Hungry for Love: Lose Weight After Toxic Relationships

It’s Self Love month here at Body You Crave, and this week we’re diving into redificing your value & worth.  For many of us, we try to earn or achieve love, praise, or worthiness from our accomplishments.    The problem is that it often leaves us:  Striving for perfection - always needing to do, earn, and achieve more - yet never feeling good enough.    We mistakenly think losing weight will h...

Self Love.  It’s the #1 missing piece you need to hit ANY goal!    It allows you to create radical self acceptance…  Catapult your self trust, so that you truly have your own back…  And cultivate a deeper sense of self compassion.    These are just a few of the things I stand for as a woman and as a company.    Join me for today’s episode where I share more about my core values and how you can see...

Have you ever noticed it’s a lot easier to start strong than to finish strong?    One of the biggest issues is that we run into obstacles or challenges, we might “fall off the wagon,” but all we ever do is “try harder” or attempt to “do better.”    But this never works, because all we end up doing is trying to control our circumstances, and that never lasts long.     You see, habits change when yo...

The purpose of a goal is NOT specifically so that you can achieve it.   I know, it sounds completely counterintuitive!    But while the goal gives us direction and a target to aim for,    The real value is in who you become on your way to that goal.     How many times have you lost weight in the past, but then gained it back?    That’s because you didn’t change how you thought about food, yourself...

The key to success isn’t about making fewer mistakes - it’s about getting back on track faster .   This means you need to identify the thoughts and emotions that tend to derail you.    Getting back on track is only hard for 2 reasons:  We’re trying to do some bullsh*t diet where we feel deprived and missing out on life, or What we’re making it mean that we got off track to begin with.    In this e...

I love the new year.  New beginnings, a fresh start, things just feel so possible. The challenge is this often leads to making big, sweeping changes that aren't sustainable. I see this ALL the time in the diet / fitness industry. There are cleanses and detoxes, 30 day challenges and commitments to run more and eat less. But most people don't need massive overhauls. They need simple 1% shifts that...

Sometimes... life gets crazy.   Wether it's the holidays, travel, changing jobs, moving houses, life will always throw us curve balls.   But that doesn't mean your goals have to fall by the wayside until life "calms down."   In fact, that's often what hoses us.   We're so used to life having to be a certain way in order for us to make progress or take action, that we don't know how to show up for...

Want to drink less this holiday season?    First, you have to stop judging yourself.    Second, you have to get curious and compassionate about what’s truly going on underneath that desire to drink.    Stopping at 1 drink doesn’t have to be hard; we just typically only know how to do it from a place of punishment and restriction (which never works long term).    Ready to change your relationship t...

While the holidays are often filled with lots of love, laughter, and excitement,    When it comes to weight loss, It can also be a time of fear, anxiety, and stress.    I used to breathe a sigh of relief every January when I made it through the holidays, without gaining weight.    But it came at a price.  Constantly thinking about food, what I could or couldn’t eat, what others might think or say...

Many of us go into weight loss with fear, urgency, and this desire to lose weight as fast as humanly possible.    We look at what moves the scale tomorrow , but not what’s sustainable to keep the weight off a year from now.    This is “Hustle Weight Loss,” which has you losing then regaining the same 30, 40, 50 pounds every year.    But there’s another way to create sustainable weight loss, withou...

Halloween is coming and that means candy will be out in full force everywhere you look for the next 3 months.    BUT, that doesn’t mean you need more willpower to survive.    Candy and eating candy is never the problem.    The REAL problem is that you eat it, beat yourself up for eating it, then think " screw it I already ruined my diet today - might as well keep going now ."   Today’s episode wil...

As we head into the last 3 months of the year, with holidays coming, food, family, travel, big emotions, and more, it can be easy to throw in the towel and resign yourself to “starting over” in January.    But don’t!    Don’t throw away the last ¼ of the year when you can still make so much progress!    It’d be like running a 1 mile race and then deciding to walk off the field when you have just 1...

What if the way to lose weight and keep it off was actually to eat the cookie…    No, this isn’t a ‘magical’ cookie.  There’s no secret fat-burning ingredients; it’s not low-fat, low-carb, or low-sugar. It’s a regular cookie.    Keep listening and I’ll show you how.    If you’re ready to lose weight, without sacrificing your favorite foods, holiday traditions, or time with family and friends, then...

You can’t hit your goals if you’re always trying to fit your big hopes and dreams into the cracks of your life, only giving yourself the leftovers.    And yet this is the norm for so many women.    Everyone else gets first dibs on your time, energy, money, etc. and you get whatever’s leftover at the end of the day or month… and typically there isn’t anything.    This episode isn’t just about food...

Your success in life is largely dependent on your ability to figure stuff out when sh*t hits the fan.    We can have the best of plans and intentions, but when an obstacle arises, how quickly do we throw in the towel instead of pivoting and looking for how we can still make things happen?    This isn’t just a weight loss skill - it’s a LIFE skill.    Tune in to this week’s episode where I share mo...

For many of us, we’ve struggled to lose weight and then keep it off.    Weight loss has felt hard, daunting, like running up hill in the mud wearing stilettos.    Which is why I want to talk about how we can intentionally make it EASY and EFFECTIVE.    Tune in to today’s episode where I’ll share:  The 3 key areas we make weight loss harder on ourselves.  How to make those 3 key areas easy, yet eff...

The ‘2 Bites Behind’ concept is simple.    Eat what you would normally eat, but leave 2 bites behind instead of cleaning your plate.    But even though it’s simple, it won’t always feel easy.    Why?   Because you have thoughts that fly in direct competition with your desire to lose weight or leave those two bites.    Thoughts like:  I have to clean my plate.  I don’t want to waste the food.  I do...

This summer we’re digging into some of the most common excuses and justification to eat when you’re not hungry and to overeat.    This week, we’re diving into the #1 most common excuse that keeps us eating and overeating…   The thought: “it just tastes so good!”    Here’s the thing - we want to be able to eat food that tastes good without sabotaging our weight loss goals or maintenance.    The pro...

Have you ever sat down at the end of the night and thought about food, even though you weren’t truly hungry?    It doesn’t seem like there’s a “real” reason for wanting the food - you just want it.    This is one of the most common excuses I hear when it comes to eating when you’re not truly hungry.    Don’t worry - that’s exactly what this podcast will help you solve!    You’ll learn:  The 3 root...

Most diets are designed to take food away, especially the food that tastes good.    We moralize food, making it good or bad, and then we moralize ourselves based on what we ate.    How many times have you thought something like: “I was so good and only ate a salad at lunch.”  Or “I was so bad and ate pasta last night at dinner.”   These are the kind of diet rules that set us up for diet trauma, be...

I'm talking about another feeling today that is essential for success in your weight loss journey…    Pride.    So often, we miss out on feeling proud of ourselves as we’re taking action, creating new habits, or learning from our mistakes, because we’re reserving the feeling of ‘pride’ for once the journey is over.    Once we hit the goal, THEN we can feel proud.    I’m here to challenge you to st...
