Hungry for Love: Lose Weight After Toxic Relationships

You might have some people in your life who tear you down. Who make condescending comments, who scoff and roll their eyes at you, who discourage you from pursuing your goals.  People like to tear down others who are doing amazing things; things they’re too scared to do themselves.  Don’t let it stop you.  Let it FUEL you. Let it FUEL your desire to rise above. But you have to go first. YOU have to...

I don’t know about you, but I’m the type of person who typically thinks, “I can make this work.”  And while this kind of grit and determination can be a good thing in many ways, it can also keep us stuck chasing things that aren’t working.  This can happen with everything, from weight loss plans, to budgeting, to applying for new jobs, or trying a new dating approach.  We are always trying on diff...

Sadly we’ve all been there.  Someone makes a comment about our body, and whether it was intentionally hurtful or not, we make it mean that something’s not right about us.    Maybe you grew up feeling like the chubby kid…  Maybe you were bullied for your size, shape, or weight…  Maybe your battle with food and body is more recent and you just don’t know how to truly solve it.    Body shame affects...

It's a simple question, yet can also feel hard to answer.  Because for most of us, the answer is 'sometimes.'  I do something different this week on the podcast and share more of my own challenges.  It kind of makes me want to puke, which is how I know it's exactly what I need to share.  Let the vulnerability hangover commence!    Ready to end emotional eating and lose weight for life? Schedule yo...

Non-scale victories are ESSENTIAL!  One of the biggest reasons is that they keep us focused on what IS working and how we’re improving and making progress, regardless of what the scale is doing that particular week.  Ultimately this builds momentum, keeps us feeling proud, and enjoying more of the journey.  Keep listening and I’ll share more of what they are and why they’re so important.    And wh...

Most of the time when we set goals, we’re not just excited to reach them, we’re in “hurry up and get there” mode.  Because "there" is better than "here."  You might be taking action, but it's coming from a place of urgency and not-enoughness, which often means it's coming from a place of punishment.  Making peace with your body, just as you are right now, is one of the hardest parts, but it's also...

By the time we hit June and July, our new years goals are often long behind us. But not because we’ve hit our goals, but because we’ve given up on them.  And this is the key problem - you keep trying to lose weight in a vacuum.  You shut out everything and everyone around you for a couple weeks, maybe even a couple months, and go hard-core, all in…  But it’s not real life, so it doesn’t last.  You...

Have you ever woken up feeling guilty about what you ate the night before... so you decide to run longer, workout harder, try to cut calories or carbs, maybe skip breakfast in order to "make up" for it?  Not only is this a bad habit I had for years, but many of my clients have done it, too.  You've got to stop punishing yourself for what happened, and instead LEARN from it (which means you need to...

One of the most common questions I get asked about is how to get back on track when you haven't been sticking with your plan.  The real secret is that it's 75% what you’re thinking and 25% what you’re doing. In this episode, I break down a simple process to getting back on track faster.    And if you feel like you're eating pretty healthy, exercising, but still not seeing the results you want, you...

The key to weight loss is in the power of micro-decisions, NOT big, sweeping changes. The new year often brings a renewed energy and drive towards certain goals, especially if you failed to hit them in years past. But it’s this ‘all or nothing,’ and ‘go big or go home’ approach that leads to burnout and eating disorders… Ask me how I know. This week we’re focusing on the power of micro-decisions,...

You can’t “action” your way into a new “you,” b ecause everywhere you go, you bring your old thoughts, patterns, and core cravings with you.    Instead of focusing on the new "you" as a smaller version of yourself, let's make the new "you" the type of person who: 1. Has a healthy relationship with food. 2. Loves yourself and your body now (even if you want to change it). 3. Believes in yourself so...

One of the most common self sabotaging thoughts is: “ What if this doesn’t work for ME?”     This shows me a couple things, but in particular a Fear of Failure.    This is 100% NORMAL; however, continuing to believe this thought will always hold you back.    Join me on today’s episode where I’ll share what this thought really means and how to overcome it.    And when you’re ready to dive head firs...

While there are 4 key steps I teach for sustainable weight loss, I can't overemphasize the importance of creating safety to lose weight.   Safety physically: your body has enough food, water, sleep, and other physiological needs met, so that it's safe to release weight.   Safety emotionally: you can try new things that don't work out, and trust that you won't verbally / emotionally beat yourself u...

Welcome to a brand new series:   3 Simple Steps to Lose Weight for LIFE (whilst eating the foods you love!) ;)   One of the most common problems people come to me with is that they can lose weight... but then it always finds them again. They're tired of losing and regaining the same weight over and over again.   They're tired of being in a perpetual state of needing to lose 10 or 15 pounds.   They...

As we come up on the end of March, it's a great time to check in with yourself about the first quarter of the year. Our brains are GREAT at looking for everything that's going wrong or getting in the way... BUT, the key to success is to evaluate your results (with compassion and curiosity), instead of stewing in shame and judgment, telling yourself you just need to "try harder." Join me today as I...

Most of my clients have one struggle in common: they’re either all in or they’re all out.  And the root issue actually stems from perfectionism and a misunderstanding of what's truly required to achieve your goals. And I promise you, being perfect is NOT required. Listen to today's episode to find out what is.   And when you're ready to break free from emotional eating and lose weight for life, I...

I’ve recently had people ask what type of plan they need to follow in order to feel “motivated” all the time.  The reality is they’re looking for how to be consistent, not necessarily how to feel motivated. Tune into today's episode to hear how you can create the life and body you crave, without always needing to feel "motivated" to do the things.

One of the key (albeit underrated) aspects to losing weight and keeping it off for life is changing your Self Concept.    This means changing how you think about yourself and what’s possible at a very core level.    If you fail to incorporate this step into your journey, you will always gain the weight back, because the thoughts and habits never became an ingrained part of who you are and how you...
