How many times have you pushed yourself off waiting for the right time?

The “right time” is made up.

There’s no right order of life.

You decide now’s the time to start your weight loss journey.

You clean out your pantry of all the non-diet food and you follow your plan.

You don’t feel very good, but you power through it.

Then, life happens.

You start telling yourself this isn’t the right time, and you start slowly quitting on yourself and you repeat this cycle over and over.

Telling yourself “this just isn’t the right time” is just a way of giving yourself an out.

Fear wins every single time you tell yourself it’s not the right time.

The right time just gives you a reason to stay safe and comfortable.

There is no right time. Ladies, you don’t have to start over or catch up.

If you want to know what to do, listen to this week’s episode of the Weight Loss for Successful Women podcast.

In this episode…

≫[1:26] The socially acceptable order of life.

≫[2:23] What happen...

What are you really craving?

I used food to comfort myself, to soothe myself, and as a filler.

It was just a cheap substitute.

Maybe you’re craving love and acceptance.

You may seek this from others, but you need this from yourself.

What are you really craving?

Ask yourself this question, but don’t be afraid of the answer.

Once you know the answer, then you can decide what to do.

If you’re not sure and not sure what to do about it, listen to today’s episode of the podcast.

In this episode…

≫[1:58] Carrying extra weight is just a symptom of a life you are not creating.

≫[3:46] I used food to comfort myself. I used food to soothe. I used food as a filler.

≫[6:07] Part of this process of losing weight and getting off the diet roller coaster for good is understanding why you’re carrying the weight in the first place.

≫[7:18] If you don’t have acceptance and love and forgiveness and trust and respect for yourself, how can you expect anyone else to give it to you?

≫[7:41]...

There are a lot of folks that have labeled themselves as failures.

They have allowed it to become their identity.

No one is a success, and no one is a failure.

We have successes and we have failures. 

The definition of failure is an event that does not accomplish its intended purpose, lack of success.

Failure is subjective.

Success is subjective too.

Failure is just a decision point.

It’s a trigger to say do I keep doing what I’ve been doing?

Do I try something different?

It just gives us a reason to do nothing.

A reason to quit on ourselves.

To have weight loss success, to get off the diet roller coaster for good, you have to learn how to fail and not quit.

In today’s episode of the podcast, I give you three ways to help you fail your way to all your wins.

In this episode…

≫[1:35] Failure – an event that does not accomplish its intended purpose, lack of success.

≫[1:43] What is success?

≫[2:50] Failure is a decision point.

≫[3:44] No one is a success and no one...

Diet culture is deep.

We have been inundated with the noise from it for so long and it’s everywhere.

It’s on your ads in social media, you hear it in TV shows and by characters and how they look.

We have been socialized on how we should look, what we should think, what we should believe, and what we should do.

Diet culture lacks personalization.

All of the fixes require something external.

It isn’t about changing your internal beliefs and thoughts. It isn’t about reconnecting to your physical hunger.

External things can never solve an internal problem.

I want freedom in your mind. Freedom where you start to notice you don’t think about all the noise and how to tune it out.

In today’s episode of the podcast, I am going to teach you how to find your voice in all this noise.

In this episode…

≫[1:44] Everything you do today is either a gift for your future self or a barrier for your future self.

≫[4:21] All of this noise creates misinformation.

≫[5:13] You can manipulate...

Diet culture has made us believe that we have to exercise to lose weight.

We have been told that we have to work out hard in the gym and for a certain amount of time.

We have started to tell ourselves that we hate exercise and we don’t look forward to it.

I think there’s a different way.

I don’t think of it as exercise. I call it movement.

Our bodies love to move and to be in motion.

In today’s episode of the podcast, I am going to tell you how to reprogram your mind on how to move your body.

In this episode…

≫[5:06] Our bodies were made to move.

≫[5:31] We set unrealistic expectations.

≫[7:24] We do boring things we don’t like to do.

≫[9:15] We set unrealistic goals.

≫[11:23] What to do.

Are you a perfectionist?

Do you think you aren’t a perfectionist because you have failed at weight loss?

We all have this idea about what is perfect. It’s subjective.

We hold ourselves to these very high standards in our minds.

This is the mental weight of weight loss.

We put time pressures and health pressures on ourselves.

We worry about failing and about the shame and judgment that accompany it.

When this happens, we just stop. We become paralyzed.

In today’s episode, I teach you some language around perfectionism and how to overcome diet perfectionism.

In this episode…

≫[3:16] I’m not perfect because I failed.

≫[3:47] Perfection just lives in our minds.

≫[5:18] A lot of my thoughts were just rolling around in my subconscious.

≫[6:24] What does diet perfectionism look like?

≫[7:52] Perfectionism, it’s sabotaging your weight loss efforts because you don’t associate yourself as a perfectionist.

≫[9:18] Change is danger to our brains. Our brains like us to stay the...

One of the top reasons ladies tell me that they struggle with weight loss is consistency.

Is this your struggle too?

We go all in with our goal, and when we aren’t perfect, we start slipping little by little.

We can’t stay consistent and we think we lack motivation.

In today’s episode, I’m going to show you why inconsistency shows up and teach you how to think a little differently when it comes to consistency plus I’ll give you the secrets to consistency in weight loss.

In this episode…

≫[1:31] The new year is just like a mile marker in your life. It’s just the post.

≫[2:13] As you start to think about what you want to do this year, and the goals you want to set, whatever it is for you, starting to be consistent and how consistency shows up for you is important.

≫[3:27] Inconsistency comes from starting and stopping because I’m going to do everything perfectly.

≫[3:57] It’s all in our thinking around it. We develop this belief that we are inconsistent.

≫[4:14] I don’t t...

Have you ever wondered why you aren’t doing the best things for yourself?

All humans have an inner rebel. Your inner rebel can work against your goals and dreams and the best things for yourself.

Your inner rebel is the part of your brain that resists rules, restriction, and external control.

It’s the part of your brain that wants to be in control.

When you start to think that you’re not in control or you feel restricted, your inner rebel can take over.

In today’s episode, I am going to teach you how to make peace with your inner rebel so that you can have real freedom in your mind and body.

In this episode…

≫[1:16] What is your inner rebel?

≫[3:01] Your inner rebel shows up in weight loss through the feeling of deprivation.

≫[3:49] All of us as humans want and crave freedom.

≫[4:18] It’s the thinking around deprivation that brings on the inner rebel.

≫[6:02] You have tied certain foods to “diet” foods.

≫[6:46] Psychological resistance.

≫[7:34] We think that doing th...

I struggled with my weight pretty much my entire life. I started to notice that I was different around eight years old. Other people noticed too and had things to say about it. That led to years of dieting and feeling like my body wasn’t good enough. When you carry extra weight, everyone can see your struggle and you can’t hide from it. It created a level of shame within me.

Shame makes you feel like you’re broken.

You are not broken.

There is a way to start to have more love for yourself and to start to heal your relationship with food.

In today’s episode, I want to share a personal story and give you my take on all the things out there weight loss and diet culture related.

In this episode…

≫[1:46] My personal struggle with weight.

≫[2:57] I believe every human struggles with some sort of buffering.

≫[3:33] I share the story of why I had weight loss surgery.

≫[5:25] There’s a lot of judgement and shame about weight loss surgery.

≫[6:11] It reduces your stomach so that ...

Many of us have a difficult time finding love for ourselves.

Our brain consistently focuses on what is not good and what we are not doing right. Many of us have a lot of self-loathing and it decreases our capacity to love ourselves and to love others.

The outside world says we are to be humble and have humility, so we have internalized those messages to make it mean we cannot celebrate ourselves.

At its core, self-love is a deep and unconditional acceptance of who you are, embracing both strengths and weaknesses.

It involves nurturing a positive relationship with yourself, acknowledging your worth, and treating yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you would offer a cherished friend.

It means celebrating your achievements, learning from your mistakes, and understanding that you are worthy of love and happiness just as you are.

You are enough today and the number on the scale doesn’t change any of that.

In today’s episode, I give you my take on how to find love a...
