Eat with Confidence

In this episode, I want to challenge you to do something hard. I'm going to tell you about 2 books I recently read that inspired me to push myself further and conquer something I've always run away from. And I want you to join me! We all want to live great lives. Nobody wants to settle for a life that's "fine.” You want amazing. And you can’t get amazing without some work. So let’s challenge ourselves, go further than we’ve gone. Let’s embrace discomfort and do it anyway.

Ever wondered how to start on this process of healing your relationship with food or becoming an intuitive eater...without a clear plan? This episode is my attempt to answer that question. How I live and make good decisions (for the most part) honoring my own best interest, without a clear-cut set of rules or instructions. Avoid the trap of overwhelm with all the good resources out there and learn how to move forward - even if you're not certain what it will look like in the future.

Today I'm interviewing Julie Newbry from @the.intuitive.trainer and you're going to love her! She shares her story about her struggle with an eating disorder, her journey to healing by practicing the principles of Intuitive Eating, and her thoughts on exercise (intuitive movement) as a NASM certified personal trainer. Go follow Julie on Instagram to keep learning from her!

Let's get a bit biblical here as I tell you the parable of the sock basket. Just kidding - it's not biblical at all. :) But I do want to compare my sock basket to your relationship with food and encourage you to do the work that will lead to lasting change and the life you want to live. I'm also inviting you to join my group coaching membership, Eat Happy Collective. Head on over to nutritionredefined.co/membership to join - doors are closing soon and won't open again until July 2018!

This Q+A call covered a ton of ground - topics like how to stop sabotaging yourself with your food choices, how to heal your relationship with exercise, and how to teach your children these principles.  I also opened the doors to Eat Happy Collective, my brand new monthly membership group coaching program. Go to nutritionredefined.co/membership to join me inside - doors are only open for a few days and won't open again until July!

Today I'm diving deeper into the idea I hear all the time - that all this stuff about healing your relationship with food is great and important, but FIRST I just need to lose some weight. Then, I'll do the real work. I'm talking more about my beliefs about weight loss, why it's a problem to be so focused on our weight, and what to focus on instead to get the results you really want. Which is so much more about the way you feel than the way you look! 

I'm sharing a small experience I had a few days ago that had a powerful impact on the way I'll do things going forward. I'm talking about compliments and the way we speak to each other as women. The power of our words is greater than we know, and I'm encouraging you to start paying more attention to your words - especially when it comes to giving compliments. 

What I'm talking about today is an essential message for all women to hear. Shame is not a diet plan, and you don't need shame to develop healthy habits. In fact, shame is what's holding you back from happiness and confidence.  If you love this episode and want more along these lines, go watch the replay of my masterclass, Heal Your Relationship with Food, and join my group coaching workshop for the month. I'll help you apply these concepts to your life!

In this episode, I'm talking about your relationship with food and, of course, how it's not as much about the food as you think it is. The way you feel about and relate to food is the best foundation to work on so that the food part comes easily.

In this episode, I get a little bit heated (can't help myself) talking about your relationship with the scale. I’ll talk about how often I really think you should weigh yourself and why. And then I give you a big challenge at the end that I want you to take. And then hop over to Instagram or shoot me an email and tell me how it changes your life, because it will.

In this episode I discuss a quote from one of my favorite books, Health at Every Size by Linda Bacon. I talk about how food and body obsession are a distraction from happiness and living our best life, and encourage you to let go of weight and perfect nutrition to find more happiness. No need to feel shame and guilt every time you look in the mirror - there's more to life than being disappointed in your reflection. Let's get out there and live an abundant life free of guilt and food restriction!
