3 Weight Loss Mistakes

Tell me has this ever happened to you?

You put on a pair of pants and all of a sudden they're tighter than usual...its a little harder to get that zipper up and that button buttoned - then you wonder how you're gonna be able to breathe the rest of the day...

Or stepped on the scale and the number didn't budge or even worse it went up?

I remember that feeling all too well...part of me just wanted to give up and go fuck it eat and the other half wanted to buckle down and get super strict to get the fucking weight off…

What I did know was I didn't want to go up another jeans size ...again!

Don't Underestimate The Power Of Small Changes

We tend to discount the small changes that we make because we think: it’s not gonna be good enough, it’s gonna take too long, it’s not gonna make a difference…

How Comfortable Are You With Being Uncomfortable?

That's part of what makes weight loss so hard...you're making changes...changes to your diet...changes to your lifestyle...those are big ones.

That's gonna get uncomfortable sometimes. Your brain is gonna rebel, it's gonna want you to quit to keep you safe.

Why Your Diet May Be Making Weight Loss Harder

I work with a lot of women who, like me, have struggled with their weight for a long time.

And it's not for lack of trying. They are trying, in fact they’re working hard trying to do all the right things, eat healthy, exercise…but yet that damn scale still won’t budge!

More often than not, when we dive in and look at what they’re doing, what their diet looks like and their lifestyle it often turns out they’re eating too few calories

Do You Need Another Diet?

“I want to lose weight, but I am so sick of trying and failing diet after diet”.

I hear this all the time and I felt that way too.

There is no shortage of weight loss advice out there and it can be hard to wade through it all and find something that actually works…

I can say one thing with a lot of certainty - you don’t need another diet…you’ve done that already…you know how that turns out.

Stop Doing This If You Want Lasting Weight Loss

One of the biggest mistakes that I see women make when it comes to weight loss is eating too few calories…somewhere we got this idea into our heads that we need to be eating 1200 calories or less to be able to lose weight. And quite frankly that's bullshit!

1200 calories/day on a regular basis is just too low for most adults (see chart here)

Yes, you can lose weight that way…temporarily…

The Magic Pill

But as good as that sounds, those things never really work….

Weight loss takes some effort - plain and simple - most things that are worth it do...

Are You Struggling To Get The Scale to Budge?

This was me. I was eating healthy and exercising…diligently tracking every bite that went into my mouth…

But despite spending a good part of my day thinking about food – what I’m going to eat? When? How much? Will this make me fat?

I Like Things Simple...

I like simple…

If it’s complicated, time consuming or requires me to set up too many things I won’t do it! I feel the same when it comes to health and weight loss. We really make it all more complicated than it needs to be.
