OVER 40? STOP EMOTIONAL OVEREATING & LOSE WEIGHT FOR GOOD

When I asked my clients this week how they were feeling with regards to being prepared to love themselves, make great self-loving food plans and win with Thanksgiving, they all said something along the lines of " Yep, I'm not worried, I've got the tools I need!" This is so fun. They have the tools to not have all the mind chatter around it and they have all the tools and planned beforehand to win. Are you interested in creating that type of confidence around food? If so...I can help... If you feel like you overate... Or If you feel like you really overate... If you feel like you did pretty darn good making self-loving choices at Thanksgiving... If you feel like you aren't worried about it at all.... I want to honor where ever you're at... AND I invite you to shine a light of self-compassion and self-love on where you're at. Shine compassion if you feel you overate and compassion will help you look at it from a perspective of wh

3 weeks ago I hit a really big goal in my business. My head was whirling with gratitude, joy, celebration and humility. I enjoyed those feelings for about 3-4 days. And then my brain went back to it's normal brain wiring instincts to: 1-Avoid Pain 2-Seek Pleasure 3-Be Efficient (do the easiest thing possible to seek pleasure and avoid pain) 4-Always Be On The Lookout for Danger/The Negative (Google negativity bias-a psychological term-brain's instinct to search for the negative) AND THEN MY BRAIN STARTED FOCUSING ON #4: ALWAYS BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR DANGER #4 THE LOOKOUT FOR DANGER/NEGATIVITY BIAS in our minds sounds like: "What's wrong now", "what's not working", "what am I doing wrong now". It was so curious and painful. It was as if my brain was saying: "OK, 3-4 days is enough to celebrate, be proud, be joyful, now you need to look for danger again, staying in that proud, joyful feeling could get y

"What is happening to me?  So much pain. My knees are killing me.  Both my feet hurt so badly with shooting pain that I don't know which foot to put the boot the doctor gave me.  I'm crying in pain because my body hurts so badly and the doctors aren't sure why. I can't stop gaining weight.  I'm falling apart, is this really what life after 40 is going to be like, it's too painful to live like this any more..." This is how I felt when I was in my early 40's. I was exasperated and honestly at war with body because it had gained 65 lbs. I was punishing my body with food addiction and bitter self-talk and mad that it wasn't responding the way I wanted it to. "How dare my body do this to me," I thought. And it wasn't working to continue to fight and be angry at my body or myself. I came to this breaking point over time... But things didn't change until I decided to start looking for the ways I could lo

Here's why you struggle so hard to lose the over-40 weight gain: YOU DON'T ASK FOR HELP and YOU THINK YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN AND here's why you do that: You've read a ton of "diet" books. You've read a ton of "how to lose weight" articles online. You're super smart. You're so successful in SO many areas of your life. Yet, it's a struggle for you to ask for help with this because you feel shame or like you should know better because you are so smart... You've tried counting points, cutting back on carbs, drinking shakes, and or exercising your tush off. You feel like "you know what to do to lose weight" and yet, you can't "make yourself" do it or "stick to it". You can do it for a while by "willpowering" yourself or white knuckling it to stick to it but as soon as you're "done with the diet" you go back to yo-yo'ing and gainin
