Weight Loss Winformation

This week we pick up where we left off last week when we talked about how our filtered and familiar automatic negative thoughts interfere with our reaching our goals in so many areas of our lives. Today we pick up that conversation and talk about identifying what we are carrying around inside ourselves that is negative and spills out everywhere in our present-day life. Learning to identify what is driving our self-sabotaging behaviors and implementing skills that reform our sabotaging thoughts and behaviors is so worth the effort. Listen in and learn how to do this!

No matter how you are working to lose weight and no matter how much weight you want to lose, Weight Loss Winformation will keep you moving in a positive direction. Let’s get started because well… Why Weight? (get it? Pun intended… )?

Today’s episode may be one of the most important episodes of this entire 303 podcast episodes! Why! Because it highlights one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself to make healthy changes in your life. Not only in your weight loss journey, although certainly in this area of your life. But in your relationships, your job, and your self-worth! We all cling to a narrative that was created by filtered and familiar thoughts from a lifetime of experiences and your own judgements and conclusions. These lead to emotionally driven reactions to present-day situations that lead us away from what we want in life. Enough said. Jump into this one!
