January 29, 2019 07:00 - 28 minutes - 13.3 MB

Your body is truly amazing. Regardless of what you think of it (and loving it is the right response, regardless of size!), your body is a very impressive machine. It can do lots of incredible stuff. It knows a lot of important things, too. It is very wise! Wiser than you realize. But are you listening to it? We’re so used to listening to the cacophony that our brain produces that we often can’t hear our bodies’ messages over that din. But I want you to learn how to listen to your body....

How did the holidays go for you on the eating front? Did you overeat, or did you approach the holidays from an abundance mindset?

December 25, 2018 07:00 - 13 minutes - 6.18 MB

It’s that time of year when people are overeating holiday food like it’s their last meal! At the same time, they’re planning on starting a new diet after New Year’s Day. Many have gained weight over the holidays from overeating. You know the thinking. “Gotta tank up on eggnog because who knows when I’ll get to drink it next.” Do people really believe they can only have these foods at Christmas and there’s nothing good to eat and drink the rest of the year? Many people will attempt the la...

You’ve got the urge. You really want to eat! But you aren’t hungry. It’s okay. It’s normal. It doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you.

EP 42--The 2 Purposes for Eating

December 11, 2018 07:00 - 13 minutes - 6.19 MB

Why do you reach for food? Because you’re hungry? Because it’s there? Because you like the taste? To help you relax? Feel nurtured? To improve your mood? There are a number of reasons why people choose to eat.

EP 41 - What You Need to Know About Night Eating

December 04, 2018 07:00 - 18 minutes - 8.6 MB

Do you eat at night after dinner? I mean, after you’ve had a good dinner and you aren’t hungry? If you do, have you thought about WHY you’re choosing to eat? In my Facebook group, Ditch the Diet Tribe, some of the reasons I’ve heard include: My husband and I watch TV and snack after dinner I feel mildly hungry around 9-ish, and am afraid that if I don’t eat, I’ll wake up in the middle of the night starving and won’t be able to sleep I crave sweets at night and sometimes binge on t...

EP. 40: 8 Ways to Manage Family Comments About Weight & Eating

November 27, 2018 07:00 - 18 minutes - 8.37 MB

It’s officially the holiday season, and for many of us that means eating meals with family members we don’t see all the time. For some of us, that’s a great blessing. For others, it can be a curse. Have you been subjected to inappropriate comments at the table with your extended family about your weight? Your choice of food? Or how much you’re eating? As a weight coach, I repeatedly hear  from my clients that they have family members who make comments like this. Some people come from fam...

EP 38-How to Quiet Your Inner Mean Girl

November 13, 2018 07:00 - 14 minutes - 6.68 MB

How often do you criticize yourself in a day? You know what I mean--the voice of that inner mean girl who finds fault with how you look or what you do. Maybe the voice reminds you that you “shouldn’t” be eating something, or that you’re too fat to wear skinny jeans. That you’ll never lose weight. That you’ll never find love. You have no self control. The list is endless. We all have an inner voice that chatters pretty much nonstop, and sometimes it can actually be helpful. For some peopl...

EP 37- How to Deal with the Urge to Eat When You Aren’t Hungry

November 06, 2018 07:00 - 20 minutes - 9.36 MB

Do you have difficulty dealing with the urge to eat when you aren’t hungry? Do you think the feeling of food in your mouth is comforting? Are you in the habit of using food as a pacifier when you aren’t hungry? Do you like to snack while watching TV after dinner? There’s no problem with food being comforting. The problem is eating when you aren’t hungry. When you eat when you aren’t hungry, your body stores that energy as fat. That’s how you gain weight. How attached are you to y...

EP 36-Why You Need More Pleasure in Your Life that isn’t from Food

October 30, 2018 06:00 - 14 minutes - 6.6 MB

Do you make time for pleasure in your life? I’m talking about pleasure from sources that don’t involve food. One of the reasons so many people are overweight and have difficulty dropping those extra pounds for good is that they allow food to be too big a source of joy in their life. Consequently, they rely on food and don’t develop other sources of pleasure.   For some people, food is their main source of joy. While food is certainly pleasurable, and as foodies, we love food, it is not h...

Do you feel frustrated in your weight loss efforts because it seems like you keep making the same mistakes over and over? Have you vowed a million times to stop doing certain things, like continuing to eat even though you’re full, or snacking after dinner or eating too many sweets, but you keep doing them anyway?

EP.33 - 21 Mantras for Weight Loss Success

October 09, 2018 06:00 - 12 minutes - 5.77 MB

Does your brain make lots of excuses for you to eat when you aren’t hungry? Excuses like, “I had a hard day and deserve this” or “I’ve been so good all day”? If you’re an emotional eater or anyone who eats when they aren’t hungry, your brain has no trouble finding plenty of reasons for you to do this. Yet as long as you keep eating when you aren’t hungry instead of dealing with your emotions in a healthy way, you won’t reach your weight loss goals and keep the weight off. We might no...

EP 31- Stop Associating Food with Sin and Guilt!

September 25, 2018 06:00 - 12 minutes - 5.85 MB

Do you consider certain foods “sinful?” Do you ever said anything like, “This chocolate mousse cake is so sinful!” After you eat those “sinful” foods, do you feel guilty? Do you call certain foods “guilty pleasures?” Have you ever wondered why you feel guilty about eating food? In this episode, I encourage you to take a different approach. It’s time to stop blaming the food. You see, the problem is not the food. Food does not have the capacity to sin. Food is not doing anything e...

EP-30 Overeating is a Symptom, Not the Problem

September 18, 2018 06:00 - 13 minutes - 6.49 MB

Do you beat yourself up for overeating?  Do you think you’re weak or inadequate because you binge on sweets or believe you can’t control yourself around food. You aren’t. You don’t lack willpower. You probably have gobs of willpower which you use to do things like build a successful business, or motivate yourself to cook dinner for your family when you’re exhausted after working hard all day. Overeating is not the problem. It is a symptom of something else in your life that is causing ...

EP 29-Do You Overeat to Avoid Wasting Food?

September 11, 2018 06:00 - 10 minutes - 4.87 MB

Were you cajoled into eating everything on your plate because your parents led you to believe there was some value in being a member of the Clean Plate Club? Or maybe you were encouraged to eat more than you wanted because somehow by doing that you were helping starving children in China or Appalachia. Or you were supposed to eat everything on your plate because unlike them, you should be grateful you had food on your plate! Now that you’re an adult, do you still feel compelled to eat ev...

EP-28 Do You Think You're Too Busy to Lose Weight?

September 05, 2018 16:31 - 10 minutes - 4.81 MB

  How many times have you said to yourself--or others-- something like, “I really want to lose some weight, but I just don’t have time right now!” or “I’m too busy to lose weight!” I’ve heard it many times from people who say and even believe they really want to lose weight. Some know they needto lose weight because of serious health issues like prediabetes. When you say that, what does it really mean though? What is the real reason you aren’t losing weight? Listen to learn the ans...

EP-27 How to Measure Your Progress and Not Get Discouraged

August 28, 2018 05:00 - 17 minutes - 8.07 MB

This week’s episode is super important because I’m talking about why it is necessary to stop approaching this process of changing habits and losing weight from the perspective of your former dieter self. As long as you keep looking at it from that perspective, you’re going to get in your own way and not succeed. Here’s why. Changing your relationship with food and eating means you have to get rid of a bunch of old habits that you might not even realize you have, and establish a bunch of ...

EP-26: Road Blockers and Role Models

August 21, 2018 06:00 - 13 minutes - 6.27 MB

Are there people in your life who seem to want to sabotage your efforts to lose weight and develop a healthier relationship with food? It could be a relative or a friend. Maybe a coworker. Your mother? Have you had the experience of people saying things to you like: You’re no fun when you’re trying to lose weight. You’ll look older if you lose weight. What do you mean you don’t want a piece of MY birthday cake? Oh, come on. You can eat that! If you keep doing that, you’ll develo...

EP 25-Dealing with Common Social Eating Situations

August 14, 2018 06:00 - 11 minutes - 5.58 MB

Eating is a very social thing. We plan events of all sizes around it. Parties. Weddings. Holidays. Meeting your friends for lunch. Eating is so social that some people actively dislike eating by themselves. How many of you would not walk into a restaurant alone, even if you’re traveling by yourself? Today, I’m talking about social eating outside of your home. In those situations, like when you go out to lunch with a group of friends, or you’re at a party--do you eat differently than wh...

EP-24-10 Stories That Stop You From Dropping the Weight

August 07, 2018 06:00 - 13 minutes - 6.33 MB

What stories do you tell yourself that keep you from finally dropping your extra weight? Maybe you don’t realize it, but we all have our little stories. Things we believe about ourselves and our relationship with food and weight loss. Stories that we have believed for so long that we don’t even question them. But what if you did question them? I bet you’d find out that most--and maybe all of them--aren’t true! When you stop believing those stories, you can clear your path to lose weigh...

EP-23 Why Fat Talk Harms Women and How to Stop It

July 31, 2018 06:00 - 13 minutes - 6.6 MB

Are you a fat talker? You heard that right. No, it isn’t a typo. What I mean is —do you talk to other women about how fat you feel or about other women’s weight? Like when someone says, “Wow, I look like a beached whale in this dress!” Or, “No way I’m going to the beach. No one’s going to see me in a swim suit.” Or “Can you believe she wore that outfit? She doesn’t exactly have the figure for it.” If you answered “no” to my original question, you’re either in a tiny minority of w...

EP 22-To Lose Weight, You Must Learn to Love Yourself

July 17, 2018 06:00 - 12 minutes - 5.94 MB

Learning to love yourself is an important step on the weight loss path. Think about this: no one is born hating their body. When you were a baby, you were a rotund little thing, weren’t you? Everyone thought you were so cute! We can change how we think about our bodies and ourselves. And we must do that. We must love ourselves as the path to a healthier body.

EP 21-Eating and the Law of Diminishing Returns

July 17, 2018 06:00 - 9 minutes - 4.38 MB

You’ve probably heard of something called the Law of Diminishing Returns before. If you’re an economist, you know it well. In a nutshell, it essentially means that the value or enjoyment we get from something starts to decrease after a certain point, regardless of how much of it we have. It can also mean the more you experience something, the less rewarding it becomes. For example, think about the difference between how productive you are if you work 5 hours a day versus 15. I bet you ...

EP-20 - The First Question to Ask Yourself if You Want to Lose Weight

July 10, 2018 10:00 - 6 minutes - 3.29 MB

You think you want to be slimmer, and maybe you even have a number you’d like to see on your scale. Yet you struggle with diets and your weight isn’t going down. It may be going up. What’s the problem? Have you ever thought about WHY you want to lose weight?  This isn’t a trick question, but if you’ve been unable to succeed, it is likely because you don’t  know why you want to be lighter in the first place. Knowing why is so important for your focus and motivation. Because let’s face...

EP- 19-Five Ways to Improve Your Digestion AND Lose Weight

July 03, 2018 10:00 - 11 minutes - 5.26 MB

Eating mindfully is the single most effective way to lose weight and to maintain a healthy weight throughout your life. Studies have shown that mindful eating is associated with less impulsive eating, less overeating, and healthier choices for snacks.  All good things, right? But did you know that it will also eliminate many digestive problems? For many years, I suffered from chronic excessive gas and stomach aches. I was overweight, and gaining more weight because I was overeating. I wa...

EP-18-Change Your Beliefs to Change Your Body

June 26, 2018 10:00 - 14 minutes - 6.82 MB

What unconscious beliefs do you have that are keeping you from losing weight? What would you think if I told you that your unconscious beliefs might be a big reason why you haven’t been able to lose weight and keep it off? Some pretty smart people have said some pretty smart things about your beliefs and thinking. Teddy Roosevelt said, “Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” Mohandas Gandhi said, “The mind is everything. What you think, you become.” Yet every day, I hear people...

EP-17: 20 Alternatives to Afternoon Snacking When You Aren’t Hungry

June 19, 2018 10:00 - 10 minutes - 4.88 MB

Are you someone who snacks a lot in the afternoon, regardless of whether you’re hungry? If you are hungry, there’s nothing wrong with having an afternoon snack. I am often hungry around 4:00 p.m., and because I believe in honoring my body’s signals, I will eat a snack or small meal. Have you ever thought about WHY you snack? A lot of people snack in the afternoon out of habit. They don’t think about whether they’re hungry. Eating a snack is part of their routine. When we have habits,...

June 05, 2018 10:00 - 11 minutes - 5.39 MB

  How many times have you decided that on Monday, you’re going to start a new diet and things will be different this time? How many times have you started that diet and quit before you reached your goal? When you start a new diet, are you all excited and hopeful about it? You know, before you have to deal with the reality of the unnatural way of eating, the hunger or the deprivation. Maybe you’re looking for some kind of easy magic solution and hope this will be the one. At first, yo...

EP-14: Where are You in the Four Stages of Weight Loss?

May 29, 2018 10:00 - 13 minutes - 6.38 MB

What do you think about being able to eat whatever you want AND ending overeating at the same time? Some people think these are two totally inconsistent things. Some say, “If I ate whatever I wanted, I’d never stop eating!” How you react depends on where you are along the weight loss path. This week and next, the podcast focuses on the long and winding path of becoming a naturally thin person and losing the weight for good.  If you think this isn’t important, I urge you to think again....

EP- 13 Why Avoiding “Forbidden Foods” Keeps You From Losing Weight

May 22, 2018 10:00 - 14 minutes - 6.73 MB

Do you have lists of foods you consider “bad” and “forbidden”? Are you afraid to have certain foods in your house because you believe you can’t resist them? Do you fear that if you allow yourself to eat these foods, you won’t be able to stop? Would it surprise you if I told you that it is precisely because you forbid yourself from eating those foods that you can’t control yourself around them? This sounds like you, this episode is for you! To be able to trust yourself with any food...

EP. 12 - Time to Ditch the Diet and the Diet Mentality

May 15, 2018 10:00 - 14 minutes - 6.89 MB

You’ve probably read it a million times. Diets just don’t work. Only around 3% of dieters actually lose weight and keep it off!   To put it another way, uncontroverted research PROVES that 97% of people who try dieting won’t lose any weight or will gain back whatever they lose within 2 years. Most gain even more weight. Yet every day, ridiculous numbers of people start a new diet! You’ve heard the definition of insanity, right? Doing the same thing over and over, but expecting to get a dif...

EP-11-Being Willing to Feel Some Discomfort

May 08, 2018 10:00 - 13 minutes - 6.07 MB

Do you eat to avoid feeling negative emotions? Have you ever considered what would happen if, instead of soothing yourself with food, you decided to feel that emotion that makes you uncomfortable? What about those difficult situations in our lives that we can’t change? If we don’t eat, what do we do to feel better? In this podcast, we explore two kinds of discomfort: The kind you get if you eat whenever you feel bad about something difficult in your life but you aren’t hungry. Th...

EP-10-Managing Your Thinking to End Emotional Eating

May 01, 2018 10:00 - 14 minutes - 6.7 MB

Do you eat when you feel guilty? Scared? Sad? Anxious? Stressed? Whenever you want to eat, the first question to ask yourself is always, Am I hungry? If the answer is yes, go for it! Sit down and enjoy something you love. The harder part is when the answer is no.  You want to eat, but your body doesn’t need food yet. That’s what this podcast is about. We’ll explore:  Why you want to eat when you aren’t hungry  Why eating doesn’t solve anything and can actually makes you fee...

Ep-9-Why You Don’t Need Willpower to Lose Weight

April 24, 2018 10:00 - 9 minutes - 4.4 MB

In Episode 8, we talked about how, when we're born, our bodies are finely tuned to tell us when we need nourishment. Those of us who are overweight or even many people who aren’t mess up that natural intelligence. I’m going to help you get yours back! Every time you obey that urge to eat when you aren’t hungry, you are overeating. From your body’s perspective, it doesn’t matter whether you give your body too much food by eating for emotional reasons or just not stopping when you’re lig...

Ep-8-The First Step Towards Ending Emotional Eating

April 17, 2018 10:00 - 10 minutes - 4.96 MB

When you were a baby, you would get hungry and cry. Then your parents or caregivers fed you. That is how human hunger is supposed to work. You feel a physical sensation of hunger, which means your body needs fuel, and you eat. You stop when you aren’t physically hungry anymore. You give your body as much fuel as it needs and no more. But how many of us actually still do that? We’ve been so conditioned to use food to avoid dealing with negative feelings, and to try to fix things besides...

Ep-7-Becoming a Mindful Eater

April 10, 2018 10:00 - 11 minutes - 5.41 MB

Does this sound familiar? You start off Monday morning determined to eat better. You’re going to finally lose those extra pounds. You’re going to listen to your body. You’re not going to overeat. By the end of the day, however, things didn’t go as planned. It’s not that you decided to give up or just not bother. You just weren’t paying attention. Despite the best of intentions, the next thing you knew, you ate too much of that overstuffed hummus and veggie sandwich, then grabbed a ha...

EP-6-Are You Ready to Lose Weight for Good?

April 03, 2018 10:00 - 9 minutes - 4.78 MB

It seems that most women I know say they really want to lose some weight. That’s not just because I’m a weight coach, either. I’ve noticed it for a long time. Maybe they want to lose just a few pounds, or the “last 10.” Or maybe 50 or 100 pounds or more. But thinking you want to lose weight and actually being ready to make it a priority in your life are two totally different things. Not everyone who wants to be lighter and healthier is ready to do the work and make the commitment to them...

Ep-5-The Four Different Ways of Eating

March 26, 2018 21:16 - 13 minutes - 6.41 MB

If you’re a foodie, eating delicious food is a pretty important source of pleasure in your life. Food should be delicious, right? No food should be totally off limits. You don’t need a snake in the Garden of Eden to tempt you when you tell yourself you “can’t” or “shouldn’t” eat certain foods. That just makes you want it more. You want to both live to eat AND eat to live. The road to making peace with food and being able to enjoy it without overeating requires us to acknowledge that ...

Ep-4-The Difference Between Head Hunger and Body Hunger

March 20, 2018 10:00 - 12 minutes - 5.56 MB

Do you ever think things like: There’s nothing to do. Let’s see what’s in the kitchen. OR I feel lonely. Some cookies will help me feel better. Last week, when I discussed the Hunger Scale in Episode 3, I was talking about physical hunger. But what do those thoughts have to do with that? So many people confuse their thoughts about wanting to eat with their body’s true hunger signals. But here’s the thing. If you want to lose weight and keep it off, it is really important to lea...

Ep-3-The Scale You Need is the Hunger Scale

March 19, 2018 18:14 - 11 minutes - 5.45 MB

I have a great tool to share with you use to determine when to start and stop eating.  It’s called the Hunger Scale.   The hunger scale is about your body’s hunger levels. When your brain tells you it wants food but your body isn’t hungry, that’s what I call “head hunger.” We’ll talk more about head hunger and how to deal with it in Episode 4.   The hunger scale starts at number 1 which is ravenously hungry, and goes to number 10, which is really stuffed.   Learn how to use the H...

Ep-2-The Real Reason People Are Overweight

March 08, 2018 18:34 - 11 minutes - 10.4 MB

When I was 50 pounds heavier, I believed that I didn’t eat that much. I didn’t think I ate more than the slim people I knew and I thought it was unfair that they were slim and I wasn’t.
