What to do when you want something but you don’t
On this episode I’m discussing the oxymoron of wanting something but not. For example: I want a clean house, but I don’t always want to clean it. I want to lose weight, but I don’t want to change my overeating habits. I want dinner every night, but I don’t always want to cook it or go get it. It’s like I want it but I don’t. I think this happens for everyone, and it can get so confusing. WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER Why this is happening and what to do about it. What to do when you feel like you’ve lost your motivation. How to figure out what it is…

Diversify Your Joy
Click Here to Listen to this Post A huge part of my pre-weight loss story was simply this: I LOVED FOOD! I mean I LOVED IT!!! I based my whole life around food. It was my entertainment, my comfort, my distraction, my love, and how I connected and bonded with my people. I never thought of food as fuel that was there to sustain my body and keep me alive. I thought of food as joy. So of course, when I started trying to make changes to my eating habits and experimenting with which foods felt best in my body, it felt like all the joy had been taken out…

5 Ways to Have More Body Love
The way we think about and view our body matters. It matters because when we have a positive body image (or what I’m choosing to call body love), we feel comfortable in our body and happy with the way we look. And when we’re comfortable and happy, then we are able to be in tune with what our body really needs (physically and emotionally). We treat our body well and take care of it instead of beating it up, punishing it with strict diets, disordered eating, intense workouts, or overeating in an attempt to numb out all our emotional distress with food. Here are 5 ways you can begin to…

Why Body Love and Weight Loss Go Hand in Hand
There is a wide spectrum of opinions out there. On one end we have those that believe if you love your body you shouldn’t want or need or even desire to change anything about it. On the other end of the spectrum are those that believe you need to shame and hate and criticize yourself to motivate change. That if you’re not a size 0 then you should be. It’s very black and white. Both sides are essentially saying “you can’t love your body and want to lose weight.” It has to be one or the other. Pick a side. My opinion falls smack dab in the middle of this spectrum.…

The Fundamentals of Weight Loss
People assume I’ve always been a naturally thin person. They have no idea that I struggled with my weight for years. I went from diet to diet looking for the perfect one for me. I ran 5 miles a day, 6 days a week in an attempt to run off the weight. NO LUCK! I’d lose some weight but then I’d always gain it all back (plus some). I was tired of the diet roller-coaster. I was tired of having to starve myself, count calories, weight my food, and the massive overeating that happened anytime I just couldn’t hold on anymore. I was trying to make weight loss harder than…

5 Weight Loss Lies That Might Be Keeping From Losing Weight
LIE #1 – YOU NEED TO FIND THE PERFECT DIET This one is a good one. Let’s break it down. First of all, there is no one perfect diet. The truth is all diets if followed perfectly will result in weight loss. However, as soon as you stop following them, you’ll gain all the weight back and usually more. I know for me every time I tried a new diet (and I tried a bunch), it was like one step forward, two steps back. I’d lose, and then I’d gain it all back plus five, then try another diet, lose, and gain even more. I was stuck on what I…
