How To Get Over The Obstacles in Weight Loss

-
Welcome to Mindful Weighs Wednesday.  I was recently speaking to someone who was telling me a story about how he lost 70 pounds in the last 5 months.  He looked great - I had to know how he did it.  He told me he changed his lifestyle, and had a compelling reason, therefore was able to accomplish his amazing change.

His compelling reason was the fact his doctor told him he was one pound away from facing weight loss surgery for health reasons.  He informed the doctor the next time he was seen he would be down in his weight, and he stuck to that statement.  He had a compelling reason to change his lifestyle, and in changing his current beliefs about his weight, he accomplished the weight loss.  A compelling reason will give you a powerful and irresistible effect toward a course of action.  It is your no matter what reason to accomplish you goals.  Take some time today and really consider your reason.  What will make it inevitable for you to lose weight?  Do you want to do it for your health, or as an example to your kids, or maybe you just want to look good in your bikini come July vacation - whatever it is make sure it is a really powerful reason for you.  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Having a compelling  reason will help you when your brain pretends to be confused.  Recently a gal was telling me she didn’t know where to start - a new exercise program, beginning a new way for food shopping and prep, or organize her time differently.  See what happens here - your brain pretends to not know what to do, and so you do nothing.  Don’t allow that.  Your compelling reason will get you over the obstacles as they arise.  So remember your reason, make a decision on what to do, and go after it!

How To Stay Out Of Grab-Ass Trouble

I was recently talking with a girlfriend who is in the process of checking out Match for some dating options.  She had a lot going on in her brain, and it had me thinking what marriage, weighing less, or drinking less, have in common.  Being married to one person decreases the chatter in your brain and gives you a lot of freedom with the constraint.  You have committed to that one person - you don’t have to deal with any Tinder swipes, or Match parings - the marriage has taken place, and for the most part, people just honor that commitment. Now - when I talk to clients about setting a protocol for food or drinks there is initially some confusion over what is meant.  Think of a protocol similar to a marriage in that it is a contract, or plan, you are honoring - a commitment to yourself as you move towards your best life.  We set protocols for eating and drinking in order to decrease the chatter of - should I have it, or - I should not have had that, or -...

Are Other People Judging Your Drinking?

May I have all my people pleasers step forward - this is for you.  I think so  many of us care what others think - and often  to the point that you do and act in ways you really don’t want to - but you think if you do they will like you. Here’s what I’ve learned - it doesn’t matter what you do - people are always going to have their own thoughts about you. And if you don’t believe me - think about this -  Have you ever been given a compliment you didn’t really believe or accept because you didn’t think you looked that good?  Have you ever been in an argument and the other person apologized but you didn’t think they were serious and remained angry? Or maybe been on the other side where you apologized and the other person was still angry? So you did and said what you thought was going to make them feel differently - but they didn’t - because they still had their own same thoughts. Not everybody likes peaches right? You could be the juiciest peach ...

Better In the Trash Than on Your Ass

Welcome back to Mindful Weighs Wednesday where we discuss weight loss topics and tools to create the best you. I was recently listening to another weight loss coach who mentioned the food was better in the trash than on your ass.  Of course I chuckled, but it is so true.  Growing up we were always told to finish what was on the plate, but in our large portion society we have to sometimes waste food in order to stay at our ideal weight.   We hate to waste right? But if you are carrying around the extra weight as fat on your body isn't that a waste?   Think about the commitment you have made to yourself.  You have started taking the steps to make decisions in advance by planning your meals, and you eat until you are no longer hungry.  You have a compelling reason you are doing this, and you don’t want to waste your efforts for past beliefs.  I encourage you to remain future focused and really keep thinking about what you want to ...
