, like any other truly transformative process, requires a permanent alteration in lifestyle. Now, everybody wants the results, but not everybody wants to make lifestyle changes (remember, 20% diet, 80% mind and thought management) to achieve those results! The difference between people who get results and people who don't is having the willingness to make lifestyle changes and stick to them.

As a professional weight loss coach, my job, and indeed my calling, is to provide support and accountability for people willing to do what it takes to achieve results. If you feel like you could benefit from having somebody on your team to help you lose weight for the last time, let's talk.

When you're on a healthy eating plan and you suddenly have the liberation of being on vacation or taking holidays off, you may experience what I like to call stinkin' thinkin' - little thoughts from your primitive brain that beg you to answer its cravings for food that's unhealthy or otherwise incompatible with your plan. Sometimes you even give in to the temptation. But don't sweat it!

Maintaining a plan for healthy eating over holidays or vacations doesn't have to induce profound agony! In this episode, I'll explain my personal 8-step process of charting upcoming events to keep my mind on track, and I'll also explain WHY you shouldn't sweat it when you mess up.

With Thanksgiving behind you and the December holidays before you, perhaps you feel like the inevitable, insatiable holi-diet monster is looming over you! Trying to exercise restraint during the holiday season is exquisitely painful for anybody who loves food. I've been there and I know!

In this episode, I visit a tale of two weight loss journeys. One is plan of never-ending cycles of losses and gains that will leave you exhausted and frankly miserable. The other is a joyful and refreshing path to fulfillment based on small steps and planning ahead so you never have to worry about the logistics of eating. Trust me, given the choice between these two paths, you'll want the latter!
