Reverse The Rebound Weight Gain Podcast

Have you ever committed to something that you know would really help you, and then you've taken no action? It got me thinking about procrastination as a form of sabotage and I thought it would be great to explore this on the podcast as I think this can be a common block for many listeners.  We know that Sabotage is sneaky. It happens at the subconscious level.    Sabotage looks like resistance. We...

How do we know what sabotage block we are sitting with that's affecting our eating and weight? If you are not where you want to be with your eating and weight, it's more than likely that there's a sabotage block (or a combination of blocks) that are in control of your eating and weight. Such as all or nothing thinking, perfectionism, eating to numb out etc. In this episode I share with you how to...

This last weekend I was at a professional development course and was paired up with a buddy who wanted to work on her weight regain.  She lost 60kg a few years ago and started to receive male attention, and whilst part of her enjoyed it, another part of her felt overwhelmed and she didn't know what to do with this new attention.  This was an identity issue.   She still had her old fat identity tha...

Julie had struggled most of her life with her eating and weight and described food as being her friend and it meant everything to her. Like most WLS patients she tried everything to lose weight and then had WLS surgery a few years ago. All was going well until a traumatic event at work which set off the weight gain spiral.  Hear Julie's inspiring story as she has stepped into her V2.0 self and the...

Today is a question that has come up a lot recently in the WLS clinic that I thought would be helpful to share.  This is a quick, easy and helpful tip for you to use that's in the moment when deciding what to eat, whilst not going out of control with food.   I used it actually on Sat night when I was out to dinner!!!  

Last week my almost 2 year had another seizure, and I was surprised at how I responded.  Do you think of worst case scenarios of how you will respond to future events? "I'll fail" "I can't do it" "I'll be a mess"  That's exactly what was happening for me, until I was in that exact same situation...and my response surprised me!

I get a little ranty in this episode, as I am seeing some big issues with certain posts in some WLS communities.   I talk about this a lot with my clients because it can be very triggering! First of all, I think overall communities offer a great sense of support, connection, encouragement.  They bring like minded people together and a sense of understanding and the feeling that you're not alone  -...

This week we hear from an NBT participant Susette. She had always struggled with her weight and tried everything to lose weight over the years. She decided to have WLS a few years ago and was going really well. In fact she was only 5 kg off her goal weight until she faced a stressful life event that sabotaged her success and her old ways started to sneak back in.  Listen to how she is back on trac...

Many women who I work with hold themselves at a much higher standard than they do others.  This is a subconscious Block around how you treat others vs how you treat yourself, which is underpinned by self worth. The block is that if I hold myself to the same standard as I do to others, then I'm a selfish person, because if I relax how I treat myself and talk to myself.  If I relax this high standar...

For so many of the clients I've worked with, they are very good at prioritising everyone else and bumping themselves down the bottom of the list. Which is our version 1.0 self. When you decided to have WLS, it was perhaps the first time ever that you had priortised yourself. It's the first time that you said - this is about me.  It's my time. It's my turn.  You do all of the things to support this...

This week in my NBT group, we processed some deep blocks on perfectionism and procrastination.  So many of us strive to be perfect, but it's 1.0 thinking and way of being.  Perfectionism is a fantasy.  Learn how to shift the goal to step into your Version 2.0 self.  For more, watch my free training > https://www.foodbrainrewired.com/wls_training

Next week I have a photoshoot booked which has completely triggered me!! Whenever you are triggered by something, there is something old behind it.  Your feelings are old feelings.  Your fears are old fears and we project these fears and other feelings onto the current situation.  A trigger isn't an isolated event.  It's related to an old event.  Listen as I share what I learnt about my trigger.

I speak with Amanda Clark, award winning Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian, with over 20 years experience working in bariatric surgery. Amanda has developed a system for more easily serving and eating the right amount of foods after weight loss surgery that we will hear about today.   Links: In Australia for consultations and products: www.greatideas.net.au In the US for products: www.amazo...

We are a sum of different parts.  These parts want to keep you at your 1.0 self. This looks like making 1.0 decisions. Whether that's sneaking the chocolate in at 9pm at night when everyone's in bed or you could make decisions or pass up opportunities that could really help you to step into your 2.0 self, but you don't because one of your parts has talked you out of it. Because these parts are 1.0...

I see so many WLS patients working with a broken strategy.  Many WLS believe that the problem is all about control. They start looking externally for the answers in the diets, calorie counting, macros, shakes, diet pills.   But if control really worked then chances are you wouldn't have needed surgery in the first place. Surgery is not your first rodeo, it's the last resort.   Learn what is the wa...

I understand that if you have been weighing yourself for many years you can come to rely on regular weigh ins.  What I find is that when women are addicted to the scales, they are seeing it as a way to keep them in control, and the flip side is, if they don't weigh themselves they are worried that they will then feel out of control (and therefore, BE out of control with their eating). However, the...

This is a really personal share and I am feeling pretty raw and fragile right now, and there's things I want to share that I'm sitting with right now that might help someone.  Last night I learned that a friend's husband who I really loved died in a sudden and tragic way, leaving behind his gorgeous wife and 2 young boys.  I cried all of last night and I'm still feeling pretty emotional about it a...

You may not think that your emotional eating is helping you, however, I also want to raise your self awareness to understand WHY you are emotionally eating.  Firstly, any time we continue a behaviour, such as 9pm eating on the couch after the kids are in bed, there's a benefit. If there was no benefit or payoff, we would stop that behaviour.  In this episode we dig a bit deeper in this episode to...

This time of year you get bombarded with all of those messages around new year, new you. It's the old V1.0 ways, and V1.0 thinking gets V1.0 results which contributed to you needing WLS in the first place.  You will learn on this podcast how to: 1. Take the pressure off results 2. Focus on inputs not outputs 3. Live your 2.0 values Join my Free Control Your Cravings Challenge starting 1st February...

This is really the million dollar question!!! The first thing is to watch your all or nothing thinking. You don't want to be either consciously or subconsciously thinking that you will be good next year, whether that's starting a new diet or telling yourself you'll be good come Jan 1st.  It's like a I'll start tomorrow mentality...and we are not taking responsibility for our our choices.  The all...

Changes in routine and structure can really trigger WLS to be out of control around food and get to January and want to start dieting and end up in the V 1.0 mindset.  Find out the key 3 triggers to watch out for over the Holiday Season to stay on track with your eating and weight to feel good about yourself come January 1st!  

WLS or even losing a sig amount of weight will not guarantee to change how you feel about yourself on the inside.  Your body image is an inside job.  You won't enjoy your WLS life if you don't shift this.   It's like your significant weight loss hasn't occurred because you've got the same v1.0 feelings. Feeling self conscious, feeling judged, hating on certain parts of your body.

Hear from my dietitian colleague, Julie Hennessy as we bust through some weight loss surgery myth that may be contributing you to your weight gain or stall after surgery.  Here's what we are unpacking in this episode: Should you eat breakfast every day? Or should I eat small meals each day to kickstart my metabolism? Will my surgery will control how much I eat and types of food I eat? Bypass or sl...

When I was overweight I thought, when I lose the weight, when I'm skinny, I will start dating, I will go for that job, I will studying this degree.  Let me ask you..is there anything in your life that you are putting off until you get there with your weight? No one will judge me when I'm skinny and I will live the life I want to live.  What I now realise and share this with my clients is… People a...
