The Happy Weight Podcast

Most weight problems stem from an all-or-nothing attitude toward food. We are either not allowing ourselves to have something, or we are on a cheat day/ not caring day and eating loads of it to discomfort. Neither is good. The happy ever after we want with eating and weight requires getting to a less chaotic, more regulated, positive place with all foods.

Ireland's boxing legend Katie Taylor had her final fight last Saturday night. Her speech after winning gave us an insight into her winning mindset and self-talk.In this episode, I pick apart 4 concepts from Katie's speech and compare them to some of the best and worst mindsets we can have when it comes to eating, weight and our bodies.

Comfort eating can have a lot to do with how the people around us are affecting how we feel. In this episode, I talk about how other people can lead us to overeat and share strategies to reframe things and avoid turning to food. I also share some ideas I love from Rhonda Byrne’s The Power, Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements and Tara Swart’s The Source.

When old thoughts win, and we go back to hating our body it generally leads to eating and not caring : not caring about food- respecting it, being grateful for it, not caring about what it tastes like,or how it's going to make us feel after. So it's not nice on any level, either on the day or afterwards dealing with the weight we gain from these kinda days. In this episode I explain how to seperate body imaging from eating.

We all have many very real obstacles against us when we decide we want to come out of eating and weight issues. But this episode is to help you move forward and have hope, no matter what.
