Understanding that the reason we are overweight is because we overeat.

Figuring out why we overeat is the nugget to help us lose weight and keep it off for life.

I was so freaking mad at my husband! I was trying to rest and he was making as much noise as possible (I was sure of it!).

My problem however, was not the noise my husband was making, it was the fact I didn’t set myself up for success to begin with!

Most women’s experience with weight loss is negative. So I explored the idea of helping women lose weight “joyfully”.

What would Joyful Weight Loss even look like? I teach three pillars of joyful weight loss.

Everyone of my weight loss clients who are having incredible weight loss, all have this in common – they meal plan.

They know what they are going to eat 24 hours in advance.

When it was brought to my attention that I had messed up, I instantly felt horrible. I was sitting in feelings of shame, guilt and embarrassment.

My brain instantly wanted me to believe that because I did something wrong, it meant there was something wrong with me.

As a young mother of three, life was as busy, as expected.
Throw in a life-threatening illness of one of our children and a parent diagnosed with terminal illness and it was the perfect breeding ground for feelings like overwhelm, anxiety and stress.

Many of my clients say the same thing over and over: I WANT to lose weight.

Do this ONE small thing right now that will have a HUGE impact on your weight loss.

Two people can be told the same “facts” and have such varying responses.
 
It doesn’t have to mean one person’s interpretation is right or wrong…they are just different and both offer different results in your life.

When we feel stress, anger and judgement …we spin around questioning everything that is going on and “wishing” things were different, leaving us feeling out of control.

We resist what is happening in our life and stay stuck from moving forward.
