0037- Judgement or Love?
Let everything you do be done in love. 1Corinthians 16:14
I got a calendar from my friend and as I was flipping the page, it read "If you judge people, you have no time to love them."
It stuck with me the whole week and I started thinking, if that's true about others maybe it's also true about ourselves.
When we focus on how we should be different than we are, we stay in judgement of oursleves.
When we love ourselves, we find the ability to become the next version of us.
In this episode, we talk about how to start loving our selves where we are so that we can show up differently for oursleves.

Why set a weight-loss goal?
-
Become the next version of yourself
-
Expand your thinking
-
Challenge your beliefs
Most of us set goals to lose pounds. And that's great.
But what if the reason we set a goal was to become the person who loses the weight?
What if we challenged our beliefs and expanded how we are thinking about ourselves and became that person?
The pounds would be a bonus, right?!?
If we and our weight are our circumstance, we get to CHOOSE how we think and feel about ourself and what the scale says we weigh.
What we are thinking about ourselves is what creates how we feel about ourself and what we do to create the result we want.
Listen in to learn about the 2 types of goals we can set for ourselves and how to become future-focused so we can stick to them!
Starting today, I'm teaching a 5 day free workshop on "How to Trust God with our Weight-Loss Journey." It's free in side our Christian Weight-loss Group.

0021- How the Thoughts About You Are Keeping You From Losing Weight.
Who are you?
How do you answer that question?
How we see ourselves is the most important factor in what we will do and the results we will get in our lives.
We tend to think that who we are is something separate from what we think.
We don’t realize we are literally creating who we are by what we think.
Listen in to what my thoughts were about myself that were keeping me overweight.
You will see the power of how the thoughts we think about ourselves either propel us forward to our goals or keep us stuck in a cycle of overeating.
Once we become aware of what we are thinking, it enlightens us and it becomes easier to change!

0020- The Formula To Lose The Weight You Want
Today I am sharing the exact formula that is either having you lose weight or gain weight.
Brooke Castillo from The Life Coach school (where I got cerified) created this formula. She calls it The Model.
The components of The Model are simple and clear. They are...
Circumstances
Thoughts
Feelings
Actions
Results
Circumstances are factual. Strictly facts. They are neutral
Thoughts are the sentences we have about the circumstances.
Feelings are vibrations in our body. They are described with one word: happy, sad, excited, anxious. Feeling are caused by our thoughts.
Actions are driven by our feelings. We will act, react, or not act based on how we feel.
Results are determined by our actions. What we are doing are always creating results in our lives.
Once we plug something into the model, we can see more clearly which thoughts are causing our feelings and actions.
By challenging our thoughts and being open to the possibility of being wrong, we can be willing to adopt new thoughts.
When we are willing to think differently about ourselves, we will start feeling differently, acting differently, and ultimately produce new and better results for ourselves.

0019- What we make it mean that we are overweight
When I ask the question, "Why are you overweight?" What comes to mind?
For some of us, we think shameful thoughts that something is wrong with us.
For others of us, we look outside of us for reasons we can't lose weight.
But, what if we were wrong about that?
There is nothing more you need to lose the weight you want.
Listen in to the actual reason (according to science) that we carry extra weight on our bodies.

0014- How I lost 40 pounds from a place of loving myself.
Today I share part of my story.
How I lost 40 pounds from a place of lovig myself.
Our stories about ourselves can cause emotional pain.
I remember standing on the scale 2 years ago and it read 201 pounds.
My first thought was “I shouldn’t weigh this much.”
Immediately, I felt shame and disappointment in myself.
I wanted to hide.
I didn’t want to wear cute clothes, or get dressed up.
It was almost like I didn’t deserve to look cute.
I look back now and realize I gave all my power away to that number.
I thought if I kept shaming myself, I would motivate myself to lose weight and eat healthier.
I was wrong.
I actually started to separate the facts from the thoughts.
The fact: scale says 201.
Then I went to work.
I started rewiring my brain that the number means NOTHING about me.
I was CHOOSING to believe I shouldn’t weigh that much.
I was punching myself in the face over and over evert-time I thought something was wrong with me.
I decided to change the story.
I claimed God’s truth on my life that no matter what the scale says, I am 100% worthy, loveable & capable.
I just kept practicing believing that.
As I believed it, I started loving myself.
And from that love, I was patient as I took action to lose 40 pounds.
If I can do it, you can too.
But I promise you….it starts with separating the number on the scale from your worthiness.
Listen as I share how I did this and the 2 life-changing questions I asked myself to lose this 40 pounds FOR GOOD!

0011- How to use the fat on your body to lose weight.
Our body has 2 sources of fuel.
Sugar & Fat
We want the fat on our bodies to be the preferred source of fuel.
It isn't able to use the fat we have on our body when constant sugar is avaialble.
Weight-Loss is not about calorie balance, it's about hormone balance.
The balance is =
eat food
store fat
access fat
repeat.
When we aren't using fat, the cycle is=
eat food
store fat
eat food
store fat.
We want to burn our own fat for fuel because the body is designed for that. The body becomes efficient at burning fat, not storing it.
I take my clients through this process by
-
creating a customized food protocol based on science.
-
teaching how to manage, feel & process emotions
-
teaching how to manage our thoughts around food and the thoughts creating those emotions
-
we eliminate over hunger and over desire
-
we create an on going solution and identity change so the weight-loss is permanent!

0010- 2 Feel peace when you don't lose
You are not your body.
When we can separate the facts from the thoughts about our weight-loss, we gain freedom.
The number on the scale, the number of pounds of fat on our body doesn't define who we are.
They also don't hurt us emotionally until we have a story about them.
It's the stroy we attach to the facts that hurt us and keep us from losing the weight.
When we can process the emotions from not losing weight and continue to move forward, we win.
Listen to today's episode to see how to remain curious and stay in massive action no matter what is happening on the scale.
Isaiah 54:10 says that God will never take His peace, love and kindness away from us.

005 -What we currently believe about ourself is based on thoughts from our past.
Beliefs are thoughts we think over and over again.
We often aren't aware of our beliefs because we have been thinking them for so long.
We want to become a watcher of our thoughts.
We want to question what we are thinking about our weight-loss journey and keep what is serving us and let go of what is not.
Instead of looking to our past to see if we can lose the weight this time, let's focus on the future and what is possible.
Focusing on the future means we recognize our limiting beliefs, let them go, and replace them with beliefs that serve our dreams.
It means focusing on the road ahead and getting excited about the future.

004 - Most of us have not been taught to process our emotions. We want to avoid feeling uncomfortable and have taught ourselves that certain foods can ease our pain.
But the truth is that life is 50/50.
50% uncomfortable and painful and 50% positive and happy.
Our brains want to avoid that 50% of discomfort.
If we want to get back to our natural weight, we need to stop numbing our feelings with food.
The way we do this is to process our feelings.
Emotions are just vibrations.
When we are willing to feel any vibration, we find that it's not so scary after all.
Be sure to listen to learn 4 ways to process an emotion, specifically an urge to eat.
When we do this, the urges get smaller and we can be around food without the need to give in.
God's promise in this episode comes from James 1:2-3. We will have trials. We don't need to resist them. In fact, when we open up to them and allow the discomfort, we grow and become the next version of ourselves.
Happy listening!

003 - It's important to know the cause of overeating...desire.
Basically, when we love food too much, it becomes very difficult to stop overeating.
Instead of trying to use our willpower (which will run out anyway) it is possible to create a natural desire for food.
Every time we eat, the "feel good" neurotransmitter, dopamine, is released.
Our natural desire comes from the subtle reward healthy food provides and the satisfaction of hunger.
When we eat foods that release dopamine at unnatural levels, we get much more desire than we need from food.
When we cut back on food to lose weight without addressing the over-desire, we increase our desire for food by withholding it. This is why our willpower is so low when we start new weight-loss programs.
The ultimate goal is weight-loss is to reduce the desire for overeating.
When that is gone, you will have no need for willpower or extra effort to resist overeating.
This can be very overwhelming at first. Especially when we have loved food most of our lives.
Be sure to listen as we discuss willpower, now appeal and delay to get back to our natural desire for food.
Remember in Galatians 6:9 where God promises us that in due time we will reap what we sow if we do not lose heart or relax our courage.
Keep going, your time is coming!
