#128, What Does Food Hold You Back From?

You’ve heard the saying, right? That for every “yes” you say in life, you are also saying no to something else. So, what are we saying yes and no to when we comfort ourselves with food? This single concept might have you doing some serious double takes from that box of doughnuts or that extra large fries the next time you are having a hard day.

#127, Power Your Weight Loss with H2O

Does the idea of having to drink 8 or more cups of water feel like a daily impossibility? You have good intentions, but when bedtime rolls around you are far short of the recommended number of H2O oz. This shouldn’t feel like a chore and it definitely should not feel so difficult. There are many things you can do to bring success into the hydration equation.

    #126, How Art Can Cut Down on Emotional Eating

    #126, How Art Can Cut Down on Emotional Eating

    The last time you felt stress drag your body to the fridge or pantry, how intense was the feeling? Was it a vague discomfort you had felt most the day that seemed to gradually increase? Was it a sudden onslaught of overwhelm? Maybe a combination of the two? That’s a terrible feeling and I don’t think the solution should be based on will-power not to emotionally eat. Instead, you need to release that feeling or else something is going to give. And you probably won’t like the results.

    #125, Is Your Eating Plan Too Restrictive?

    As I coach women, it is so common for them to struggle on the weekends or late at night. And back in my own yo yo diet days, I remember being so frustrated with how I would epically blow it. But the solution is surprisingly so fun.

    #122, Prepare Quickly for a Special Event and Look Your Best

    Have you ever received an invitation in the mail or looked at your calendar and realized that you only have a couple weeks (or less) to physically prepare for a special event? Maybe it is an anniversary party, or a school event, an office party, a birthday party, or a wedding. You want to look and feel as good as you possibly can, but of course you’re not going to be at your goal weight by then. So what do you do?

    #121, Get Real! No More "Starting Monday"

    Isn’t it easier, sometimes, just to forget what you’ve been doing when it comes to your diet and habits and instead just say that “Starting Monday” we’re going to magically be amazingly healthy? How is that working out for you? When we do that we end up side-lining our efforts quickly. Instead, let’s get real with ourselves and figure out what is going on.

    #120, Living on Bread Alone

    Do you ever feel like the devil literally throws something in front of you and challenges you to eat it? I mean, it isn’t going to kill you. You deserve it. You’ve had a hard day. And, it isn’t a sin to have that brownie, eat that massive bowl of chicken alfredo, or dive into the doughnuts. Well, my love, let me congratulate you on being human and assure you that the temptations won’t stop coming, but you can get exceptionally good at taking steps that move you away from what you know doesn’t serve your body or your goals.

    Do you just want to transform your world NOW? Uh, yeah, me, too. If there was a button we could push that made us smarter, kinder, more successful, and more financially sound we would be on that thing in a heartbeat. But, things don’t work that way because we have too much to lose if we miss out on the experience of working for it. Today we’ll be talking about how to stay in your fight for change for the long haul and why that is important.

    #118, Believe It’s Possible

    #118, Believe It’s Possible

    I’ve helped women who come to me so defeated. Turning to my coaching and my program feels like a last ditch effort and their belief that it is possible is slim. I understand. They tried so many things, so many ways, for so many years. But, if you were walking down the street a couple thousand years ago, would you have touched Jesus’ cloak and believed you could be healed? Or, maybe you don’t think any healing is necessary and you place the blame on the lack of self control and a weak will. My sister, healing IS possible and believing is jet fuel for the most epic change you might ever experience in your physical and spiritual life.

This is way more powerful than people realize and not that hard to put into practice.

    Sweet sister, have you ever looked at your bank account, or the number on the scale, or your house, or  your email inbox and felt overwhelmed at how far you have left to go? Oh, yeah, me too. It can be a moment where you just want to tap out, take a momentary break from the fight. That’s fine, but if you wallow you will find that getting up and into the fight again can take monumental strength. I see this often in women that take a break from trying to lose weight and when they decide to get back into it, they are farther behind than before. Today I am giving you the pep talk of pep talks for the moment you feel like you just can’t do it anymore.

    If you have made it this far in the game and still feel like you are staying committed to your holiday weight loss or maintenance goals or simply honoring your body with those good choices, then you will still want to listen to this episode. Also, if you feel yourself on nutritional rocky ground these days then really pay attention to what we talk about today. In this episode I am going to break down two things you can do that will help you make wise choices at the Thanksgiving Day Table without leaving you feeling like you're in diet prison. This isn’t just an important concept for Thanksgiving, either, there are many food-centered gatherings from birthday parties to get-togethers with friends that will find you leaning toward choices that neither serve your body nor your plans.

    I have been there, too. Lunch comes around and I stare at the wonderfully packed over-night oats I brought to work. I distinct voice in my head says: “I don’t want to.” and I’m overwhelmed with longing for a candy bar or something loaded with salt and grease that would make my heart happy (just not very healthy). I tend to panic, needing my brain to be on board with my choices or else french fries and chocolate bars will soon be shoved in my mouth. 

    So what do you do when you just don’t want to? I’ve got some great ideas for you. This is going to be a fun one.

    I have so been looking forward to having this conversation with you. Right now, in our monthly challenge within Weight Loss from the Soul, we are taking a break from our trigger foods in order to regain some perspective on how those foods affect our brains and bodies. The next step though can be even harder, especially for my sweet sisters who have been putting themselves in ultra restrictive diet prisons for several years or decades: how to plan and enjoy treats.

    #93, The Nasty Dirty Thoughts that Keep Us from Self-Care

    By now you might be totally sold on the concept that taking better care of yourself mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically will help you lose weight and keep it off. But then, right when you could be/should be doing that very thing, a nasty little thought pops into your mind, completely derailing you, throwing you off course, and taking away your enthusiasm to cultivate your health. Ugh! Well, girlfriend, you are not alone. I’m going to give  you a peek into my mind today and give you some weapons to clean up the talk in your head so that you are giving yourself the thoughts that are going to fuel your change.

    #92, Do You Want Freedom Around Food?

    #92, Do You Want Freedom Around Food?

    Desperate during COVID to reign in my emotional eating, I started looking for help. It was then that I stumbled upon Dr. Katrina Ubell’s podcast on weight loss for busy physicians where she asks her listeners if they want freedom around food. I was like, “YES! Duh, but is that even really possible?” Turns out it really, really is. On this podcast today I’m going to break down the three basic principles around finding freedom in your mind and body around food. Dr. Katrina Ubell and Resources: https://katrinaubellmd.com/

    #91, The Secret to Progress with Less Pain

    The journey to permanent weight loss is hard. The journey to any weight loss isn’t easy. Nor is it simple to get in shape or cultivate habits that protect your emotional health. But, about half-way through a run the other day I had a revelation that let peace flood my soul.

    #90, What Do You Do When You Reach Your Goal Weight?

    In this episode you are going to get an up-close and personal look at my weight loss journey ad how I’ve reached a point of weight maintenance. I think that over the twenty-ish year that I dieted I probably reached my happy goal weight at least a dozen times. It was like an end zone or finish line. I’d see the number on the scale, wink at myself in the mirror, and lay down all the good habits and processes that carried me to my goal. This had to stop. When I reached my goal weight back in 2020 I learned some fascinating things about what it meant to stay at that happy weight as part of a life-long process.

    How many of you are driving cross-country this summer? My little family and I are doing this and so are many of the women that I work with. Grazing as a means to pass the time while the countryside passes outside your window is a common practice, but if this is one you would really like to ditch, stay tuned because you are truly going to benefit from what I have to say in this episode.

    #86, Setting Up a Successful Weight Loss Summer

    So last year was my first summer off since going back to teaching and to be honest, I didn’t prepare for what that would be like when it came to my eating. This year, I’m ready. If you're a teacher like me or anyone who finds yourself in a transition period or season of change, I’ve got some ideas that will seriously encourage you in your weight loss or weight maintenance season.

    #85, Can You Stop Using Food to Fix It?

    It’s 7:00 pm and the time is ticking down until I can put the girls in bed. I’m exhausted and there is still so much to do. I’ve had a truly long day and everything in me needs a break-body, mind, heart, and soul.  However, I can’t stop. Micaela needs her meds and her cares done. Adela has a thousand things to share. The sink is heaped with dishes and the buzzer just went off alerting me that I need to switch laundry loads and pair up socks. The pressure builds and my feet take me to the pantry where I reach my hands into a bag of trail mix.

    So, Yes, I’ve had this plan the last couple weeks to get myself all beach-body ready. I only have a few weeks and time is crucial…and yet teacher appreciation week and day has also been upon me. As this season comes and goes, I want to touch on the subject of others loving us and trying to support us by giving us offerings of food.

    #83, Angry Eating

    #83, Angry Eating

    During one of my group coaching sessions, a client admitted to me that she over-ate out of anger. I remember being a little surprised. Angry eating? That was a new one. We talked it over, diving a little into what was going on for her and what she could change, and then I kinda forgot about it. Little did I know that several months later I would be in tears, realizing that I was in a cycle of eating out of deep emotional anger. Do you angry eat or do other kinds of emotional eating? It’s going to get raw today, girls, but this topic is overdue.

    #81, Befriending the Bathroom Scale, Part 2

    A lot can happen in a couple seconds. For me, stepping on that bathroom scale used to mean I was either eating cake that day or would be skipping an extra meal. Or worse, I might give in and give up, frustrated that my hard work didn’t seem to be paying off. My love, if this sounds like you, I have some solutions…

In the next few moments I would be given my verdict: good or bad, winning or failing, broken or whole.
