Description

Have you ever found yourself obsessing over what's for lunch while you're still eating breakfast?  Or maybe you're constantly negotiating with your inner voice asking, “Am I hungry? I’m not sure. Even if I’m not hungry, and WANT something….” and those thoughts in your head just won't give you a break? 
 
And that’s just the mental chatter. There’s also FEAR. 
Fear of hunger. So many of us are afraid to feel hungry - for valid reasons! 
And there’s the more subtle but persistent fears about What if I never lose weight? 
What if I try and fail, again. 
What if I DO lose weight and start attracting unwanted attention? 
What if I gain the weight back?



 
Why do we let our minds run wild with food and fear thoughts, turning them into a never-ending mental marathon?
 
Let’s talk about mental chatter. 
Why it’s so normal and it’s not your fault that your brain ruminates on these thoughts. 
We'll explore how to turn down the volume in your brain and make those food thoughts no big deal.

 
But here's the real puzzler: 
What if fear wasn't something to dread? 
 
What if it was more like a friendly, albeit quirky, companion on your weight loss journey? In this episode, and show you how fear can become your ally, not your adversary.
 
Ready to unravel the mystery of why we're so afraid of fear itself and how we can turn it into an ally? 
Aw yeah! Let’s get to it!

Welcome to the Confident Body Podcast where we talk about all the mental and emotional parts of weight loss that diets don’t tell you. I spent most of my life feeling self-conscious about my body, looking for the next diet, or wishing I could just lose a few pounds. After feeling massive imposter syndrome teaching fitness, I began to wonder if there was more to feeling great than just nutrition and exercise. I realized that feeling confident in your skin is more about what’s between your ears than what’s on your plate. I began to understand how diets go against the way your brain is naturally wired and how diets make it so hard to lose weight long term. I learned specific strategies and tools to work WITH my brain to lose weight for good and finally feel confident in my body. And you can too.
