Ep. #56: My Family Makes it Hard for Me to Lose Weight

Dec 30, 2024

I know that some of you really believe that losing weight is hard or even impossible because of your families. Maybe you cook for your entire family and don’t want to have to eat separately, or you have treats in the house for your kids, or maybe you have a friend who always brings over sweets or chips or pizza.

You might believe right now that you simply can’t have the urge to eat all those things, and ladies, I was in the same boat. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve cleaned out my entire pantry so I wouldn’t overeat, and today, I want to show you that there’s really a different way, my loves.

Join me this week as I lay out three common scenarios that my clients share with me about losing weight and their families, and how you can work around each of them without completely drowning in self-pity. Learning this mindset work is going to help you live your best life full of real pleasure, without food being at the center of everything.

And here are this week’s transformational q...

Ep. #55: The Reality of Food

Dec 30, 2024

Have you ever bought a weight loss program or started following a plan where you didn’t enjoy the food? I’m going to guess this happened every time you started a new diet because this was definitely my experience. As much as you might think you love food, the reality is that you’re probably not truly tasting it, and this is what dieting has done to us.

Paying attention to the food we eat is the path to getting off the diet roller coaster for good, and this means learning to reconnect with your body. Following someone else’s plan of what’s ā€œhealthyā€ is leaving you disconnected from whether you’re satiated or even enjoying what you’re eating, and slowing down to identify what feels good to you is going to be transformative.

Join me this week as I show you two ways to start reconnecting with your body. The reality of food is that it feels different to each and every one of us, and exploring how food fuels you and trying different foods will mean no longer subjecting yourself to restr...

Ep. #54: I’m So Scared I Won’t Follow Through

Dec 30, 2024

I recently received an email from a beautiful lady that just touched my heart. She shared with me that she wanted to join Transform and start losing weight, but she was scared she wouldn’t show up for herself. If you’ve ever been on the diet roller coaster, you can most likely relate to this fear, and if so, this episode is for you.

Over the decades that I was trying to lose weight, I had been sold all the things, tried all the methods, and failed so many times that I just didn’t trust myself anymore. I’d broken my commitments to myself over and over, even while I was implementing the work that I’m now teaching you ladies. But I’ve learned a few things that I know will help you.

Join me this week as I share 3 things that I’ve learned since getting off the diet roller coaster and began maintaining my weight loss. It’s so normal to lose all trust in yourself and struggle to keep commitments, but love, you do this for everyone else in your life, so it’s now time to do it for you.

Ep. #53: What You Feel Right Before You Give Up

Dec 30, 2024

What’s one emotion that has come up for you on your weight loss journey this week? I betĀ overwhelmĀ is up there, and you might even be feeling it right now. It’s an emotion that can really derail us if we don’t know how to work with it, so today, I’m showing you how we react to it and what you can do instead.

There are so many resources available to us when we start losing weight that it can be overwhelming. But overwhelm leads you down a path of staying stuck, and you end up quitting on yourself yet again. I’m showing you a different path today because overwhelm doesn’t ever have to stunt your success.

Listen in today as I show you why overwhelm so often derails us on our weight loss journey, and how it’s a prelude to quitting. I’m sharing three things you can do when you feel yourself getting overwhelmed, so you can keep going without quitting or starting over.

I know you ladies can all relate toĀ plateausĀ on your weight loss journeys.

Sure, it can be frustrating and sometimes baffling when the scale doesn’t move, even when you’re doing everything right, and I see so many ladies falling into the trap of self-sabotage. We have to first understand why plateaus happen to stop this cycle, and I’m sharing it all here.

Ep. #47: The Downfall of Comparison

Dec 30, 2024

Comparison is something I think we, as women, can really relate to on a deep level. We’ve been doing it for a long time; comparing our bodies, our lives, our jobs, our partners… I mean, the list is endless. I’ve been doing some research on this topic and I was astounded to see the stats, so today, I want to help you figure this out.

Ultimately, comparing yourself to someone else makes you feel like you’re not good enough or that you’re not doing it right. Doubt and fear start to creep in, and loves, this needs to stop if you want to lose weight for good. I had to notice every time I was doing it on my own weight loss journey, and I’m inviting you to do the same today.

Listen in this week to discover how comparison is sabotaging your success. Every time it happens, your joy and happiness are being taken away by the thoughts that you should be farther along, but practicing the questions I’m laying out for you today will help you become a boss of your own weight loss journey.
