Confident Eaters

Today, we join Georgie and her client Chelsea once again. Chelsea has been making great progress, and you will see that she's somebody who has always taken a very easygoing approach to meeting her goals to lose body fat and weight while still enjoying her life and having a good time  practicing for competitive dance, which she engages in regularly.As you hear right from her own lips, she has made so much progress without suffering because she has been patient, because she's allowed the process to take the time that it takes. She's improved her habits and her body has changed, and she knows that it will continue to change without suffering. Another helpful point of this conversation comes up about what to do when you feel like not cooking. When you just don't have the energy, the days when you're tempted to Door Dash or just pick up something on the way home or go through a drive-through. We want Chelsea (and you) to know how someone can be in that state and still get nutritious food without necessarily forcing yourself to cook. We hope you enjoy the show! If you could use some support in making progress towards your goals without suffering, that is our specialty and we'd love to talk!

 Have you ever started a house project, knowing you have the tools you need, but you can't find the toolbox? You can experience the same thing when you are trying on new skills to cope with the difficulties of life, but food and eating still seems to be the default tools, and you can't access your new skills or tools in your time of need. We call this "the gap". It's that space between the knowing better and the doing better. Knowing has to come first, but then there's a lag where your old habits still fire automatically, or you find an excuse at the last second not to do the new behavior just yet. It's a really uncomfortable place to be and can really involve frustration.In the gap, we want you to learn how to make those new skills more accessible and easier to use when the moments of difficulty arise and urges to eat are strong. That's what we're talking about in today's episode: how to make those skills more accessible and attractive. If you feel like you are stuck in the gap, and you could use some support in practicing your new skills, check out this episode or reach out to use at confidenteaters.com to find out more about our coaching options. 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"?

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've also tried to take steps which should be effective at reducing your body weight, like eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking fewer sugary beverages, and learning to eat because you're hungry, not just bored.It might be that the consistency of your practice hasn't added up to being quite enough to show a meaningful difference on the scale. If you're thinking that sounds like you, then we want to help give you some direction. If you're looking for a better, bolder goal than just to "lose weight" this year, this episode is for you.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.

Could your boundaries use some work? If you've struggled with your health and weight for some time, you might be able to pinpoint it on certain life stressors, a demanding job, an injury, genetics, or the belief that you lack discipline.

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. And, as always, if you would like some support or you have a question you want us to answer on the podcast, we'd love to hear from you! 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"?
