Weight Loss Your Way Podcast

In this episode, I apply the process of change I shared in the previous episode to the important concept of your relationship with food and achieving sustainable weight loss. The way you think about food and make food choices can shape the experience you have while working towards weight loss.

To break the cycle of dieting and repeating the same things over and over again, it is important to change your relationship with weight loss by changing the way you think about food.

“Change will happen so much quicker when you do the work that actually enriches your life and makes it bigger and brighter instead of keeping you hidden and isolated”. - Norma Frahn

Key Takeaways

Take time to reflect on your relationship with food and the role it plays in your life.

Instead of focusing on weight loss, try to understand the role of food in your life.

Practice eating foods that you may have labeled as "good" or "bad" without feeling guilty or ashamed.

Find ways to take a break and find relief in your day that don't involve food.

Fill your life with happiness and joy that don't always revolve around food.

Make intentional decisions that prioritize giving your body what it needs and wants most of the time, while also allowing yourself to sometimes enjoy food purely for pleasure.

Weight Loss Your Way is about taking full responsibility for yourself and your process and understanding that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. There are hundreds weight loss tools available to you, but they are not enough to achieve sustainable results; they must be combined with inner work of changing how you think. Weight Loss Your Way is about trusting yourself and your process, believing that you are capable and worthy of success and happiness, and doing the work to make lasting changes.

"You have permission to lose weight your way, no matter what that looks like. There's no right or wrong way. Diet culture made that up. There's only your way."

In this episode, you will learn the following:

What is the "Weight Loss Your Way" approach to moving through change?

How can self-love and self-confidence develop while you lose weight?

What is the "Change Framework" for weight loss and how can it help achieve lasting change?

Here's what I cover:

1. Discovering the power of your “diet brain” and how to control it to help you on your weight loss journey.

2. Uncovering the mechanics of your brain to help better understand the role of your diet brain.

3. Learning how to reframe your diet brain thoughts to keep your “upper brain” in charge.

I openly share the steps I’m taking to get back on track, starting with figuring out what I want most in my life, beyond weight loss. I also talk about the importance of taking tiny actions to support my goal of balance, and why I'm not focused on weighing myself.

If you want to see what Weight Loss Your Way looks like in action, this very honest and vulnerable episode is a must-listen.

I learned the hard way that you can’t outrun what you did in the past, even if it was just yesterday.  But there is a better option - and that starts with showing yourself a little compassion and examining your process - because it’s never a YOU problem - it’s a process problem.

Episode 16, Ending the Monday Morning Beatdown is all about how to stop punishing yourself and dig into what is really going on in your process.  You don’t want to miss this one!
