Why do we eat junk food or overeat when we know we want to lose weight? If you've ever found yourself thinking, "I must not want it bad enough," this episode is for you. In this episode of Ready to Lose, we're talking about one of the biggest misconceptions in weight loss: the belief that wanting it more will help you succeed. What if the problem isn't that you don't want weight loss badly enough? What if you want it so badly that it's actually making the process harder? You'll learn why putting weight loss on a pedestal can lead to overeating, self-sabotage, and starting over again and again. Plus, I'll show you what to focus on instead so you can stay consistent and finally start seeing the results you want. Press play to learn why wanting weight loss less might be exactly what helps you lose it. WAIT!

Why is it so hard to stay away from extra food?!  The answer- you never learned how to feel your feelings.  Me either. So today I'm sharing with you the 5 most common emotional responses I see when women are trying to lose weight and how they are preventing progress.  Stick around to the end where I am walking you through how to feel your emotions on purpose (yes, even the bad ones).  Because when to eat less, you need to learn how to feel MORE.  WAIT!

If you've ever thought, "I'm doing everything and nothing is working"… It's probably not what you're doing. It's how consistently you're doing it. Recently a client told me she's feeling soooo confident about reaching her goal (she's only 5lbs away!!!). Her habits and her healthy food choices feel like they're finally clicking... and the only thing that changed is she started doing the same habits CONSISTENTLY. In this episode, I'm breaking down 3 small consistency mistakes I see all the time that quietly stall your progress, even when you're doing all the "right" things. Fix these, and you'll start seeing results from the effort you're already putting in.

You might have to gain weight before you lose it. I know… not exactly what you want to hear. But if you've ever tried to lose weight, felt like you were "doing it right," and then saw the scale go up… this episode is going to change how you see that completely. You'll learn: Why "eat less, move more" never worked the way you thought it would What's actually happening when you start planning the foods you used to "avoid" How to handle the urge to panic when the scale goes up Signs you're finally building real control around food Why this phase will help you stop starting over  If you've ever thought "this isn't working" after a few days or weeks… don't skip this one. This might be the piece that finally makes it click.

Should you feel positive about your body now... or is that something that only comes after you hit your goal weight? In this episode, I'm sharing my own experience with this (including the diets, the all-or-nothing cycles, and why it kept falling apart)… plus what finally changed when I stopped treating my body like a problem to fix. We'll talk about the urgency and panic that comes from thinking your life will be better once you lose weight and why that type of thinking keeps you stuck. And most importantly… the simple shift I see every single time right before someone has a major breakthrough. If you want to feel good about your body AND lose weight- this episode is for you.

You've watched them. Saved them. Maybe even tried to follow them step-by-step. In this episode, we're breaking down the real problem with copying what "healthy" or thin women eat and why it's not giving you the results you want. If you've ever felt like you're doing all the "right" things but still can't stay consistent (or just aren't seeing the results you want), this episode will show you what you're actually missing and how to finally start becoming the version of you who loses weight for good.

How often do you think about your goal? And more importantly… how does it make you feel? If your answer is stressed, frustrated, or anxious… you might be using your goal against yourself. Goals are meant to guide you and give you direction. But so many women unknowingly turn them into a source of pressure, guilt, and shame about where they are right now. In this episode, I'm breaking down why that happens and 3 simple shifts to help you think about your goal in a way that actually makes you feel motivated, empowered, and excited to keep going.
