Giving into cravings is a habit, and managing them is a skill that is practiced. Nothing has gone wrong, you just haven't mastered the skill of allowing urges yet! Our brains are wired to avoid pain, seek pleasure and conserve energy (in psychology it's known as the motivational triad) and the more that you give into the…

First I want to validate you because I know how frustrating and discouraging a stall can be. Take some time to be compassionate with yourself right now. 💕🫶🏽 That being said, it’s important to remember that the problem is never that the number on the scale isn’t changing…the problem is what we’re making it (the number on…

I’m curious—you said you’re not seeing any real weight loss and you’re beginning to think what’s the point? What is the point? I mean that in the most compassionate way—remind yourself why you started. Actually answer the question—what is the point of this weight loss endeavor for you?

There is math and there is drama and our brains loveeeeee to move into drama. Hypothesize what will help you lose weight. Do that.

Welcome! I want to point out that you mentioned you “have a long way to go” as if that’s a fact. I don’t know about you, but when I think “I have a long way to go” that generates a feeling of dread and resistance for me! Our brain loves to come up with these stories about our circumstances and it’s just important to check…

If you believe the story “I have the worst addiction to fast food” your brain will go to work to prove that story true time after time. So long as you’re “fighting” the cravings that you’re having…i.e. you vs you…you can’t win. How does it feel when you think you have the worst addiction to fast food? If I had to guess,…

Welcome! When we tell ourselves “I’ve never really had a good relationship with food”, “I have no idea what I am doing” and “I’ve never been able to keep it off” that can leave us feeling confused, inadequate, hopeless or lacking somehow…of course it’s hard to stay positive when those thoughts are running in the…

You said that you’re trying to regain your confidence and lose 30 lbs. If you believe that losing the 30 lbs will bring you confidence, it won’t..believe it or not, the confidence has to come first. Do you feel confident when you think things like “It has taken me SO LONG to lose 3 pounds” “Every time I get my hopes up and…
