34:09

I’m sharing the weight loss game changers today. Real, sustainable, permanent weight loss is rarely the result of restrictive dieting. We’ve all tried a million diets, right?

Ep # 62: I'm Losing Weight Without Feeling Deprived 37:16

27d ago37:16

I've recently had some personal revelations regarding weight loss and wanted to share my journey and insights with you.

Ep #61: How to Stop Overeating (When You Don't Want To) 32:29

1M ago32:29

32:29

Do you feel stuck in the cycle of giving in to overeating and then majorly regretting it later? Maybe you struggle to resist that extra slice of pizza or those last few bites, even when you know you’re full. Resisting temptation can be SO hard. Especially when the siren song of the ice cream in the freezer or those chips in the pantry seems so loud…

Ep # 59: Moving Forward When You're Stuck 29:32

2M ago29:32

29:32

Are you feeling stuck in your weight loss journey? Trust me, you’re not alone. Stumbling blocks, setbacks, and stalls are such a normal (but frustrating!) part of this process. But there’s something BIG that separates those of us who successfully lose weight and stay there for life from those of us who ultimately quit. It’s how we handle three snea…

Ep # 58: Overcoming Emotional Eating 29:13

2M ago29:13

29:13

Emotional eating is one of the biggest blocks to weight loss. Sure, in the moment, it feels like a cozy blanket, but in the long run, it just adds more to our plate, pun intended. Turning to food to shove down our emotions is like putting a band-aid on a broken bone. It doesn't fix anything; it just covers it up. And that can lead to all sorts of i…

Ep # 55: If The Hunger Scale Isn't Working (Common Challenges & Pitfalls) 52:51

3M ago52:51

52:51

If you've been in my community for a bit, you've heard about The Hunger Scale. The Hunger Scale helps you reconnect with your body's hunger and satisfaction cues, so you can stop letting everything outside of YOU (diet fads, meal plans, calorie counting apps, etc.) dictate what you're "allowed" to eat. Instead, the Hunger Scale helps you tune in to…

Ep # 54: The Frustration Trap 31:24

3M ago31:24

31:24

Frustration. It's a powerful emotion that can be hard to feel. But our *relationship* with frustration can transform our experience of it. It's essential to remember that frustration is not a dead end but a stepping stone toward growth. When we feel frustrated, it's a sign that we care deeply about the outcome we are striving for. Whether it's weig…

"When did weight loss feel hard this week?" It's one of the most common questions I ask my clients to help them get to the bottom of their obstacles in weight loss. Here are some challenges I often hear: "I do well until I see something that just looks really good. I know I'm not hungry, I just want it." "The ice cream is calling my name from the f…

31:20

If you’ve been feeling a little “off track” lately, you’re not alone. Maybe you were on an indulgent vacation and you ate and drank all the things (like I did last week!) Or maybe you just got through a holiday season where you took every opportunity to enjoy the seasonal treats you only get once a year. Or maybe you’ve just been kinda checked out,…

Ep # 50: How to Calm Your Cravings & Urges 32:03

32:03

You know the drill: you start each day with the best intentions to "get serious" and "eat healthy", only to have it all come crashing down the second you... crave something gooey or carby instead of that salad you planned. smell those freshly baked cookies someone brought into the office. get stressed out and suddenly the desire to grab the snacks …

Ep # 49: Emotional Eating: How to Stop 35:07

4M ago35:07

35:07

Emotional eating is a NORMAL response to unmet needs or unresolved feelings. There’s nothing wrong with you if you eat to escape your emotions. 🚨But it's crucial to remind ourselves that the relief we get from food is so very temporary. Eating our feelings feels good in the moment. But it doesn’t actually help. In fact, it compounds our problems - …

How do you have an indulgence without blowing your weight loss progress? How do you go for ice cream with the kids, go out to a fancy restaurant on the weekends, or indulge in a spontaneous treat (also known as living your life) without feeling like you’re undoing all your hard work or setting yourself up for a stall on the scale? And how do you sc…

Ep # 47: Changing Your Thinking to Accelerate Your Weight Loss 30:23

4M ago30:23

30:23

Weight loss that is sustainable and permanent is about so much more than diet and exercise. We think we know how to lose weight - eat less and move more, right? But there’s so much more to it than that. Here’s the skill that most of us don’t know (and that diets never address): weight loss happens in your mind first. The way you choose to think can…

There are only four simple things you need to focus on if you want to lose weight this week. I design my coaching program this way for a reason. When weight loss feels like a lot of effort - we don’t do it.

Ep # 44: Feeling "Blah", Off, or Unmotivated 33:53

5M ago33:53

33:53

Let's be real – sticking to your weight loss plan is a breeze when you're on top of the world, feeling energized and pumped. But let's face it, we're not superheroes. Our energy levels and moods can sometimes go up and down like a rollercoaster. Some days, it's like we're powered by rocket fuel, while on others, we're barely chugging along. Some da…

I was at one of the lowest points in my entire life when I found my first coach. I was desperately trying diet after diet and failing miserably at each and every one.

Ep # 41: Breaking Your Overeating Patterns 38:57

6M ago38:57

38:57

Let's face it - lots of us struggle with shame and self-judgment after we overeat. When we overindulge, we often want to gloss over the incident, quickly put it behind us, or hide away in shame. But, here's the truth: that's approach only keeps us stuck in an endless cycle of self-sabotage. It's not the solution. What actually helps us break out of…

35:06

I get it - the pull to start yet another quick-fix fad diet is extreme right now. Especially if you feel like your eating was out of control over the past few weeks or months. Especially if you're unhappy with your weight and your body right now. Especially if you see everyone around you re-joining WW, downloading My Fitness Pal, or swearing off ca…
