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.

Which is great!
And can also be a minefield is you’re trying to lose weight.
So today we’re talking about TRAVEL.
Travel doesn’t have to be a disaster nor does it need to set you back and undo all the progress you’ve made. But it does take some intentional thought. So let’s dive in!

Have you ever finished the box of crackers or the package of cookies, just to get it out of the house? Have you ever eaten your kids’ leftovers because you don’t want to let the food go to waste? Or maybe you’ve looked at something leftover in the fridge and thought, “Well I might as well eat this because no one else in the family will.”
Not letting food “go to waste” can be one of the toughest, most deeply ingrained roadblocks that we face. There are lots of reasons why that belief is so deeply entrenched in our brains.
Today we’re going to talk about why it’s hard to let food go to waste.
Then we’ll walk through 4 different ways to look at the idea of wasting food and shifting your perspective on it.
And finally, we’re going to walk through a very specific exercise to dismantle that old belief and allow you to open up to the possibility that that old narrative may not be serving you and you can make a new choice.
Ready to examine some old beliefs?

Have you ever been trying to change a habit like eat less sugar or drink less wine and you’ve got yourself a nice plan thinking “Today I will NOT have sugar. I will be strong.”
And then somewhere along the way your brain sneaks in a thought like, “some chocolate would be really great right now.” or “I just want something sweet” or maybe it’s even that the sugar is there in front of you like in the candy bowl at the office, and you feel like you’re mentally holding on by your fingernails.
You think to yourself, “What is wrong with me that I make a promise to myself and then I want to go back on it at the first moment of temptation?”
Today we’re going to talk about it’s not your fault that you want to go back on your word to yourself and how to look at that whole situation a little differently.
Ready for a mindset shift for your brain?

Do you ever feel guilty when you eat a certain type of food?
Do you think of certain categories of food as “good” or “bad”?
When was the last time you ate a cookie or a piece of cake without feeling guilty?
Today we’re going to talk about food labeling. That's what we’re doing when we say “I was bad last night.” or when we say “sugar is bad” or “I’ve been good all week.”
We’re going to talk about:
How we’re programmed to think that way
How that kind of thinking is actually holding you back.
And how to think about it instead.
Ready to redefine what you think of as good or bad when it comes to food?
Nice.
Let’s get to it.
