This Is The Road to Your Ideal Weight

-


Here's a secret friends - if you are struggling with losing weight you don't have to change the number of calories you are eating today.  If you really want to make a lasting change you need to adjust the thoughts you have about the foods you are currently eating.  

We have been told food is love, food is comfort, food is joy.  Food is really just food.  We eat it, it digests, and it comes out... well - I think you know the final step 😉.

Ask yourself how much self love do you hold at your current weight?  
How comfortable are you really?
How much joy are you really feeling with this ongoing struggle.
Be honest.

When you start challenging your old beliefs you are able to see new ones are possible.  When you believe new things you will create new results. 

Take the time today to imagine what your future self would tell you.  When you notice yourself saying you deserve the extra cookie because it’s been a long day be curious to find out why you don’t choose to think you deserve to be at your ideal weight.  Think about what your future self at her ideal weight would eat - practice that now.  Practice being what you dream of - that my friends is how you get there.  

Reply here and let me know what your future self would tell you today - I'm sure it would be amazing advice!

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 ...
