Amy Haab

Are you tired of feeling like no matter what you do it all comes back to your weight? Are you tired of feeling like you’re not in control - of your food, your weight, your negative self-talk or your life?

Maybe you struggle with the thought “I can’t lose weight” or “I know what to do, so WHY can’t I do it?” If that’s you, then this podcast is for you.

Join me to learn how to eliminate ALL your weight for good, the way you want to live your life! Go to www.amyhaab.com to access my FREE training, 3 Simple Steps to Start Losing ALL the Weight.

When you think of any big accomplishment in your life there is always one constant factor...GROWTH.

The reason for that is simple. If you did not need to grow who you were to accomplish that big thing, then you would have already accomplished it -- and it wouldn't have even seemed like a big deal in the first place.

So here's what that means when it comes to becoming the woman who loses ALL her weight for good.

You have to grow into being her.

On this - my final podcast - I outline 5 steps you can take to do exactly that in your life today.

You can grow into being that woman that loses all her weight for good and keeps it off effortlessly.

I want that for you and absolutely nothing less, so join me now and learn how this is truly possible for you and all the amazing God truths that point us this way.

More Podcast Wisdom: "Here’s the magic sauce to this. When you focus on the process of growth and continually grow who you are, the quality of thoughts you’re having, the quality of feelings you’re having - ALL those things make you more and more willing to try new things and take new actions you never thought you’d be willing to take”.

God’s Truth: He tells us not to copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let Him transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know His will for your life which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Have you ever had a coach who taught you lessons that lasted a lifetime?

What about with your weight?

Most women will try diet-after-diet, workout-after-workout with little to no lasting results but they never consider having a weight loss coach.

Does that make sense?

We let our pride get in the way as we think we can do this ourselves or that we need to do this on our own.

But why when a good coach can help us learn and grow faster without all the pain and suffering that comes from our trial and error and our failures.

We think we can't afford a coach, but then we continually waste our valuable time and money on diets, workouts and all other kinds of products we think will get us "there".

A qualified coach will get you "there" way faster than you will ever get there on your own - and with much less suffering.

And here's the BIG thing. A qualified coach will help you see ALL the things holding you back that you can't see on your own.

And that is the core root of the problem whenever we fail to make progress in any area of life that's important to us.

All our past conditioning isn't allowing us to clearly see what's holding us back, so it's impossible for us to figure out the long-term solution.

That's the magic of coaching - helping you find solutions to what’s holding you back when you don’t even know what that is.

Join me to learn 4 amazing things a Coach can do for you that will bring this magic to your life.

We've all probably heard the stat that most people gain an average of 5 pounds over the holiday.

Well I'm here to tell you today that's not true and it especially doesn't have to be your truth.

In fact, you could even LOSE WEIGHT over this upcoming holiday season.

Impossible you say? Nope, not impossible at all if you simply activate your rational brain and take the simple steps to plan what and how much you are going to enjoy all the scrumptious holiday food, treats and drinks.

Many of us fall victim during this time of year to our thoughts that tell us how much we deserve ALL the holiday treats, ALL of the time.

But there's a different path that's available for you to choose. And no, it's not deprive and resist the food until you simply want to scream and pull someone’s hair out.

You ready for this? You can enjoy the treats AND still lose weight.

Still thinking this is impossible for you? Then join me and find out how to make this happen this year.

Do you hear these constantly showing up in your self-talk?

I SHOULD be doing this...

I HAVE TO do this...

If that's you, I have a message for you today. While all those SHOULDs and HAVE TOs seem appropriate here’s what they're actually doing – creating subtle negativity and internal opposition towards doing them.

Because when it comes to losing weight those words are an indicator of something you really don't want to do.

And that's why you keep telling yourself over and over that you SHOULD and you HAVE TO - because you're trying to convince yourself to do it.

These words make our actions feel heavy and burdensome.

The good news is there's some really small shifts in the words you use here that will make a big difference.

Join me and learn how to make the things you want to do feel light, possible and doable.

Are you feeling stuck? Are you feeling like it's nearly impossible for you to take any steps that lead to real and lasting weight loss?

If that's you, then you have a bad case of hopelessness - and I’m here to help you with that.

Hopeless is a feeling that keeps creeping in a little bit more with each failure we experience.

It usually shows up with feelings of despair and inadequacy and those feelings NEVER drive you to take actions that move you towards your goal.

Here's what feeling hopeless makes you do:

*Stop trying.

Shrug your shoulders and think it just is what it is.

Sigh and tell yourself there's just nothing I can do about it.*

SO NOT TRUE!! That's the devil filling your minds with his sneaky white lies and half-truths so you buy into and believe them.

The good news is this - whether or not you continue feeling hopeless is up to you.

In this podcast I'm sharing 3 steps that help you turn your hope-"LESS" to hope-"FULL" - and that's what gets you moving forward again.

Join me and learn how this is possible for you.

Are you conditioned to mindlessly turn to food whenever you face problems or uncomfortable moments in your life?

Most of us are. Why? Because food is such an easy answer that provides some instant comfort no matter how we're feeling.

Argument with your husband? Nothing a little ice cream can't soothe.

Bored at night? Nothing a quick trip to the pantry can't solve.

Kids out of control? Nothing a few glasses of wine can't fix.

Here's the issue. That easy solution of food in the moment is leading to more problems you're going to have to face. And these aren't even long-term problems like gaining weight - these are problems you're going to have to deal with almost immediately.

Join me on this podcast as I outline 4 new problems the food's creating for you.

Quit allowing the uncomfortable moments in your life have the control and learn how it's possible to take control WITHOUT the food.

What do you want more of in your life?

Here's an easy way to get that - start celebrating ALL your efforts and small wins there.

Celebrating small wins is an important contributor to creating a happy, positive mindset towards losing your weight that's ready to achieve real and lasting success.

Unfortunately, we're not good at celebrating our small wins because our fallen human brains are wired to focus instead on all the areas we're falling short.

And the world only teaches us how to celebrate our big wins.

So we have to take control and learn to re-wire our brains to focus on ALL the things we're doing right. And that's exactly what celebrating does.

No, this doesn't mean calling off work and renting out the nearest event center every time you eat on plan. This simply means employing small, simple ways to celebrate - in the moment - those positive small steps forward.

It's as simple as an internal congratulatory thought like "Yea - way to go me" or "Way to show up for yourself again" or "I love proving this is possible for me."

The truth is there's no wrong way to do it. Get curious and find ways to reward yourself that empowers you to want to do that again.

So join me to learn why celebrating all your non-scale victories will lead to so many more scale victories to celebrate.

Do you know why habits possess ALL the power needed to get you where you want to go?

Do you know why relying on willpower is ALWAYS going to keep you stuck in places you don't want to be?

If not, then you are exactly who I had in mind when I created this episode.

The truth is God designed us - in our human states - to be creatures of habit. And we can use that knowledge to put the amazing power of habits to work for us.

Habits create solid rock foundations that we can grow and build on.

Willpower is like that sandy foundation that's bound to fail us on our hard days or whenever things get tough.

Our brains love habits because they make it simple and easy to keep doing what we're doing.

Our brains hate willpower because it's taking action it's directly opposed to taking in that moment.

Habits are an essential component to learning how to lose your weight and live the life you want to live.

But there are a few things about habits that are really important to understand.

Like how they can also be working against you (hello there to that big bowl of ice cream you think you have to have every night). Like how trying to create them too fast leads to failure and self-rejection (hello there to that last diet that didn't work for you)>

The truth is there is a process that takes time to create new healthy habits that LAST in your life.

So join me to learn all about how to create powerful habits and how to put this amazing power to work in your life today.

You can't create a new chapter in your life if you keep re-reading the last one.

I love this saying "Leave who you were. Love who you are. Look forward to who you will become."

What does your past look like when it comes to losing weight? How are you letting that past control what you're doing today?

Our past has zip, zero, zilch control over our today unless we give it that control -- and that's exactly what too many of us are doing without even realizing it.

We get stuck in our past by thinking we can only lose weight one way (like strict deprivation) or doing certain things (like counting calories).

We let our past hold us back because past failures make us believe we can't create new results.

Letting go is how we move forward.

Letting go is how you get unstuck.

Letting go is how you create new breakthroughs your past is telling you isn't possible.

Join me today to learn the 3 reasons you're giving your past too much power (without even realizing it) and how to start taking your power back today.

Obstacles - we all have them and we've all ran from them.

The question is what are you making your obstacles mean when they show up?

Does it mean it's time to play smaller, quit trying to lose weight, and go back to that comfort zone of whatever makes you feel good right now?

Or do you make it mean that it's time to go deeper, get curious, grow, educate yourself more, and figure this out once for all?

Choosing wisely between those two makes all the difference, because the truth is when you're trying to make real changes to your obstacles ALWAYS show up.

Understanding that is an important first step so when they show up you can realize it doesn't mean anything has gone wrong - in fact, it's actually the opposite - it's a sign you're on the right track.

Quit telling yourself something's wrong here every time an obstacle shows up.

The next important step is understanding that the path to losing all your weight the way you live your life is to work through your obstacles rather than resisting and avoiding them.

Your obstacles carry deep meaning and significance, because figuring them out is what will get you to where you want to go.

So instead of running from them next time try this - run towards them.

It all starts by creating a new attitude and perspective towards them.

When you do that you'll see how it's possible to learn and grow so you can overcome all the obstacles on your way to being that woman who loses all her weight for good.

Join me to learn how to change your perspective and 2 BIG things that help you breakthrough and overcome your obstacles.

How much thought have you put into exactly WHY you want to lose your weight?

Maybe you'd say I think about it all the time, BUT if I asked you what you were thinking, you'd respond with a simple "I want to feel better" or "look better" or "I want my clothes to fit."

If that's you, I have two words - GO DEEPER!

Take time to discover that deep-down, biggest, and most important reason why you really want this in your life.

Why? Because purpose drives you to take action.

And the more compelling your purpose, the more empowered you are to take real and meaningful actions - and keep taking action - until you get where you really want to go.

That's what lights a fire in you that simply can't be stopped - no matter what obstacles stand in your way.

That's why I call this your Unstoppable Why.

I'm sure you've seen this at work in other areas of your life - or in the lives of people you know. Now learn how you can put this same transformative power to work with your weight.

Join me and discover your Unstoppable Why and all the amazing power that provides and you'll start taking action to become that woman who loses all her weight for GOOD.

Certain thoughts have the power to sabotage your ability to ever create the results you want most in your life.

Do you have common thoughts about weightloss that look and sound like this?

Losing weight is hard.

I just don’t have time for this right now.

I deserve or need this food.

This is so confusing.

There must be something wrong with me because I just can’t lose weight.

I can’t keep doing all this.

I just love food too much.

I’m always going to be overweight.

This works for other women but not me.

I can’t keep the weight off like I used to.

If you do, you probably feel this resistance towards taking the actions you know you want to take here.

And you're probably also struggling to create the result that matters most - consistently losing it for GOOD.

About 5 years ago, I learned a brand new concept in my life that blew my mind and has allowed me to experience more growth in the last few years than I had in the prior 20 years of my adult life.

And I still have tons of growth I want to experience, but now I can see how that growth is truly possible for me and how it's in my control. Rather than always feeling like I'm being held back by other people, by my past or my circumstances - which is what I used to think.

Join me today as I share this concept with you and learn how any thoughts like those above are sabotaging what matters most to you and your weight.

Quick question - which one of these sounds more like freedom to you?

Eating whatever you want, whenever you want OR planning whatever you want and then doing your best to follow your plan?

You're probably naturally leaning towards and attracted to option #1, right?

But here's why that option doesn't take you to this amazing place of real and lasting freedom.

Because it leads to all kinds of negativity in our thoughts and emotions about our food choices...our excess weight...and our inability to lose that excess weight.

And that mental weight is heavy so dealing with it feels like a constant burden – and that’s the opposite of freedom.

Here's what real food freedom looks and feels like.

You learn how to make choices that serve what you really want -- your health and goal weight.

It feels amazing, it feels empowering.

Learning this changes everything because so much of losing weight is about controlling your food WITHOUT all the unhealthy deprivation and heavy emotions.

I know because I have much personal experience on both sides of this. And this is exactly what the ladies in my program discover when they learn how to do this.

It’s similar to the freedom we experience in our spiritual lives when we discover the joy created when we follow God's plan.

Join me and start creating REAL FOOD FREEDOM in your life. The type that fills you up and empowers you to lose your weight the way you want to live your life.

How many times have you done this?

You see someone who looks amazing and has lost all kinds of weight so you think - "this is going to be simple, I'll just do what she's doing."

Or you hear about this new diet and how it tells you the exact actions you need to take and you think - "perfect, that's what I'm looking for, something that tells me exactly what to do."

So you go for it. You tell yourself all you need to do is follow the instructions from that now-skinny lady or from this new diet and the life you've been dreaming about will be yours.

And then here's what happens. You give it your best shot. You really try to make it happen. You start off strong but slowly the doubts start creeping in.

"I'm not sure how long I can keep this up" or "this is really hard" or "this might work for her, but I don't think this is going to work for me." Or here's another one we like to tell ourselves when it's obvious we can't keep it up - "there must be something wrong with me."

NONE of this is true. The truth is forcing yourself to copy someone else's detailed actions doesn't work UNLESS you just so happen to have a very similar life, environment, preferences, support system, thoughts and feelings as that other person.

God has made us all unique in our own special ways so the chances of this are slim and none.

You simply won't be able to lose weight when you feel like you're losing your life - and maybe your mind.

I used to do this over and over again - and it never led me to the life I really wanted to live.

There's such a better way you can learn to lose all your weight the way you want to live your life - without repeating this failed formula over and over again - and it's 100% possible for YOU!

Join me to learn why action copying is such a failed formula and what you can do instead that works no matter where you are today.

What do you find yourself doing after a poor night's sleep? Mindlessly opening the fridge to eat more veggies, right? Ha - I wish!

How often have you been told to mind your sleep habits even BEFORE you mind your eating habits?

The truth is poor sleep causes your brain and body to operate in a way that's going to set you up to fail no matter how hard you work to overcome it.

An even bigger question - when it comes to today's diet culture - is how often have the virtues of sleep when it comes to weight loss been put ahead of exercise?

Rarely if ever, right?

Here's the problem. If you don't get the proper sleep your brain and body needs to operate at an optimal level ALL your efforts to lose weight are going to be constantly sabotaged and undermined.

How you ask?

It has a significant detrimental impact on your decision-making ability.

It has a significant detrimental impact on your hunger hormones. How they communicate when you're full, when you've had enough and whether to burn or store body fat.

It has a significant detrimental impact on how strongly your brain seeks out calorie-dense foods to try to make you feel better in the moment.

Losing weight is dependent on learning how to make one good decision after another that leads to developing consistent habits. Poor sleep makes this almost impossible.

This is why I'm serious about my sleep and about you getting yours. This is why quality sleep is one of the 5 Big Rocks I teach the women in my Losing ALL the Weight Program.

Quit wasting all your time and efforts by allowing poor sleep to keep holding you back in ways you don't even realize.

Join me on this podcast as I share 3 big ways you can start improving your sleep today that you're probably not doing. Open your mind to all the ways quality sleep benefits you and your ability to lose your weight.

Do you consider yourself a confident person? Do you have an unlimited supply of real, authentic confidence available to keep you moving forward?

That was definitely NOT me.

I struggled with confidence for most of my life. You might be surprised to hear that from the woman who’s now sending you this email and coaching other women.

My lack of confidence held me back for so long because it allowed my fears and doubts to always be in control.

It made me live a passive life, wishing I could do certain things but never taking sustained action. It was impossible to consistently show up for myself.

And that led to always living small because I wasn’t able to see all the amazing possibilities available to me.

It wasn’t until a few years ago that I figured out how it was possible for me to create confidence in any area of my life. And I’m still a work-in-progress here but I’m light years from where I was.

This has been life transforming so, of course, I want to share it with you.

The truth is we all have the ability to create confidence in our lives because most of our confidence comes from…(are you ready for this?)…US. We are constantly creating more confidence OR more doubts and fears.

Join me and learn 4 ways you can start creating real confidence in your life today (and what robbed me of my confidence for so long.)

The type that moves you past your fears and doubts and to the life you want to live and the weight you want to lose.

What are the immediate thoughts you see pop into your head when you think about stepping on the scale?

Is it something like, "I sure hope it doesn't go up" or "hope I didn't screw things up too bad" or "this diet better be working."

The truth is most of the thoughts and emotions we have around the scale - both before, during and after - are disempowering and create all kinds of mental weight we carry around with us the rest of the day.

What if you could change this pattern? Think about how different your journey would be if you could become friends with the scale and be at peace when you step on it.

Now think about how different it would be if you could even be at peace when it goes up.

This is what I show you how to do.

The truth is we way over-dramatize everything about the scale. Our expectations, our reactions, our depressed mood whenever it goes up or even our anxiety when it goes down (because we doubt we can do that again).

We allow it to define us, our efforts and our diet.

The scale? It just wants to be our friend.

It's just doing it's best to give us the facts - information, real-time feedback, a progress report - and the last time I checked that is valuable information whenever you're working on an important goal in your life.

There's ONE thought I want you to focus on every time you step on the scale - and it will change everything.

It's an empowering thought that will keep you moving forward NO MATTER WHAT the scale says. It will allow you to build a brand new relationship with the scale and - maybe, just maybe - even start to look forward to your future encounters.

Join me today to break free from your scale drama and experience all the amazing benefits that delivers.

Powerful cravings and urges - we've all had them right?

I know I still do - especially for Doritos and anything salty. And sometimes a drink.

Chocolate, wine, ice cream, sweets, salty, savory - yes, yes, and YES please!

But do you know the ultimate source that's driving these cravings? If you said your emotions you're partly right, but you need to go back one step further to what's actually causing your emotion.

And do you know why these cravings feel so incredibly strong - like sometimes you don't even feel in control or like you have a choice in the matter?

There are 2 primary reasons for that - and one may surprise you. It's part of how God designed our human brains and bodies to work.

The good news?

Once you better understand your cravings, you see how you have the power to be in full control.

Does this mean, you'll stop having them overnight or you'll never cave again? Of course not, after all we are human and Doritos are delicious.

But now you'll be fully equipped with the knowledge you need to be more in control.

Plus I'll explain why being overly restrictive and depriving yourself from your favorite foods leads to these cravings as well.

And that's one of the reasons I NEVER recommend you do that. That and how miserable it makes losing weight feel.

Join me today to learn the ultimate source of your cravings, 2 reasons they're so strong and how you can start being in control today.

Using food as the solution to your negative emotions leads to destructive patterns in your weight, your emotional health and your life.

Here's what happens when you keep turning to food to escape those uncomfortable emotions.

You never allow yourself to fully feel and process them which means...

...you'll never understand why they keep showing up.

...you'll fail to address important things in your life.

...they'll keep coming back (usually even stronger).

And all that food you're turning to? It's going to lead to having even more uncomfortable emotions you then have to find relief from.

Add that all up (and math was my favorite subject - weird - right?) and you can see why it's important for us to recognize and learn how to control our emotional eating.

The other problem with our emotional eating is we've been well conditioned to do it A LOT.

So most of us are mindlessly doing this way more than we think we are.

Am I speaking your language? If so, join me today because here's all the goodness I'm going to share with you.

I explain God's designs for our emotions, why nothing has gone wrong here - despite what it feels like - and how He wants us to respond in a way that doesn't involve food. Then I provide 3 simple steps on how you can start doing this in your life.

What decisions are you constantly pushing off in your life?

It's important to know, because they are defining your results.

Allowing yourself to live in indecision IS a decision and it's a decision that keeps you stuck and doesn't allow you to move forward.

Living in indecision leads to regrets that sound like "should have", "could have", or "would have".

The other problem is the longer you live in indecision, the harder and harder it becomes to make one. At least to make one with any conviction it's the right one.

I used to struggle with making decisions. And I still do at times - like when my husband asks me where I want to go out to eat - I'm a work in progress there.

BUT I no longer allow myself to wallow in crippling indecision in the important areas of my life because I've seen firsthand how much that led me away from the life I want.

So many times we get all up in our heads, allow our fears and negativity to keep us frozen, let simple thought errors keep us from making decisions that have the power to change our lives.

What decision are you not making about your weight today? Are you allowing the thoughts of not enough time, not enough money or you not being enough cause you to stay stuck in indecision or constantly going back to the failed methods of your past?

The big question you want to answer is are your decisions serving you? Are they helping you address the things that matter most? Are they moving you into a life you love?

Join me today to learn about the power of making decisions and 3 ways you can assess whether you're living in indecision or making decisions that serve you and the life you want.

Do you know what I see so many women do with their weight struggles?

Shut God out of this part of their life - and that cripples the power of His Spirit to show up when and where we need it the most.

What about you - are you doing this?

I teach weight loss that’s focused on growing who you are using all the incredible gifts you’ve been blessed with - your mind, your body AND your spirit.

So today I’m helping you see this more clearly in your life so you can understand how to approach this differently and bring this transformative power into this part of your life.

The truth is it’s mostly guilt and shame that causes us to do this. It leads to us rationalizing all the reasons we need to figure this out on our own, why it’s too small and petty to bother God with.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

I understand why you think that though because that’s how I used to treat it too, but my eyes have been opened and I want to share that with you.

You see nothing has gone wrong here - as much as we think it has. This is how God designed our human lives. He expects you to have struggles like this and He expects you to struggle to bring them fully to Him.

That’s why He is so clear on telling us how transforming His power is when we do.

He tells us he can turn all our weaknesses into strengths. He tells us He can do far more in our life than we could ever imagine. He tells us the way He does this is by His spirit working gently and deeply within us.

And He wants this for you more than you’ll ever realize. So today is the day to bring this FULLY to Him and let His Spirit go to work and help you grow to become the woman that loses all her weight.

Do you see any shame when it comes to your weight or your body image?

Shame seems similar to guilt and regret but it’s really quite different.

Guilt and regret is focused on your behaviors, shame is focused on you as a person.

Guilt and regret causes you to think, “I made a mistake.”

Shame causes you to think, “I am a mistake.”

And that’s why shame is so heavy and powerful. That’s why it takes us to places we don’t want to go. That’s why it can make us feel like there’s no path forward.

And the more we try to resist and push it away, the more it lies to us that we aren’t enough.

Today we’re exposing shame for the fraud it really is.

It feels real. It feels powerful. It feels condemning. But it’s ALWAYS a lie.

I know because there was a time in my life when I allowed shame about my body to have its full grip on me and that led to a really dark place.

Join me to learn how to know if shame is holding you back with its lies. I’ll explain how it shows up in our life , how it makes us feel and what it makes us do.

Then I’ll show you how to expose it for what it truly is and move past it so you can step fully into the life you want to live.

Our first human instinct is to always run from any unwelcomed emotion that makes us feel uncomfortable.

But what if instead of running, we focused on why they were showing up in the first place.

The truth is our emotions - both positive and negative - are simply signals and indicators of our life.

Uncomfortable emotions show us areas in our life we want to get curious about and explore what’s going on there.

But too many times we choose to resist and escape them instead. We run to short-term pleasures like our favorite comfort foods to help us feel better in the moment.

We make decisions that oppose what we truly desire in our life - like weightloss - to find that short-term relief.

The irony is choosing to do that leads to layering on even more negative, uncomfortable emotions like guilt and regret.

When we understand this, we can start approaching them differently.

We can search for meaning and why they are showing up - rather than thinking something has gone wrong here.

Feeling stressed or anxious? Look for exactly what’s causing that. Maybe there’s an area of your life you want to work on or a relationship you want to repair.

Feeling guilty? Identify the mistakes creating that feeling and what you can learn from them.

Feeling regret? Search for how making different choices will change that.

Feeling bored? Look for new ways to grow yourself or rekindle interests or hobbies that light you up.

Don’t keep running from your uncomfortable emotions, lean into them to create awareness and understanding. Because that is what will lead to more of the emotions you want to experience – like peace, love and joy – in your future.

Do you believe you have to choose between a life you love or a life you lose weight?

I know most women do because that’s what they tell me when I ask them that.

That’s what I used to believe too.

Not only is this not true - it’s the very thing that’s holding them back from having both.

If I asked you if you enjoy trying to lose the weight, what would your answer be?

If I asked you if you thought it was possible to enjoy it, what would your answer be?

Your answer to those questions carries way more significance than you might think.

Because the more you don’t enjoy the process - or think it’s possible - the more likely you will never get where you want to go.

And if you fight, scratch and claw your way there, never learning to enjoy the process (like I did), you’re probably not going to be happy when you get there and you’ll likely regain the weight.

But here’s the part I love. We are never defined by our current life. We’re never defined by our current, thoughts, feelings and where we find ourselves today.

We always have a choice because God gives us that power. He’s a God of new starts and new beginnings.

And when we learn how to approach this in a new and exciting way that’s so much more than just a bunch of actions designed to help us lose weight, that’s when we can learn how doing this is possible for us.

Do you know how you’re talking to yourself? Are you sure??

What's it telling you? Are you buying into it??

Do you know how big an impact it's having on your ability to lose the weight?

The biggest thing holding you back is how much you fail to see and understand the full extent and power of your self-talk.

Here’s the other BIG problem with our self-talk - most of us fail to see it clearly and we fail to grasp how powerful it is.

That leaves us in this awkward position of trying to create changes in our life that our self-talk is telling our brain we can’t really do.

And that’s what leads to constant struggles, being stuck and to where you eventually start feeling broken and defeated.

If that's you, then It’s time to uncover and start shifting your mental baggage.

This is something we covered last week in my 5-Day Training: 3 Simple Steps and it was a real eye-opener for the ladies in there. I'll tell you how they discovered they were talking to themselves and what that was creating for them.

Here’s the great news - YOU have the ability to control your self-talk. You can make the decision to start shifting your self-talk today. You can make it work FOR you and NOT against you.

I’m sharing the few critical steps you need to make this happen, so join me today to learn how you can do this in your life.

I also share the first 3 simple shifts I recommend you focus on making that will help you start losing ALL the weight for GOOD.

What if you committed to just losing 2 pounds at a time?

You focus on losing 2 pounds, you celebrate that like crazy and then? You focus on losing the NEXT 2 pounds.

Rinse and repeat until you’ve reached your goal weight.

Sounds a LOT easier than stressing over how to lose 25, 50 or 100 pounds as quickly as possible right?

Well that’s because it is.

And that’s why I’m such a big believer in it because I love anything that makes weightloss easier.

The question is why aren’t YOU using this approach?

You can blame it on your brain - specifically your default brain. It’s conditioned to want immediate gratification so 2 pounds at a time sounds like a BORE and like a lot of WORK.

It wants to lose it all at once - but the problem is even though that’s what it wants - it’s not willing to put in all the work that requires.

So where does that leave you? Stuck with the excess weight you desperately want to lose AND no gratification whatsoever – immediate or delayed.

Focusing on using simple, doable steps to lose 2 pounds at a time and then celebrating like crazy is MAGIC because doing that changes everything.

And like everything I teach you can start TODAY so join me to discover all the magic this approach brings and how to overcome your brain’s objections and get started.

If this is you make sure you go back and listen to my last podcast How to Escape "It's Taking Too Long" to understand why you're always SO FOCUSED on losing your weight FAST. It’s a real eye-opener and important to understand why.

BUT I do have some great news to share with you. I know how you can lose your weight faster WITHOUT the fear of crashing and burning that takes you right back to where you started. Or worse – with even more weight than before.

This is how you can push the “envelope” while having a strong safety net in place to catch you if you fall. Just like those crazy trapeze artists when they’re experimenting and learning new tricks. You can apply the same technique to your weight.

Sorry for the brief interruption here but I'd love for you to consider joining me for a FREE 5-Day Training: 3 Simple Steps to Start Losing ALL the Weight - starting Monday June 6th. I'll help you start applying what you're learning on my podcast to YOUR life. Click HERE to join me.

Many times we’re trying to lose fast out of desperation – and that almost never takes us where we want to go.

BUT when we try to lose fast with the proper mindset and foundation in place, then we can make it WORK FOR US. Then we can use it to make real progress that lasts rather than temporary progress that’s here today, gone tomorrow.

Doing it this way doesn’t lead to feeling hopeless, defeated and broken. It leads to new discoveries and wins that will help you get where you want to go.

And there’s one MAGIC question that can use to create this in your life.

Ready to find out what that is? Then join me on this podcast as I show you how to lose fast the right way. A way that moves you forward, NOT backwards. A way that benefits and serves you and your journey.

Do you find yourself always searching for the quickest way to lose your weight?

Probably - I know that’s what I thought I wanted to find. In fact, I was captivated with that TV show The Biggest Loser - you remember that one? They’d have a handful of contestants competing to lose the most weight over a short period of time.

Do you also know most of those contestants end up re-gaining all their weight and then some? A study showed the rapid weight loss they experienced created permanent issues with their hunger hormones and metabolism that led to the weight coming back.

Even gastric bypass patients struggle keeping the weight off. The Mayo Clinic says only 40% maintained at least a 30% weight loss after 12 years. The problem is they went for the quick-fix and never learned the lifestyle to keep it off.

Bottom-line is even though we think we want it to happen as quickly as possible, rapid weight loss IS NOT how we lose our weight for GOOD. 15 pounds in time for the wedding, maybe? For good? Uh no, afraid not.

So I have a simple question for you today - SO WHAT?

SO WHAT if it takes you some time to lose your weight. ESPECIALLY when you know you’re doing it in a way that will last.

Think about how long it took you to gain the weight – even baby weight. Why do you think you should lose it in a matter of months?

The truth is being focused on how quickly you can lose your weight is actually making your struggle harder and increasing the length of time it’s going to take you. Don’t believe me? Think about how many times you’ve tried losing it quickly…now think about how LONG you’ve been wanting to lose weight.

In this podcast, I show you how you can start thinking about this differently and all the amazing benefits that brings with it. If you’re serious about wanting to lose your weight for GOOD, then you don’t want to miss this one.

I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say I needed more willpower.

I also wish I knew how wrong they were when they told me that, because that would have saved A LOT of wasted effort and heartache on my journey to end my weight struggles.

So that’s exactly why it’s so important I share this with you today.

More willpower is NOT where your power comes from. The truth is you never have more than a limited supply of willpower because that’s acting against your will - your thoughts and feelings - and God didn’t design us to be able to do that for very long.

You know where you can find true power that never runs out? By learning how to enjoy your journey.

Do you know how it’s possible to actually enjoy your journey? By making small shifts that create more empowering feelings.

Here’s a life-changing truth. EVERYTHING we do is motivated to make us feel better.

If what you’re doing – like restrictive diet actions not aligned with the life you want to live – leads to you constantly feeling bad, miserable or somewhere in-between, then guess what? You’re not going to keep doing them.

Sure you might be able to generate enough willpower to keep going for a few weeks especially if you have some success and wins along the way…BUT I promise you it’s not going to last if those feelings don’t change.

Soon enough you’re going to be searching for all the reasons to change what you’re doing so you can start feeling better. That usually leads you right back to the actions and habits you had before you started. And that’s a problem because they aren’t leading you to where you really want to go.

Feelings are what drive our actions. Always have been and always will be. When you understand this, you can apply this to your journey by learning how to generate more feelings that are going to keep you on the path you want to be on.

That’s how you learn how to enjoy your journey - and that is what makes it possible and so much easier to stay on it until you get to where you want to be.

Join me to learn more and understand how to create feelings that will take you where you want to go.

Losing your weight starts with a shift.

A shift towards higher quality thoughts. A shift towards actually believing it’s possible for you.

Do you truly know what you’re thinking right now about your ability to lose weight? Do you have that awareness?

The truth is it’s probably not good. You’re probably thinking things like “I’m not sure this is possible”, “I don’t think this is EVER going to really happen” or “I just can’t do this”.

Those beliefs crush your dreams, they steal your ability to lose your weight…and you probably don’t realize how much you’re having them.

One big problem is diets focus all our attention on taking actions. And taking actions in a way that usually ends up harming our belief in ourselves more than it helps.

The truth is our thoughts and beliefs are creating our results, NOT the actions we take.

That might seem hard to believe but it’s true.

You see without higher quality thoughts, without believing it’s possible for you, then you’re never going to have the ability to actually take the consistent actions to get you there.

The great news is you can change this. You can make this shift. You can take steps that help you think differently and strengthen your belief this IS possible for you.

Even if it’s just a baby belief, it will make a BIG difference.

Join me to learn how because this is where real and lasting weightloss ALWAYS starts.

Most results come from focusing on the fundamentals.

What if I told you I could teach you 5 fundamentals to weightloss that together solve all the big problems holding you back?

Oh - and they are simple, doable, easy to understand and overflowing with common-sense.

Here's the funny thing that our excess weight - and all our thinking about our weight - drives us to do.

We keep searching for new solutions and keep trying harder, more complicated things when we've never learned how to be consistent with the simple things that will solve our problem.

That's like struggling with basic math and thinking taking Calculus is the answer to that problem.

Here's an idea before you go out looking for the next big thing - change that.

Commit instead to learning fundamentals that are easy to fit into your lifestyle so you can actually be consistent with them. See what that leads to.

Give that time to work its magic through the compounding of small wins and all the amazing strategic by-products it brings.

Like belief, confidence, a new level of trust in yourself, and the willingness to grow yourself in ways you haven't been before.

Give yourself that gift because chances are it's the only gift you'll need.

God’s design for our human body is simply amazing.

Did you know we have little messengers that allow our brain and stomach to talk to each other and provide signals when we’re physically hungry and when we’ve had enough?

Unfortunately the way we’ve been taught to eat and the foods available to us today can make it really hard for these guys to do the job God intended for them.

And when we’re not in touch with them and they’re not working properly, it creates this self-perpetuating cycle of over-hunger that drives us to continually eat more than we need to.

This is one of the primary causes of our extra body weight.

The good news is a little understanding combined with some intention and focus can get us back in touch with our physical hunger cues and help us correct this problem.

Join me and let me show how this is possible for you!

Do you know why you have urges and cravings for certain foods but not others?

Do you know why you eat when you’re not even hungry?

Do you know why you can’t control your food?

Understanding this is an important step to being able to see and change your patterns so that YOU - and not your food - can be in control.

There are 2 primary reasons we struggle with food: over-desire and over-hunger.

I teach why and what you can do about it in a way that makes sense and is easy to understand

You see you have to learn how to treat the actual underlying causes of what’s creating your weight - rather than just treating the symptom like diet rules do.

For example, diets tell us to just stop eating all of our favorite foods - how sustainable is that?

Following restrictive food lists doesn’t work - not if you want to create a lifestyle that keeps your weight off for good.

Learning how to decrease your over-desire and over-hunger is a sustainable solution - and you don’t have to experience all the struggles from trying to say good-bye to your favorite foods.

Join me as I show you how this is possible for you!

Doing LESS is how we learn to lose weight living a life we love.

Do you go BIG with your weightloss attempts only to wonder what the heck happened when you're right back where you started a few weeks later?

Going big might work in some areas of your life - but with weightloss it's a losing strategy.

Yet that's what most of us do - time after time after time. And the lack of any real, sustainable results can be crushing.

The answer? DO LESS!!!

Now there's a weightloss strategy you don't hear very often. But that's too bad, because it's the one that will help you learn how to lose weight the way you want to live your life.

It's the one that works for LIFE - and not just the next 3 weeks.

Doing less is the key to losing more! Join me and learn how to unlock this in your life.

Learn and get curious about:

Why we feel like we have no choice but to go BIG to lose weight
Why that never works the way we think it should
How doing less is actually the key to unlocking our ability to lose more
How to start doing this in your life

Do you know the ONE thing most of us continually underestimate in our life? The power of our mind-body connection.

We literally have the power to use this to change ANYTHING in our life but what do most of us find ourselves doing day after day? Repeating the same failed patterns of our past.

Unlocking this power in your life is vital to changing that and discovering real and lasting weightloss. This is what’s going to move you past your failed patterns and create new daily habits and routines that moves you to take action on what matters most in your life.

This isn’t about having to master your inner zen. This is about figuring out how you can harness this power to work FOR YOU rather than AGAINST YOU.

Every day is filled with a large number of choices - we’re constantly deciding between what matters most vs. what’s easiest or most pleasurable in the moment.

How are you making those decisions? MINDFULLY or MINDLESSLY?

Here’s what I finally discovered after years of ignoring this. It was possible to create simple, doable habits that were easy to fit into my life so I made those decisions mindfully most of the time.

And that was a huge turning point in my journey - and I know it will be in yours too. That’s why those same habits and routines form the foundation of my Losing All The Weight program.

Let’s learn and get curious about:

The power of our mind-body connection
3 big connections that impact your weightloss journey
How this helped me overcome my Doritos addiction
How God shows us He made us this way

We jump from one diet to the next because we’re convinced that’s how we’ll finally find the perfect HOW that’s going to lead to losing all our weight.

News flash! This is not HOW to find real success on your journey. It’s that dark and lonely path littered with all the struggles and heartbreak that come from our vicious cycle of starting and stopping again and again.

Why? Because no one knows your perfect HOW that’s going to lead to you losing ALL your weight - not me, not you, not even Oprah or Dr. Phil.

There is one HOW you really need to be sure you know though…

And that’s the HOW to get started right.

And this is actually the one HOW that I know is perfect for you - do you know what it is?

I’m pretty sure it’s going to surprise you. I’m also pretty sure that if you’re struggling with your weight today, you’re NOT using this HOW.

You’ll learn and get curious about:

The most powerful way for you to get started right
Why our human brain’s resists change
How past - and future - failures make everything harder
How you implement this critical How in your life

Do you wonder why it’s so easy for you to follow your diet when you start but it’s really hard after just a couple weeks?

Because diets are NOT a lifestyle. So many of the things they tell you to do are not aligned with the life you want to live.

This means your capacity to do those things diminishes greatly the moment you’re no longer excited about them.

I’ve spent most of my life struggling with all the things the world’s diet culture taught me to do. I even became a certified coach teaching diet culture to other women.

Here’s the ah-ha moment I had a couple years ago. The lifestyle I was finally able to figure out for myself - the one that allows me to keep my weight off AND live the life I want to live - actually rejects most of the concepts and activities diet culture teaches us.

So it became my mission to figure out how I can teach this unique approach to weightloss in the easiest, simplest way possible and then to start sharing it with you.

Because let’s be real - dieting sucks. It’s either telling you to do things you don’t want to do or telling you you’re a failure because you’re not doing those things.

And let’s be real about something else - dieting and struggling your life away is NOT the life you want to live. It’s also not the life God wants you to live.

My approach shows you how to lose weight the way you want to live your life (doesn’t that sound nice :-) ). This approach takes my 25 years of diet struggles, turns them on their head, and shows you how you can lose your weight without losing your life or your mind.

Let’s learn and get curious about:

Why diets don’t lead to a life we want to live.
My story and struggles with diet culture.
How diets fail us over and over again.
How my common-sense approach to losing weight is so different from diet culture.

Are you afraid of your food or are you in charge of your food?

The truth is most of us aren’t. I know for so long I let crazy diet rules control my food decisions. You know the kind – like don’t eat more than 1,200 calories a day or don’t eat ANYTHING not on this short approved list.

Here’s what that did. It made me afraid of the foods I love and even afraid of so many delicious and nutritious foods that serve my body and my goals.

It also made me feel terrible - because every time I ate something that wasn’t aligned with those crazy rules I felt like I was a bad person. And that meant I needed to punish myself by beating myself up internally with self-judgment and self-criticism AND externally by working out longer and harder the next day.

This is not God’s plan for me or you!

God gave us all the amazing tools we need to learn how to control our food.

He blessed us with hunger hormones dedicated to helping us eat the right amount.

He blessed us with a super-powerful human brain to help us decide ahead of time what we’re willing to eat.

In this podcast, I’m going to share all this with you and more so that you can better understand and evaluate your current relationship with food. I want you to see how it’s possible to not be afraid and take control of your food, so your choices can start working for you rather than against you.

You’ll learn:

How diet mentality perpetuates our fear of food.
How being hungry - and even hangry - isn’t actually a bad thing (from the woman that used to say she was hangry all the time!)
Why being afraid of food holds us back from losing weight.
How to build true awareness and understanding about this in your life.
Simple steps you can take to start changing this in your life.

Do you want to know something crazy? Your self-talk is lying to you.

You probably don’t realize it because it’s really good at disguising these lies as sneaky half-truths that’s easy for us to buy into.

Here’s one of those lies it loves to tell you - you have to be perfect to lose weight.

Perfectionism is ALWAYS a lie - do you know how I know?

Because we’re human and that’s not God’s design or plan for us.

Here’s how weight loss happens. We make mistakes, we learn from our mistakes - and most importantly we learn how to KEEP MOVING FORWARD after our mistakes.

You see one problem with thinking you need to be perfect (besides it being impossible) is it leads to you having an all or nothing mindset.

You allow one small mistake to compound into many more.

To eliminate your weight for good you want to learn how to not let 1 mistake turn into 5.

In this podcast, I’m going to explain this to you in a way you can understand and apply to your life. I’m going to show you how it’s possible - and important - to quit messing up the day when your day can still be saved.

If you're feeling broken because you've never been able to keep the weight off, you are NOT alone.

Over the years, many of us come to believe we’ll always be “heavy” and always be on the diet cycle for life.

But I’m here to tell you that you have a choice.

You don’t have to keep believing that - in fact, being ready to challenge the belief you can’t lose weight is an important first step to changing everything.

You don’t have to keep doing the same thing over and over again.

You can choose to stay stuck there or you can choose a new, unique approach that takes you down a different path.

🔥 I help Christian women lose weight the way they live their life. No diet, no taking away your favorite foods, no meal plans, no workouts and absolutely NO COUNTING anything. 🔥

Do you feel overwhelmed with ALL the things you’re told you HAVE to do to lose your weight?

SO. DO. I. And so do many of the women I work with.

This is the number one problem I hear when women come to me - “I just feel so overwhelmed.”

My answer used to be just trying my best to keep doing all the things and accept feeling constantly overwhelmed. That led to sacrificing many important things in my life - and mostly it led to me feeling absolutely miserable most of the time.

It’s time to take control of your life back from all the things your diet’s telling you to do. You know - the counting and calculating, avoiding your favorite foods and eating foods you don’t like, meal planning and working out every day — AND more!

You know all the things that sound good in theory but never actually work in real life - at least not in YOUR life for more than a few weeks.

And what can you do when you see this feeling driving you to make choices you don’t want to make in the moment?

In this podcast I’m going to show you not 1, not 2, but 5 effective ways to overcome your overwhelm (and BONUS - these strategies work beyond your weight loss journey as well).

Are you ready for a new, unique weight loss approach that works for LIFE!!!

The one filled with the most common-sense.

The one that’s simple, doable, and easy to understand.

The one that teaches you to start where you are.

The one that’s screaming “it’s possible” in your head rather than “this is impossible”.

The one that teaches you to do what you’re WILLING to do rather than what you HAVE to do.

The one that shows you how to put the J-O-Y in your journey.

The one that helps you grow and change your relationship with yourself.

The one that shows you how to lose your weight without losing your mind.

The one that teaches you to lose weight the way you live your life. YES PLEASE!!!

In this podcast I show you the solution to solve your weight problems for good - a new, unique approach that turns everything you’ve learned from the world’s diet culture on it’s head.

Do you believe you can’t lose weight?

I’m going to let you in on a really big secret — as much as you think that’s true and as much as that feels true — it’s NOT!

I’m also going to tell you why you believe that. Because no one is standing up and telling you the one thing you have to do to lose your weight.

So that’s the other big secret I’m going to share - to eliminate your weight for good you have to grow and change your relationship with yourself.

You see it’s not about doing ALL the things diets tell you to do.

It’s about growing who you are so you’re willing to figure out and do the things YOU want to do to lose your weight.

The woman you are today isn’t willing to do those things YET, but the woman you grow into will be.

In this podcast I show you how it’s possible for you to grow and change your relationship with yourself so you can eliminate your weight for GOOD!

Are you tired of feeling like no matter what you do it all comes back to your weight?

Are you tired of feeling like you’re not in control - of your food, your weight, your negative self-talk or your life?

That was for me for so many years of my life.

Maybe you struggle with the thought “I can’t lose weight” or maybe it’s a different one like “I know what to do, so WHY can’t I do it?”

If that’s you, then this podcast is for you.

The problem is all the things you’re doing now are not working and they’re not going to work.

Through my many years of experience - both personal and coaching others - I learned the hard way that the world’s diet culture is not the answer. In fact, it actually ends up working against us and holds us back in so many ways we don’t realize.

I will show you why and how to focus on what does work. I’ve developed a unique, common-sense approach that makes weight loss simple, doable and easy to understand.

My goal is to help you lose weight the way you live your life, because lasting weight loss never comes from losing your life or your mind.

Struggling with your weight is NOT God’s plan for the rest of your life.

Weight loss is possible for you. Join me to learn how to eliminate ALL your weight for good and step into the life you want to live. If you’re ready for a new approach to weight loss that works, then this is for you - let’s go!
