#45 - What To Do When Your Significant Other Isn’t Healthy

Mon, 01 Apr 2019 00:00:00 -0400

What to do when you and your significant are out of sync in the health realm?

This topic sure can get touchy! Many of you tell us how hard it is to make changes when it seems like those around you couldn't care less. Especially when it’s the love of our life!

We get it... at different times it’s been challenging for us too!

We also know trying to exert change on an unwilling person is a recipe for disaster.

And when we do, it leaves us feeling frustrated, unsupported, and unloving...Not exactly our best selves!

So can you have health goals even when your significant other doesn’t?

We think so.

Here are a few points we cover:

How your health choices affect others paired with your expectations of them.
The role of awareness, acknowledgment, and control play in our desire to change others.

#35 - Counting Macros vs Eating Intuitively

Mon, 15 Oct 2018 00:00:00 -0400

In today's episode we are discussing allll of the details about Counting Macros vs Eating Intuitively.

‘Eating Intuitively’ is all the rage right now. And while we think it’s awesome, there are some challenges to be aware of before this can be the ‘end all-be all’ way of eating.

Intuition is a noun; meaning:

“the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning.”
“an ability to understand or know something without needing to think about it or use reason to discover it.”

Interesting right?

Can you imagine being able to EAT without needing to think about it?

Here's a few points that we cover today:

What can you learn from counting Macros or following structured eating plans?
How is intuition developed?
Which is better: Macro Counting or Intuitive Eating?
How do I know which way of eating is better for me?

#9 - Cravings vs Emotional Eating

Wed, 22 Nov 2017 00:00:00 -0500

In today's episode, we dive deep into the differences between cravings and emotional eating as well as some simple techniques to reduce them both!!

Some useful questions to ask yourself that might help you find some of your beliefs or issues include:

Do you remember any times you were ashamed about your body or had others say things about you that you felt ashamed of yourself?
When was the last time you were at your goal weight/shape? What was happening at that time?
What are your attitudes about overweight people? What were the attitudes of important others about overweight people?
What patterns exist in your family about food? Was it used to show love or as a punishment?
What statements do you say to yourself that are self-defeating, hurtful, and holding you back from getting what you want?

Some examples include:

It’s in my genes
I’ve never been slim so I can’t be
I’ll always be fat
I’m the fat funny one
If I let anyone get close to me they will hurt me
My friends/family won’t like me anymore

It is useful to ask yourself:

What are the benefits of staying overweight?
What do you have to give up to achieve your goal?
Do you use food as your main reward either for yourself or your children?

Read these questions out loud then sit quietly and listen to what you say to yourself. Write down your answers. Remember, the more honest you are with your thoughts and feelings, the more profound change you are able to achieve.
