#114, The Reasons You Might Emotionally Eat During the Holidays (And What to Do About It)
There are many reasons we struggle with our weight and making healthy choices during the holidays and no, it isn’t because the universe is working against you. It is simply a season with some circumstances that need to be thoughtfully approached and handled.

#112, Two Things that Will Help You at the Thanksgiving Day Table (Or Any Food-Centered Gathering)
If you have made it this far in the game and still feel like you are staying committed to your holiday weight loss or maintenance goals or simply honoring your body with those good choices, then you will still want to listen to this episode. Also, if you feel yourself on nutritional rocky ground these days then really pay attention to what we talk about today. In this episode I am going to break down two things you can do that will help you make wise choices at the Thanksgiving Day Table without leaving you feeling like you're in diet prison. This isn’t just an important concept for Thanksgiving, either, there are many food-centered gatherings from birthday parties to get-togethers with friends that will find you leaning toward choices that neither serve your body nor your plans.

#111, Make a Plan for “I don’t Want to”
I have been there, too. Lunch comes around and I stare at the wonderfully packed over-night oats I brought to work. I distinct voice in my head says: “I don’t want to.” and I’m overwhelmed with longing for a candy bar or something loaded with salt and grease that would make my heart happy (just not very healthy). I tend to panic, needing my brain to be on board with my choices or else french fries and chocolate bars will soon be shoved in my mouth.
So what do you do when you just don’t want to? I’ve got some great ideas for you. This is going to be a fun one.

#110, My Favorite Hacks for Accepting Food Gifts and Enjoying Them Without Paying the Price on My Waistline
The holidays aren’t just loaded with activities and social gatherings that come with all our favorite foods, we are also usually given food items as gifts. In fact, I remember growing up here in rural New Mexico, we had tons of neighbors and friends giving us food. We received anything from tamales to wrapped sweet breads to tins of chocolates. There were definitely items that we looked forward to each year and there was no way I was going to turn down that experience. I still look forward to those gifts. I love enjoying them, giving honest compliments, and giving my own offerings of sweet treats.
The question becomes, how do we accept food gifts, enjoy them, and still stay healthy throughout the holidays. I’ve got some great hacks for you today.

#109, Setting a Specific Weight Loss Goal for the Holidays
Yes, we’re a couple months or so from the time when new-year’s resolutions are going to be posted all over the internet, but as we enter into the holidays, this is the perfect time to set some goals for how we would like to handle the next couple months of celebrating. So, with this in mind, I’m going to talk to you today about how specific goals are powerful and how you can create them.

I’m passionate about this one because I’ve seen it work both for myself and so many women I’ve coached.

#106, Don’t Be a Jerk; Plan Treats.
I have so been looking forward to having this conversation with you. Right now, in our monthly challenge within Weight Loss from the Soul, we are taking a break from our trigger foods in order to regain some perspective on how those foods affect our brains and bodies. The next step though can be even harder, especially for my sweet sisters who have been putting themselves in ultra restrictive diet prisons for several years or decades: how to plan and enjoy treats.

#103, Shame Around Health and Choices
This is a special requested topic from a very sweet listener. She asked me what I thought about the shame and fear that comes with being overweight and either having or being at risk for more health issues. As you know, fear, shame, and worry can be killers for permanent weight loss. So on today’s podcast we are going to discuss what we can do if those feelings come up, especially if they derail us into unhealthy choices.

#92, Do You Want Freedom Around Food?
Desperate during COVID to reign in my emotional eating, I started looking for help. It was then that I stumbled upon Dr. Katrina Ubell’s podcast on weight loss for busy physicians where she asks her listeners if they want freedom around food. I was like, “YES! Duh, but is that even really possible?” Turns out it really, really is. On this podcast today I’m going to break down the three basic principles around finding freedom in your mind and body around food. Dr. Katrina Ubell and Resources: https://katrinaubellmd.com/

#90, What Do You Do When You Reach Your Goal Weight?
In this episode you are going to get an up-close and personal look at my weight loss journey ad how I’ve reached a point of weight maintenance. I think that over the twenty-ish year that I dieted I probably reached my happy goal weight at least a dozen times. It was like an end zone or finish line. I’d see the number on the scale, wink at myself in the mirror, and lay down all the good habits and processes that carried me to my goal. This had to stop. When I reached my goal weight back in 2020 I learned some fascinating things about what it meant to stay at that happy weight as part of a life-long process.

#89, Is a Lack of Time Getting in the Way of Your Weight Loss?
If there is one thing I’m good at, one thing that I could totally get a gold medal in, it is trying to cram too much into my day. I live with this fear that I don’t have enough time. However, it is this fear that gets in the way of me making the best choices for myself and my family.

How many of you are driving cross-country this summer? My little family and I are doing this and so are many of the women that I work with.

#86, Setting Up a Successful Weight Loss Summer
So last year was my first summer off since going back to teaching and to be honest, I didn’t prepare for what that would be like when it came to my eating. This year, I’m ready.

#85, Can You Stop Using Food to Fix It?
It’s 7:00 pm and the time is ticking down until I can put the girls in bed. I’m exhausted and there is still so much to do. I’ve had a truly long day and everything in me needs a break-body, mind, heart, and soul. However, I can’t stop. Micaela needs her meds and her cares done. Adela has a thousand things to share. The sink is heaped with dishes and the buzzer just went off alerting me that I need to switch laundry loads and pair up socks. The pressure builds and my feet take me to the pantry where I reach my hands into a bag of trail mix.

#84, But They Gave it to Me! (When People Love Us with Food)
So, Yes, I’ve had this plan the last couple weeks to get myself all beach-body ready. I only have a few weeks and time is crucial…and yet teacher appreciation week and day has also been upon me. As this season comes and goes, I want to touch on the subject of others loving us and trying to support us by giving us offerings of food.

#83, Angry Eating
During one of my group coaching sessions, a client admitted to me that she over-ate out of anger. I remember being a little surprised. Angry eating? That was a new one. We talked it over, diving a little into what was going on for her and what she could change, and then I kinda forgot about it. Little did I know that several months later I would be in tears, realizing that I was in a cycle of eating out of deep emotional anger. Do you angry eat or do other kinds of emotional eating? It’s going to get raw today, girls, but this topic is overdue.

#77, Why Do I Always Blow It on the Weekends?
So you come home. It’s Friday. And, at the end of a long hard week you just don’t seem to have the willpower to keep going with all those healthy habit changes. You decide to take the evening “off”. And, then, feeling tired Saturday morning, you decide that you really need more time to decompress so that day is also, “off”. Sunday comes around and you say, “Whatever. This weekend is already ruined. I’ll start fresh Monday.” Yes, ouch. After working so hard the majority of the week it stings to blow it on the weekend. But the solution isn’t will power, sweetheart.
