This week I released a podcast about will-power and how implausible it is to rely on it to get us to success when it comes to sustainable weight loss.  

I got some interesting comments and thoughts about the relationship between will-power and weight loss on social media: 

“I think it's to do with the short-term desire compared with the long-term need. What do you think Katie?” 

• “Knowing what to eat never negates wanting to eat it and that’s the rub. Wanting doesn’t go away simply because we’ve changed our mind. If we were an ocean liner and the captain says lets do a U-Turn,  it takes time for the message to get through to everyone and then more time still for everything to happen and that boat to actually be pointing in the other direction”  

 
“Keep going and will power grows with stamina to get you there” 

• “Yes, I got there, but it took me a quarter of a century because I was always relying on will-power which is fickle about when it will show up. That's why I started Dietles...

Oh Will-Power don’t leave me now!

Have you ever argued with yourself over eating something and lost the argument?

What the heck happens to our will-power when we want it most?

When the realisation comes that we need to lose weight, when something jars us into action, there’s an element of panic, and the resounding thought in our head is "Get it off me, and get if off now!" 

When we reach that point, that panic response results in the first biggest mistake smart women make. 

We dive in boots and all because we want quick fixes and we want it right now. 

We try to go from 0 – 100 and we change everything and do too much, too quick.  

Our plan follows a familiar pattern; 

• A calorie-restrictive diet 

• Coupled with intensive exercising 3- 5 times a week at gym, doing boot camps or maybe running every other day trying to burn through the calories to get the result fast 

The problem is that on top of our already busy schedule, working 50, 60, 70, hours a week at the office, under time pressures, deadlines, staff issues, conflict, and burning the midnight oil at home, along with our already depleted energy reserves, very low fitnes...

5 frogs are on a log and 2 decide to jump off. How many frogs are left on the log?

5! Because deciding isn’t doing!

This week I’m talking about why having more zip, zazz and pazing in our day not only makes us feel good but is actually a match to the health we want to enjoy.  

What does having more energy in your energy tank feel like? It feels good doesn’t it? Those days when you wake up and you’re just “on”. The sun seems brighter, the world seems happier, and life just feels easier. 

We spend so much time thinking and worrying about our weight that the whole “living and enjoying a great life” part gets put on hold. 

But when we start living and enjoying ourselves, when we’re out having fun in our life, we switch over to using another part of our brain and we start making healthier, happier choices for ourselves naturally.  

Because when we feel good, we want to keep feeling good. 

We all need more living in our life, so lets get started: 

1. Make a list of 5 things that would make your happy heart sing this year. 
2. Close your eyes and think about the joy of being there, enjoying each one of those thin...

This week we’re talking about the mystery of habit relapse and what we can do to prevent it.  

I never thought I’d be able to change my bad habits. I’d been told more than once that I had “an addictive personality”, low self-esteem and self-worth, and that the reason I kept failing to change was because I “self-sabotaged” (presumably because I had low self-esteem and low self-worth).   

The reality is I didn’t understand the mechanisms of this amazing body and mind.  

I wasn’t self-sabotaging, I was relapsing into old habits.  

And I kept relapsing because that’s what our non-conscious mind and body are constantly pushing to return to, and I couldn’t win a fight that I didn’t understand.  

To break-free from the cycle we need to: 

     a.) Develop an understanding of this part of ourselves  

     b.) Build our knowledge of what to do to develop long-term habit change  

     c.) Implement the knowledge and build the skill that leads to the sustainable change we want 

It’s not rocket science...

This week we’re talking about creating meaningful and sustainable change through the power of small adjustments.

Our biggest obstacles to losing weight and gaining health are the ones we have that stop us even getting started.

There’s always seems to be something in our way, something that “When I get past this, then I will have time to focus on me”.

Every year is full of celebrations, challenges and changes, all culminating at the end of the year with the daddy of all stresses, Christmas.

That’s why New Year’s Resolutions are so popular right; this is the time when we think we can take a minute to focus on ourselves before the cycle starts again.

But Why Do We Think We Have To Wait?

Because unless you’re experiencing one of those rare moments where the switch in our mind is triggered and turned “on” – you know that switch, the one that propels us into action like we just sat on a thumb tack? The one that gives us unwavering will power, energy and vitality and making changes seems ...
