What do you want?  

Do you ever ask yourself that question?  

If you said yes, I invite you to check-in with yourself: do you ask yourself the question “what do I want” or do you think you know what you want because you complain about what you don’t want so much that it seems obvious that you know what you don’t want?  

The reality is we mostly do the complaining part rather than the more proactive approach of asking ourselves the straight up question “What do I actually want?”  

If we ask ourselves that question, we’re more likely to find ourselves living it.  

Because when you take the reins of your life, then you are the one in control. 

You’re in a better position to be steering that run away stallion that is our unpredictable life rather than being the person tied to its back flopping around, arms flailing, banging our head on...

We think it’s an “us” thing when it comes to our weight. That it’s our fault we have this problem.  

But it’s not.  

Everything you struggle with in regards to your weight, eating behaviours, health habits and motivation is universal. We all struggle with the same thing in very much the same way.  

But we don’t have to. You have the power to lead yourself to health and happiness.

Because even though it’s not your fault, it is your responsibility to keep looking until you find a new solution to this very old problem. 

Tune in to this week’s Best Of The Weight is Over™ compilation and realise that even though you’re struggling, you can be triumphant and take charge through Personal Health Leadership™  and find your freedom, reach your goals, and step into your most extraordinary life with choices, freedom and control.

Emotional eating has a massive impact on our weight and health and one of the keys to reducing emotional and stress eating is to increase relaxation. 

 
Taking simple steps to find some little pockets of “you time” throughout the day is one way to begin to reduce stress and increase feelings of calm. 

Another way to break-away from this long standing learned behaviour is to simply be aware that you’re about to engage in emotional eating and take steps to reduce that drive towards putting food in your mouth.

That’s easier said then done though isn’t it.  

I shared my story last night at the Happy Healthy Workshop: Find Your Food Freedom In 5 Simple Steps & Lose Weight Before Christmasof knowing all too well the shame of feeling out of control and that food was my enemy when emotional and stress eating would kick in. 

Sure there were times when I was the one in control and I was able to...

Have you had enough of the endless cycle of diets and struggles with your weight? 

Well lets take a fresh perspective and look at what you can do to create personal behaviour change that endures.  

In this episode, we delve deep into the root causes of overeating, emotional eating, and impulse-driven choices.  

You’ll gain valuable insights into understanding your own mind and body, and how to bridge the gap between what you want and what you eat and how building your Personal Health Leadership™ skills empowers you to take control of your habits and behaviours.

Tune in to this week’s episode of The Weight is Over™  and take...

How do we navigate our way through all the learned behaviours we have associated with food when we don’t even take them into consideration when we decide to lose weight? 

I know I never gave them a thought, in fact I didn’t even know I had eating “behaviours”! 

To be honest, I don’t know what I thought was going on behind the scenes of me, I just knew I was fat and the antidote to that problem was go on a diet (or take diet pills, or exercise my arse off, or not eat for days, or….”fill in the blank” of dysfunctional ways we have been taught to lose weight). 

Is it any wonder we end up with more problems than we started with?  

Being overweight isn’t actually our problem though.  

Being overweight is the result of problem. 

The problem is the habits and behaviours we’ve developed over our lifetime. 

It’s also our own...

In this episode, we do a dive deep into the fascinating world of our social circles and how they impact on your weight loss plans.  

I share real-life stories, expert insights, and practical tips to help you distinguish between supportive allies and unintentional saboteurs in your social circles and how to use personal health leadership™ skills to take the reins and navigate these influences like a pro, maintain relationships and stay on track.  

Learn to distinguish between those who support your goals and those who unintentionally hinder your progress.  

Gain insight into the subtle impact of societal norms and peer group pressure on your choices.  

By embracing your personal health leadership™ skills, you'll not only conquer the challenges but also find your freedom in a world full of temptations.  

Tune in to this week’s episode of The Weight is Over™  and...

It's a surreal moment isn't it?  

When you stand there, having an out of body experience watching yourself eat and wondering "Why can't I control my eating? Why am I putting food in my mouth I know I’ve decided not to eat? Why am I cheating on myself? I don't understand?"  

And even more bewildering is when you do all the "right things" and nothing happens or worse still, you put on weight!  

This is the shit that erodes at our confidence and image we have of ourselves. We think it’s an “us” thing, that no one else suffers this way and that everyone else has self-control.  

The real question becomes "How do I change what’s happening so I can get the health and life I want?"  

Now that question took me a quarter of a century to find the answer for.  

Here’s what I discovered and how I found my freedom:

Adrianna Huffington said in a recent article “We can’t let these extraordinary advances (in technology) blind us to the tragedy of modern healthcare and to the much-neglected miracle drug right in front of us: our daily behaviors.” 

She asks the very relevant question “Why is the power of behaviour change so overlooked?” as she pointed out that “whilst most people find it too hard to do, science shows that behavior change is absolutely possible when it’s done right.” 

The problem is how to find someone who actually has a complete change behaviour process and program ready and waiting for you to step straight into so you can find your freedom. 

Bookshop and online shelves are overflowing with books about how to create a new habit, and why we need to improve our unhealthy habits. 

Creating new habits through changing our behaviours is only half the story though right? We also have to...
