In today's episode, we are going to talk about some of the things that our clients have raved to us recently about. Sometimes, more than one of our clients will really love a certain product or app independently, so we have been keeping track of those things to share with you in case you could use some of these tools. There's some pretty cool stuff that's come around, from air fryers, to instant pots, to walking pads. But we want to make it clear that we're not here just to tell you to buy more stuff! You can just eat well and move and not need any products or purchases to support you in that. However, the whole reason this podcast exists is because it's not always simple and it's definitely not easy to eat well, maintain a healthy weight or stay fit.Guidance and tools can be helpful and even necessary to succeed.  And most importantly, they can make the whole process more fun and enjoyable.

Today we are going to hear another call between Georgie and her client Chelsea. When you are managing your weight and seeing the scale go in the direction you want it to, it's important to keep weight loss in perspective of your overall life. It can be so easy to want to get too hooked on the scale and try to "hurry it up" which can lead to potentially overextending yourself into diet land. Chelsea is aware of this and taking caution. Additionally, Georgie and Chelsea talk about what to consider when managing the level of effort you are putting into weight loss. If you feel like you are putting in too much effort and experiencing feelings of deprivation, those are strong predictors of becoming unhappy, rebounding into binge eating, or just flat out quitting. On the other hand, if you don't put in any effort, change simply isn't going to happen. You can learn a lot from this conversation about dialing in the right amount of effort, how to deal with thoughts of "earning dessert" at the end of the day, and other challenges that come while managing your health journey. Connect with Georgie and the Confident Eaters Coaches: WebsiteFacebookGeorgie's Instagram Christina's Instagram Have you ever thought, "I know what to do, I just need to consistently do it"?

Maybe you are like many people we work with: you know how you want to eat, but your actual eating often looks pretty different. This can happen for all sorts of different reasons, but some of our clients can narrow it down to the ever changing environment of their life.Maybe you travel often, making your home in several countries in any given year. Each stop means a different kitchen, different grocery store, and different routines. Or maybe you aren't a constant international traveler, but perhaps you have felt that changes to your routine or lifestyle throw your eating into chaos. Whether it's a new job, a new school schedule, client meetings for work, a new family member, pet or roommate, these varying meal environments can sometimes make you feel trapped, like you can't possibly have good habits with your lifestyle.  Join Georgie and Christina as we share some of the solutions that work well for our clients and prove to yourself that you can actually lose weight despite an ever changing environment with the 4 components of the Art of Adaptability.

We often hear from our clients that body and weight have been a topic of conversation from the time they were little kids. Your body and weight may have been criticized, policed, praised, scrutinized, shamed, or complimented early in life and it doesn't stop when we grow up either. Your personal trainer, doctor, friends, or spouse might say something about your weight, especially if it has gone up or down recently. Receiving critical comments about our bodies can be annoying, discouraging, and damaging to our overall health and well being. Hearing something positive about our body or appearance might feel really good. But is it as simple as people saying negative things about our bodies makes us feel bad and saying positive things makes us feel good? Not quite. Join Georgie and Christina as we discuss how we help clients navigate body talk and compliments. In the episode, we cover some tips on giving compliments to other people And in the second part of the episode, we talk about how to be on the receiving end of body talk with real client examples.
