#134, Weight Loss While You Recover From Surgery
One of my favorite people in the whole world underwent some significant surgery as she battles cancer. Her recovery will be long and take more than one procedure. A surgery can be a serious interruption whenever we are on a weight loss journey. But, don’t fear, there are some incredible things you do during this period that not only prevent you from losing ground but can actually give you a significant boost of success during this time.

#131, 5 Ways Daily Decompressing Will Help You Lose Weight
Most of us are awake for over sixteen hours a day and we just go and go and go. We push ourselves so hard and then are bewildered when we break down and give in, willing to do whatever we can to release pressure and give ourselves a break. That often means giving in to food that will bring us a little pleasure and take the edge off the incredible stress we feel knowing we still have several more hours to get through the day. Well, sweet sister, let’s discuss breaking this cycle with a simple investment of time that will significantly raise your quality of life and keep you successful in your weight loss.

#130, The Barrier Before the Food
Without even realizing it, your feet walk you to the pantry. Like a sleepwalker, you reach out, open the door, and grab the package of oreos. You have a couple but find that they are eaten so fast that before closing the door you sneak a few more. Eek, a little crazy how quickly and without much thought it feels like we start eating food. So, what do we do about this?

#129, Mini Habits That Support Weight Loss
Losing weight and getting healthy can feel like a really big job. It is easy to feel swamped by all the things you need to change and do. Then, a few days of a family emergency or an emotional funk can throw us off leaving us with the feeling that we need to start all over. Okay, so there is a better way to do this and we are going to talk about that today.

#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
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.

#124, Set Yourself Up for Success with Routines
Do you ever feel like there are a million things you are supposed to remember every day in order to live that healthier lifestyle you envision? I hear you. In every aspect of our life, we grow in health when we cultivate positive habits. Lucky for us there are some simple ways to set ourselves up for success without feeling overwhelmed. And, one of those ways is with a daily routine.

#123, Proactive Choices vs Reactive Eating
Have you ever gone out on a Friday night and ended up eating and drinking way beyond what you would have liked? Then, you just feel frustrated and broken and defeated. You wonder if you’ll ever be able to handle a night out without behaving like a maniac around the food and beverages. Well, sweet sister, this is definitely an overdue conversation. Let's have it today.

#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.

#119, Your Timing in Weight Loss
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
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.

#116, How Physical Environments Affect Healthy Choices
If you feel like you could really use a hand keeping things under control with your eating as the Christmas season heightens, let's talk about your physical environment, the part of your home or work space you have some control over. This is way more powerful than people realize and not that hard to put into practice.

#115, Hang in There
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.

#111, Make a Plan for “I don’t Want to”
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.

#110, My Favorite Hacks for Accepting Food Gifts and Enjoying Them Without Paying the Price on My Waistline
The holidays aren’t just loaded with activities and social gatherings that come with all our favorite foods, we are also usually given food items as gifts. In fact, I remember growing up here in rural New Mexico, we had tons of neighbors and friends giving us food. We received anything from tamales to wrapped sweet breads to tins of chocolates. There were definitely items that we looked forward to each year and there was no way I was going to turn down that experience. I still look forward to those gifts. I love enjoying them, giving honest compliments, and giving my own offerings of sweet treats.
The question becomes, how do we accept food gifts, enjoy them, and still stay healthy throughout the holidays. I’ve got some great hacks for you today.

#109, Setting a Specific Weight Loss Goal for the Holidays
Yes, we’re a couple months or so from the time when new-year’s resolutions are going to be posted all over the internet, but as we enter into the holidays, this is the perfect time to set some goals for how we would like to handle the next couple months of celebrating. So, with this in mind, I’m going to talk to you today about how specific goals are powerful and how you can create them.

For just a couple dollars and a few minutes you can harness some serious health and habit changing power, without even breaking a sweat. Interested. I hope so.

#106, Don’t Be a Jerk; Plan Treats.
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.

#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/

#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.
