Register for my FREE 5-Day training (June 6-10) to Learn 3 Simple Steps to Start Losing ALL the Weight - https://www.losingalltheweight.com/3simplesteps-training. Do you find yourself always searching for the quickest way to lose your weight? Probably - I know that’s what I thought I wanted to find.  In fact, I was captivated with that TV show The Biggest Loser - you remember that one?  They’d have a handful of contestants competing to lose the most weight over a short period of time. Do you also know most of those contestants end up re-gaining all their weight and then some?  A study showed the rapid weight loss they experienced created permanent issues with their hunger hormones and metabolism that led to the weight coming back. Even gastric bypass patients struggle keeping the weight off.  The Mayo Clinic says only 40% maintained at least a 30% weight loss after 12 years.  The problem is they went for the quick-fix and never learned the lifestyle to keep it off. Bottom-line is even though we think we want it to happen as quickly as possible, rapid weight loss IS NOT how we lose our weight for GOOD.  15 pounds in time for the wedding, maybe?  For good?  Uh no, afraid not. So I have a simple question for you today - SO WHAT? SO WHAT if it takes you some time to lose your weight.  ESPECIALLY when you know you’re doing it in a way that will last. Think about how long it took you to gain the weight – even baby weight.  Why do you think you should lose it in a matter of months? The truth is being focused on how quickly you can lose your weight is actually making your struggle harder and increasing the length of time it’s going to take you.  Don’t believe me?  Think about how many times you’ve tried losing it quickly…now think about how LONG you’ve been wanting to lose weight. In this podcast, I show you how you can start thinking about this differently and all the amazing benefits that brings with it.  If you’re serious about wanting to lose your weight for GOOD, then you don’t want to miss this one.

I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say I needed more willpower. I also wish I knew how wrong they were when they told me that, because that would have saved A LOT of wasted effort and heartache on my journey to end my weight struggles. So that’s exactly why it’s so important I share this with you today. More willpower is NOT where your power comes from.  The truth is you never have more than a limited supply of willpower because that’s acting against your will - your thoughts and feelings - and God didn’t design us to be able to do that for very long. You know where you can find true power that never runs out?  By learning how to enjoy your journey. Do you know how it’s possible to actually enjoy your journey?  By making small shifts that create more empowering feelings. Here’s a life-changing truth.  EVERYTHING we do is motivated to make us feel better. If what you’re doing – like restrictive diet actions not aligned with the life you want to live – leads to you constantly feeling bad, miserable or somewhere in-between, then guess what?  You’re not going to keep doing them. Sure you might be able to generate enough willpower to keep going for a few weeks especially if you have some success and wins along the way…BUT I promise you it’s not going to last if those feelings don’t change. Soon enough you’re going to be searching for all the reasons to change what you’re doing so you can start feeling better.  That usually leads you right back to the actions and habits you had before you started.  And that’s a problem because they aren’t leading you to where you really want to go. Feelings are what drive our actions.  Always have been and always will be.  When you understand this, you can apply this to your journey by learning how to generate more feelings that are going to keep you on the path you want to be on. That’s how you learn how to enjoy your journey - and that is what makes it possible and so much easier to stay on it until you get to where you want to be. Join me to learn more and understand how to create feelings that will take you where you want to go.

Losing your weight starts with a shift. A shift towards higher quality thoughts.  A shift towards actually believing it’s possible for you. Do you truly know what you’re thinking right now about your ability to lose weight?  Do you have that awareness? The truth is it’s probably not good.  You’re probably thinking things like “I’m not sure this is possible”, “I don’t think this is EVER going to really happen” or “I just can’t do this”. Those beliefs crush your dreams, they steal your ability to lose your weight…and you probably don’t realize how much you’re having them. One big problem is diets focus all our attention on taking actions.  And taking actions in a way that usually ends up harming our belief in ourselves more than it helps. The truth is our thoughts and beliefs are creating our results, NOT the actions we take. That might seem hard to believe but it’s true. You see without higher quality thoughts, without believing it’s possible for you, then you’re never going to have the ability to actually take the consistent actions to get you there. The great news is you can change this. You can make this shift.  You can take steps that help you think differently and strengthen your belief this IS possible for you. Even if it’s just a baby belief, it will make a BIG difference. Join me to learn how because this is where real and lasting weightloss ALWAYS starts.

Most results come from focusing on the fundamentals. What if I told you I could teach you 5 fundamentals to weightloss that together solve all the big problems holding you back? Oh - and they are simple, doable, easy to understand and overflowing with common-sense. Here's the funny thing that our excess weight - and all our thinking about our weight - drives us to do. We keep searching for new solutions and keep trying harder, more complicated things when we've never learned how to be consistent with the simple things that will solve our problem. That's like struggling with basic math and thinking taking Calculus is the answer to that problem. Here's an idea before you go out looking for the next big thing - change that. Commit instead to learning fundamentals that are easy to fit into your lifestyle so you can actually be consistent with them.  See what that leads to. Give that time to work its magic through the compounding of small wins and all the amazing strategic by-products it brings. Like belief, confidence, a new level of trust in yourself, and the willingness to grow yourself in ways you haven't been before. Give yourself that gift because chances are it's the only gift you'll need.

God’s design for our human body is simply amazing. Did you know we have little messengers that allow our brain and stomach to talk to each other and provide signals when we’re physically hungry and when we’ve had enough? Unfortunately the way we’ve been taught to eat and the foods available to us today can make it really hard for these guys to do the job God intended for them. And when we’re not in touch with them and they’re not working properly, it creates this self-perpetuating cycle of over-hunger that drives us to continually eat more than we need to. This is one of the primary causes of our extra body weight. The good news is a little understanding combined with some intention and focus can get us back in touch with our physical hunger cues and help us correct this problem. Join me and let me show how this is possible for you!

Do you know why you have urges and cravings for certain foods but not others? Do you know why you eat when you’re not even hungry? Do you know why you can’t control your food? Understanding this is an important step to being able to see and change your patterns so that YOU - and not your food - can be in control. There are 2 primary reasons we struggle with food:  over-desire and over-hunger. I teach why and what you can do about it in a way that makes sense and is easy to understand You see you have to learn how to treat the actual underlying causes of what’s creating your weight - rather than just treating the symptom like diet rules do. For example, diets tell us to just stop eating all of our favorite foods - how sustainable is that? Following restrictive food lists doesn’t work - not if you want to create a lifestyle that keeps your weight off for good. Learning how to decrease your over-desire and over-hunger is a sustainable solution - and you don’t have to experience all the struggles from trying to say good-bye to your favorite foods. Join me as I show you how this is possible for you!

Doing LESS is how we learn to lose weight living a life we love. Do you go BIG with your weightloss attempts only to wonder what the heck happened when you're right back where you started a few weeks later? Going big might work in some areas of your life - but with weightloss it's a losing strategy. Yet that's what most of us do - time after time after time.  And the lack of any real, sustainable results can be crushing. The answer?  DO LESS!!! Now there's a weightloss strategy you don't hear very often.  But that's too bad, because it's the one that will help you learn how to lose weight the way you want to live your life. It's the one that works for LIFE - and not just the next 3 weeks. Doing less is the key to losing more!  Join me and learn how to unlock this in your life. Learn and get curious about: Why we feel like we have no choice but to go BIG to lose weight Why that never works the way we think it should How doing less is actually the key to unlocking our ability to lose more How to start doing this in your life

Do you know the ONE thing most of us continually underestimate in our life?  The power of our mind-body connection. We literally have the power to use this to change ANYTHING in our life but what do most of us find ourselves doing day after day?  Repeating the same failed patterns of our past. Unlocking this power in your life is vital to changing that and discovering real and lasting weightloss.  This is what’s going to move you past your failed patterns and create new daily habits and routines that moves you to take action on what matters most in your life. This isn’t about having to master your inner zen.  This is about figuring out how you can harness this power to work FOR YOU rather than AGAINST YOU. Every day is filled with a large number of choices - we’re constantly deciding between what matters most vs. what’s easiest or most pleasurable in the moment. How are you making those decisions?  MINDFULLY or MINDLESSLY? Here’s what I finally discovered after years of ignoring this.  It was possible to create simple, doable habits that were easy to fit into my life so I made those decisions mindfully most of the time. And that was a huge turning point in my journey - and I know it will be in yours too.  That’s why those same habits and routines form the foundation of my Losing All The Weight program. Let’s learn and get curious about: The power of our mind-body connection 3 big connections that impact your weightloss journey How this helped me overcome my Doritos addiction How God shows us He made us this way

We jump from one diet to the next because we’re convinced that’s how we’ll finally find the perfect HOW that’s going to lead to losing all our weight. News flash!  This is not HOW to find real success on your journey.  It’s that dark and lonely path littered with all the struggles and heartbreak that come from our vicious cycle of starting and stopping again and again. Why?  Because no one knows your perfect HOW that’s going to lead to you losing ALL your weight - not me, not you, not even Oprah or Dr. Phil. There is one HOW you really need to be sure you know though… And that’s the HOW to get started right. And this is actually the one HOW that I know is perfect for you - do you know what it is? I’m pretty sure it’s going to surprise you.  I’m also pretty sure that if you’re struggling with your weight today, you’re NOT using this HOW. You’ll learn and get curious about: The most powerful way for you to get started right Why our human brain’s resists change How past - and future - failures make everything harder How you implement this critical How in your life

Do you wonder why it’s so easy for you to follow your diet when you start but it’s really hard after just a couple weeks? Because diets are NOT a lifestyle.  So many of the things they tell you to do are not aligned with the life you want to live. This means your capacity to do those things diminishes greatly the moment you’re no longer excited about them. I’ve spent most of my life struggling with all the things the world’s diet culture taught me to do.  I even became a certified coach teaching diet culture to other women. Here’s the ah-ha moment I had a couple years ago.  The lifestyle I was finally able to figure out for myself - the one that allows me to keep my weight off AND live the life I want to live - actually rejects most of the concepts and activities diet culture teaches us. So it became my mission to figure out how I can teach this unique approach to weightloss in the easiest, simplest way possible and then to start sharing it with you. Because let’s be real - dieting sucks.  It’s either telling you to do things you don’t want to do or telling you you’re a failure because you’re not doing those things. And let’s be real about something else - dieting and struggling your life away is NOT the life you want to live.  It’s also not the life God wants you to live. My approach shows you how to lose weight the way you want to live your life (doesn’t that sound nice :-) ).  This approach takes my 25 years of diet struggles, turns them on their head, and shows you how you can lose your weight without losing your life or your mind. Let’s learn and get curious about: Why diets don’t lead to a life we want to live. My story and struggles with diet culture. How diets fail us over and over again. How my common-sense approach to losing weight is so different from diet culture.
