Do you connect deeply with your feelings? Might this send you to the fridge?  This is what we talk about in today's episode.  If you are a sensitive soul and are looking for a way to navigate this without heading to the food every time, take a listen. 

It's our feelings that lead us to the food. I've found that many women are either numbed out from their feelings, or they feel their feelings very deeply.  Both of these situations can lead to more eating.  Today we explore what to do when you are numbed out from your feelings.  I include some tips on where to get started.   

So many people think it's so easy and simple.  Just eat less and exercise more.  But I'm unsure if you know this or not, but we all have a part of us that DOESN'T want to change. I used to think that there was something wrong with me. It was my fault and it was a control issue and everyone had control except me.  The more I felt like a failure, the more that I felt bad about myself, beat myself up...

If you are struggling with your eating habits, I have a new way to think about it.  I have started to explore the area of working with our different parts. I have a free workshop about this next week that I wanted to invite you to if this resonates.  We are the sum of many parts.  We have a part of us that wants us to change, and wants the best for us, and we all have a part that sabotages us.   I...

In this episdoe, we talk about what to do when you notice any changes or backslides with your eating.  This could happen after the honey moon wears off after WLS, or it could be when all was going well, you were eating well, feeling good, and then it feels like out of the blue, your eating changed. You're eating everything and everything in site (so it feels like) or those old V1,0 habits have sta...

In this eposide we talk through some tips on how to meal plan after weight loss surgery, without getting back into counting and control! Listen for some really helpful tips and resources to help you.  Want to help re-wire your brain around your #1 problematic eating habit?  Join my next 3 day challenge here > https://breakup.georgiebeames.com/

We all have a part of us that wants to change - the part of you that decided to get WLS, the part of you that exercises, the part of you that's here listening to this podcast.  And then we have  a part of us that doesn't want to change.  It's the part of us that eats in the moment, is consumed by food. Let's dig deeper and understand the part of that is eating, how she might be trying to help you....

My guest, Bariatric Dietitian Margaret Hayes and I get asked this question  a lot.  Should you try Intermittent Fasting after WLS? Listen as Margaret provides a response from her dietitic perspective, and I provide a response from a psychological perspective.  Enjoy!!

The last night that we were in Tasmania for school holidays, I started to have this bingey feeling.  I just wanted to get food in.  I had about 5 chocolates, 2 glasses of wine that I guzzled and half an icecream over a short period of time.   I recognised that old feeling of just wanting to shovell anything into my mouth. During it, I didn't use any of my tools. Afterwards, I didn't use any of my...

You can't hate your way skinny! Trust me, I tried it and gained more and more weight.  How can I accept something that I hate? If I accept my body now, does it mean I've resigned myself to being like this forever? Here's where to start and a powerful exercise to stop using your body as a scapegoat and start to treat it like you're on the same team.  Listen for more.  I invite you to join my next 3...

When things are predictable you feel like you have some control right? This is where it got me thinking, this perhaps might just be more of a control issue than a fear issue.  I used to think this block was more about the fear of the unknown. Rather than the issue being fear…..I feel like this issue could be about a loss of control…. Listen to learn more... PS I have a new workshop if you'd like t...

Are you stuck in a comfort cycle that is preventing you from stepping into your V2.0 self.    Let's talk about comfort levels.    Women say _ I want to change. I want peace, I want freedom. I want to trust myself around food, I want to thrive.  But they get stuck in a comfort cycle.  Maybe this might be where you are stuck as well. Listen to learn more. 

Psychology 101 tells us our thoughts leads to our feelings, our feelings lead to our behaviour.  We have a thought that we are a failure with our eating/weight > this leads to a feeling of feeling helpless, ashamed or disappointed > behav - lead to more eating. We get stuck in a v1.0 cycle.  Same thinking gets the same results.  V2.0 thinking can get v2.0 outcomes, because when we choose an empowe...

Join Bariatric Margaret Hays and myself as we unpack this big question from a dietetic perspective, and I answer the question from a Psychological perspective - because nothing is in isolation! Learn some new strategies and ideas in this insightful episode. 

Have you asked yourself this question? Often, we are prepared to put in work in other areas of our life, but we secretly want the area of eating and weight to be easy (and to not work at it). This is a perfectionsim block.  Listen to learn more and what to start doing each day to shift it. 

Most of us have a default mode of doing. We are very proficient at doing.  Doing mode is about being busy, to do lists, the strategy is to control.  We know we are doing when our awareness is in our head.    We are either doing, or being. They are mutually exclusive.  We can not be and do at the same time. When we experience cravings, our awareness is in our head.  When we are 'doing' we are also...

I see so many WLS patients who still have the old, pre-surgery self worth - the surgery itself does not upgrade your self worth.  Then many WLS patients have their self worth tied up in their weight and appearance.  "If I get to goal weight, then I'll feel good about myself.  If I am not losing weight or I've gained weight then I don't feel good about myself." This is like being on a roller coaste...

I was involved in a bad car accident recently that almost wrote off my car and left me with concussion and a week in bed.  In this very personal episode, I share my refections, learnings and commitments moving forward to continue to really embed my Version 2.0 self. 

Would it serve you to release some V1.0 clutter? In this episode I encourage you to perform an internal and external audit. To what extent is your environment, social media and interactions serving you at the V2.0 level? What internal stories and old feelings might you be holding onto that would serve you to release? Let's do this x

Are you waiting for your circumstances to change before you change? Have you ever said to yourself that you'll start again tomorrow? This is a version 1.0 strategy. Change really comes from commitments, not circumstances.  Listen to learn more....
