• Episode 42 - Unpacking emotional eating and how to deal with it.

  Many of my accountability coaching clients have trouble with emotional eating and fall into the trap of using food to manage 'unbearable feelings', quell boredom or just generally deal with stress.   This episode explores some of the causes of emotional eating and some strategies for dealing with it.     !3 strategies for managing emotional eating:  Keep a food / mood dairy  Tame your stress  Check-in with your hunger – is it thirst or is it that you are thinking about food?   Get support – call a friend,  join a support group,  let me help you… Fight boredom - Instead of snacking when you're not hungry, distract yourself and substitute a healthier behaviour.  Take away temptation – don’t  have the foods in the house that tempt you… Don’t deprive yourself – don’t limit calories too much,  keep the balance of food right,  eat large amounts of healthy food Snack on healthy things  Learn from your setbacks   Move your body Schedule your meals Banish distractions like TV Positive self talk   Enjoy,  keep the feedback coming and let me know what you want to know more about..

• Episode 41 - All about your arms and how to love and accept them

  One of the most hated parts of the female body that I hear about all the time is the upper arms.   As the summer heats up there are some ladies that are battling the heat with long sleeves and covered arms.   We New Zealanders are notoriously bashful about our arms.  This podcast unpacks all the issues we experience around our arms and also gives some tips and tricks on how to fall back in love with your arms and actually improve them so you can gain confidence.   Physically what can you do to improve your arms:  Do upper body weights Get your arms out in the air and sun Body weight exercises like press up and tricep dips  Loose body fat How to change your narrative around your arms (if you need to): Stop and identify negative thoughts. Challenge your negative thoughts. Write down what you like about your body. Wear clothes that fit you well. Treat your body with respect. Do activities that you enjoy or that help you relax Wear the singlet top Tell yourself that your arms are great Thank you so much for listening...

• Episode 40 - How your mindset impacts your health (and weight)....

  Our minds are super powerful.  This podcast explores how our mindset impacts our health and sometimes also our weight.   When researching this podcast what stood out for me was  - adopting a choosing vs a cheating mindset about food - what are we choosing for our health?   Im on a constant journey of sugar reduction so this is an interesting thought as I don't need to lose weight but could improve my health in this area....   This podcast explores a fixed vs a growth mindset and also how to 'unfix' a fixed mindset as well as some mindset shifts for better health and weight loss.   How to 'unfix' a fixed mindset Focus on the journey  Incorporate ‘yet’ Pay attention to your words and thoughts Take on challenges 6 Mindset shifts for a better health outcome (and weight loss if you want it)  Focus on the bigger picture of overall health improvements - digestion,  stress,  emotional health, immunity,  joint health ,  cardiovascular health, less alcohol etc...  Have a specific action plan for how you will improve your health Ditch the perfectionist mentality - there will be hiccups and mistakes along the way but move along from these and stay on track and problem solve how to make healthy choices next time.  Adopt a choosing VS cheating  mindset around food Focus on what you can control – your sleep, water,  protein intake Surround yourself with supportive people. I enjoyed the book by Carol Dweck 'Mindset:  The New Psychology of Success'.  This is a great read in this area.   Enjoy the podcast
