BEE #124: Is It Consistency or Perfectionism?

BEE #124: Is It Consistency or Perfectionism?

It can be exciting to set a goal for yourself that you really want to achieve, and when you start to see progress towards reaching it….nothing can be more rewarding. 

But have you ever felt yourself starting to obsess about wanting to achieve something? I’m talking the “can’t stop thinking about it all day and night" kind of thinking. When does it cross the line from being a healthy pursuit of a goal, and it moves into perfectionism?

This week’s episode of The Breakthrough Emotional Eating podcast I discuss emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy mindset when striving for a goal, and avoiding self-destructive behaviors associated with perfectionism. 

Is it consistency or perfectionism? You will learn:

  • The distinction between consistency and perfectionism lies in the mindset one adopts while working towards a goal.

  • Consistency involves being reliable and steady in behaviors, whereas perfectionism entails setting excessively high expectations for flawless performance.

  • Consistent progress is gradual and acknowledges setbacks as part of the journey, while perfectionism leads to self-criticism and unrealistic standards.

  • Strategies for adopting a healthier mindset include setting realistic goals, focusing on progress rather than perfection, learning from setbacks, practicing self-compassion, and controlling perfectionistic thoughts.

  • Ultimately, prioritizing self-care and recognizing when perfectionism becomes detrimental are crucial for achieving sustainable progress and avoiding negative emotional patterns like emotional eating.

Do your emotions influence your food choices? 100% they do! If you have ever found yourself elbow deep in a carton of Ben & Jerry’s after a fight with your partner, you know this to be true.

Why does this happen?

In this week’s episode of The Breakthrough Emotional Eating podcast, I’m diving into the impact of emotions on our eating habits. I will break down why we crave certain foods when stressed, sad, or lonely. From the psychological comfort of positive memories to the brain's release of dopamine and endorphins, we unpack the science behind the allure of comfort foods.

In Part II, I’ll talk about how food becomes a quick escape from emotional discomfort, acting as a distraction or even a temporary numbing agent. We also break down the role of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine in influencing our mood and pleasure. 

The episode wraps up with practical tips for healthier coping strategies, encouraging mindfulness, emotional expression, and stress reduction techniques to replace using food as the go-to emotional crutch.

So, if you've ever found yourself reaching for that tub of ice cream when stressed or feeling a bit down, this episode explains why it happens and offers some practical tips to build a healthier relationship with food and emotions.

BEE #117: Weight Loss Her Way (Interview with Shawn Johnson)

BEE #117: Weight Loss Her Way (Interview with Shawn Johnson)

Something I hear from people who are interested in doing my program, but are hesitant..."I just don't think I have time to attend the meetings and post in the group. It just seems too much of a time commitment."

And I get that.

Meet Shawn....

Shawn is a member of The Breakthrough Membership and she decided when she joined that she was going to do the program in a way that was going to fit into her busy life.

She is an esthetician and has a full schedule of clients, and posting in the group and attending meetings just wasn't going to work for her.

In this week’s podcast, Shawn outlines specifically what she did to stop dieting, end her cycle of binge eating, and lose 45 pounds in 9 months.

If you want to change your life, sometimes you have to take a chance and trust yourself and others. Trust me when I say that the program I have created will change your relationship with food, and with yourself.

BEE #116: Roller Coasters and Weight Loss....The Power of a Why

BEE #116: Roller Coasters and Weight Loss....The Power of a Why

Motivation is a tricky thing. 

Some days, you don’t need anything to get you to stick with your meal plan, or get outside to take a walk, or to ignore the birthday cake that is sitting in the break room at work. 

But then there are other days…..days when you just want to throw away all of the hard work you have done and end up face first in a tub of Ben & Jerry’s. 

So what do you do on those days? How do you turn it around and stay committed to your long-term goal?

You must know your WHY.

And let me be clear…..it shouldn’t just be one why but instead, it should be an arsenal of whys that keep you focused and moving towards your goal.

What makes a good why?

Anything that provides encouragement, incentive, and direction so you can move through the hard days and get to the end goal. 

On this week’s podcast, I am talking to Julie, one of my long-standing clients who has been a guest on the podcast before. She has been incredibly successful and this week she is going to let you in on the why that has been her motivation to lose weight and although she still is not to her final goal, her why is continuing to drive her in the right direction. 

So what is Julie’s why?

It involves tracks, corkscrews, and chocolate.

Her story is so inspiring…..you don’t want to miss it.

Julie has lost over 90 pounds in The Breakthrough Membership and she is not stopping. She has learned to listen to her thoughts, knows that she does not have to do anything her thoughts tell her to do, and that she she can eat a lot less food than she used to (but foods she loves) and lose weight. 

The Breakthrough Membership is not a weight loss diet, it is a lifestyle program that results in weight loss and positive feelings about yourself. It is not a “get thin quick” type of thing….it is only for those people who really want to take a deep look at how they think and feel about themselves, and how that is impacting the choices they are making with their food.

BEE #106: Is Shame Keeping You From Your Weight Loss Goal?

BEE #106: Is Shame Keeping You From Your Weight Loss Goal?

We have all had it happen to us….

You go into a lunch, dinner out with friends, or a TGIF with colleagues with the best of intentions…you have been following your plan and feeling really good about your progress, and the scale is showing that this is working.

But at some point during your event, your mind wanders and suddenly you realized that you have had way more drinks than you intended and have eaten so far past satisfied that you don’t think you could recognize it if it came up and introduced itself to you.

Sad, frustrated, disappointed, and angry you return home that night and proceed to eat everything in your home, and you fall into bed feeling sick and disgusted with yourself.

Now here’s where the fork in the road appears…..do you wake up the next day and get back on track, or do you destroy yourself with shame and this stops being a one meal slip and transforms into a five day binge that results in a gain of six pounds?

The key to losing weight and then keeping it off in maintenance is the decision that is made in that moment.

If you are like most people, you take the road that leads to The Shame Cycle, and results in feelings of low self-worth and humiliation. This one slip could turn into a ten pound gain and a depression that is hard to recover from.

In today’s podcast, I am going to discuss how to identify when you have fallen into The Shame Cycle after a slip, and how to get yourself back on track and feeling good about yourself.

You will learn:

  • The stages of the Shame  Cycle
  • Why having a community of like-minded supporters is so important when wanting to address emotional eating and losing weight.
  • How to break-free from the cycle and come out of it feeling even better about yourself than before

Learn how The Breakthrough Membership can assist you in getting yourself back into your eating groove and help you maintain belief in yourself even when things happen that disrupt your peace.

Understanding The Shame Cycle and how to get yourself out of it as quickly as possible after a slip is the key to continuing your weight loss progress and keeping your weight off.

BEE #105: Stop Avoiding THIS and Lose Weight For Good

BEE #105: Stop Avoiding THIS and Lose Weight For Good

The diet industry wants you to believe that if you just change what you eat and move your body a little bit more,  you will be able to lose the excess weight you are carrying around. And yes, that might happen but I can promise you that it will come back because the underlying reason that you gained the weight in the first place wasn’t addressed.

In Breakthrough Emotional Eating and The Breakthrough Membership, that is what we do…..we seek to find the hidden reason that you gained the weight, address that, and then go about losing the weight for the last time.

After working with hundreds of clients over the last five years, I have determined what that “thing” is that you are doing that results in overeating and weight gain, and in this week’s podcast I address it head on.

What do you need to stop avoiding in order to lose your excess weight and keep it off forever?

The answer is quite simple yet very complex….

Discomfort.

In this week’s podcast I break down why everyone needs to get comfortable with being uncomfortable instead of using food to avoid feelings that make us feel vulnerable, scared, and weak.

You will learn:

  • Why your brain tells you to avoid these feelings and emotions at all cost and why you  believe it
  • How avoiding feeling badly directly impacts your emotional eating and your weight
  • The steps you need to take to get yourself comfortable with feeling uncomfortable and how to begin the process of losing your weight forever

Today’s podcast is a game-changer because once you learn that you do not have to overeat to feel better and avoid the bad feelings, weight loss becomes so much easier.

To learn more about how to implement these concepts into your life in order to lose the weight you want forever, I have created my monthly membership, The Breakthrough Membership, to guide you through the process of understanding your brain and how it creates the thoughts that lead you to avoiding the uncomfortable emotions, and how you can change your own thoughts and start thinking, feeling, and acting in a way that will lead to a healthy relationship with food and the weight loss you desire.

BEE #103: The 5 Keys To Being Successful In The Breakthrough Method

BEE #103: The 5 Keys To Being Successful In The Breakthrough Method

For the last three months, I have provided new members to the Breakthrough Emotional Eating community on FB with a guide to follow in order to start following my program for emotional eating and weight loss. It has been incredible the number of members who are posting, participating, and losing weight.

It’s super exciting but I felt that it was important to provide members with just a bit more guidance on how to maximize their success in the program, and as a result, today’s podcast was created.

I want to share with you what I believe are the 5 keys to being successful using the Breakthrough Method of weight loss and emotional eating management, and get ready because these are like nothing you have ever seen when it comes to guidelines for success in a weight loss program.

And that’s because the Breakthrough Method is so different.

Instead of focusing on macronutrients, exercise, and food groups, the Breakthrough Method wants you to focus on:

  • Emotions….it is called emotional eating after all
  • Stop punishing yourself by making this a diet; it is a lifestyle
  • Eating foods you love instead of making yourself miserable with “diet foods”
  • Watching the words you are saying about yourself
  • Staying connected to your support system to get you through rough patches

All of these are vital to remember but life just sometimes gets in the way and makes it really tough to remember exactly what you are supposed to be doing.

When it comes to your emotional eating and weight loss, you can keep going on your own, or you can find a guide…..someone who can help you get to where you want to be.

And that’s why I created The Breakthrough Membership….to be there to guide, support, encourage, educate, and inform you with exactly what you need to do to move forward in your management of emotional eating and weight loss.

No more guessing, instead your path is created and laid out for you to follow so your success is practically guaranteed. You have to show up and do the work but no more guessing what that work is.

If you are ready to take the next step and lose the weight you want and feel amazing around food, click here and learn how you can become a Breakthrough Woman.

BEE #101: The Power of Positive Self-Talk for Emotional Eaters

BEE #101: The Power of Positive Self-Talk for Emotional Eaters

On this week’s episode of the Breakthrough Emotional Eating podcast, I’m going to discuss exactly what self-talk is and how to take positive control of it.

You’ll learn:

  • The difference between self-talk and affirmations and why it matters
  • How to pay attention to how you’re interacting with yourself and stop beating yourself up
  • What the ramifications are for NOT getting control of your inner critic

We just finished the free Breakthrough Your Brain Challenge in my Facebook group (https://membership.kristinjonescoaching.com/fp/breakthrough-your-brain-guide) and it was a huge A-ha moment for so many women who participated. Together, we covered the five fundamentals everyone needs to understand to stop emotional eating. Each fundamental built on the previous one, and it was so cool to see women grasp the “big picture” of why they turn to food for comfort and how to stop it. Check it out if that sounds like something that you need!

BEE #097: The Five-Day Break Through Your Brain Challenge for Emotional Eaters

I’m hosting the challenge in a pop-up Facebook group! That means the challenge will be hosted in a private facebook group that’s dedicated solely to the five-day challenge. So, if you don’t like Facebook groups, this is perfect for you because it only lasts as long as the challenge. There is no long-term obligation. (And it will be easy to navigate through the content since it will only be about the challenge!)  

I will go live for 5 days straight beginning on September 19th in the pop-up Facebook group for small, focused instruction. You’ll learn at a much deeper level what’s holding you back regarding:  

➡️ Your relationship with food 

➡️ How you interact with food 

➡️ How your brain impacts your eating and weight loss 

➡️ Why the brain is such a powerful force for change and how to harness that power to lose weight for good  

Registration for The Five-Day Break Through Your Brain Challenge opens on the 12th. Click here to sign up! Did I mention it’s totally ✨F R E E✨?  If you’re ready to understand what’s behind your weight gain, how to manage your cravings and your lack of control around food, and why people go back to bad habits, this free five-day challenge is for you!
