The fear of failure is a “core fear” for so many of us. When we hold the fear of failure as a “core fear” we will have a very difficulty time finding success in any change or goal we are trying to attain. This particularly can be applied to weight loss or trying to make changes for better health. Fear of failing is often at the core of self-sabotage and why we so often can make changes and see progress for a while, but then eventually, we go back to old habits and patterns and either gain the weight back and/or go back to unhealthy behavioral patterns around our physical health. Take a listen to learn if you might hold this core fear, how this “core fear” of failing sabotages our goals and how to move through this core-fear-belief system and into a new identify with new thoughts that create new feelings that cultivate new behaviors and get you to any goal for good!

This episode leans a little bit more to a practical side of weight loss and weight maintenance and how certain ways of exercising or movement can work better for quicker weight loss, for weight maintenance and for building a healthy relationship with your body. I particularly focus on strength training and how it effects the body in a way that can be weight-loss or weight-gain focused. I talk about what to do if you are brand new to strength training as well as if you are a seasoned expert and how to establish training plans that work for fat loss and building or maintaining muscle.

Our inner critic is that voice in our head that is always saying critical, often mean, really unkind things to us as we go throughout our days.

I also give you practical ways to shift your relationship with this part of you in order to create that quicker weight loss.

In this episode, I talk about how binging behavior and over eating behaviors is not about excess pleasure or gluttony (which is often told to people who use excessive food or binge with food). But instead these behaviors come from not being able to experience pleasure fully. The belief that society tends to hold is that overweight people (or maybe not even overweight) but people who overeat or binge on food are gluttons and just eat and eat to experience pleasure is false and understanding this for yourself can be such a relief from shame and guilt. Keep listening to learn what your overeating/bingeing behavior is actually about and how to harness more pleasure to reduce overeating and bingeing behaviors.

Take a listen for an easy to understand break down of how the dopamine pathway influences that desire or need or urge to continue to overeat and/or binge. You’ll learn how to lessen the influence of the dopamine response in order to create less of that urge to overeat or binge which in turn leads to weight loss, peace with food and the ability to eat “normally”.

Creating an abundant mindset vs a mindset of deprivation and restriction is a key to getting off that “diet rollercoaster” or “yo-yo dieting” and finding sustainable weight loss. I find that when I can teach and coach my clients on how to start adopting a mindset of abundance, weight loss becomes much easier. When we come from a mindset of abundance, losing weight and our relationship with food and our bodies feels much more relaxed, freeing and it becomes easier to make changes within our food/eating habits. Take a listen to learn more about how an abundant mindset creates quicker and easier weight loss and how to begin to teach your brain to stay in an abundant mindset.

When it comes to building optimal health, including losing weight, there is one way that works and works for life and that is coming at it from a holistic approach. A holistic approach to weight loss takes into account nutrition and fitness but it includes so much more. And this “so much more” is what helps us figure out how to actually engage in new food and fitness behaviors and habits that feel doable and sustainable for life. A holistic approach to weight loss is comprehensive and is unique to each individual (remember we are all unique and what works for one person won’t necessarily work for you!). Take a listen to learn more about the holistic approach I personally use with myself and my clients when it comes to optimal health and well-being.

Taking responsibility for our bodies is often key to get us moving in the right direction for permanent weight loss, food freedom and health. Taking responsibility means really “owning” what the positive and negative consequences of our choices and behaviors are rather than blaming them on external factors or others’ actions. It’s paradoxical but practicing taking responsibility and “owning” our decisions and actions will lead to quicker weight loss and being able to maintain that weight loss. It’s what also leads to feelings “normal” around food and loving your body. Take a listen to learn the two steps needed to learn the “HOW” of taking responsibility for your body.
