Fat Murder Podcast Leslie Hooper

In this week's episode of the Outsmart Overeating Podcast, I respond to a client's email who is beginning to recognize that she had inherited outdated, unhelpful beliefs that caused her to self-sabotage.
 
Due to her family history, she internalized a negative narrative about the women in her family being doomed to be fat, especially after having children and ageing. This belief was so deeply rooted in her subconscious that she didn't even realize how it was influencing the way she was interacting with food today.
 
Upon closer inspection and with the help of the Unstuffed program, she has recognized how these self-limiting beliefs and lifelong habits that have gone unchecked aren't actually written in stone. In fact, quite the opposite.
 
With intentional effort and a clear plan of action, not-only can they be changed, but they can change your life in a dramatic way... without eliminating your favorite foods or doing mind-numbing cardio.
 
To hear her story and to learn how she's adopting the thoughts and eating habits of a 'naturally thin' person that has contributed to a signifcant weight loss in the past 6 weeks, check out today's full episode.

If you're you've ever said:
 
"I don't know when I'll get to eat this again."
 
"I need to eat all of this now because tomorrow it's back to the diet!"
 
"I'll get back on track on Monday."
 
This tells me you're someone who struggles with the "all-or-nothing" mindset. Unfortunately, when you have this thought pattern, it makes consistency nearly impossible to achieve. And consistency is essential for success.
 
This week I discuss how to drop the "back on track" perfectionist mindset creates a cycle of self-sabotage and how you can break it, once and for all.
 
It's impossible to achieve your goal if every time you have a minor setback, you quit on yourself and if that sounds like you, this week's episode is a must listen.

What most dieters don't realize is that their quest for weight loss has more to do with feeling 'not good enough' and less to do with losing pounds.
 
What they TRULY want is access to the life that they think is waiting for them on the other side of weight loss -- more dating prospects, more respect, more confidence, more clothing options, etc.
 
It's not about the weight itself. It's about having an emotional experience. And until dieters connect these two dots, there will never be enough weight loss in the world that can satisfy their need for self-acceptance, because self-acceptance isn't a number on a scale, it's an emotional experience. And it's not one that's exclusively available to people who fit into society's beauty ideals.
 
Join me on this episode of the Outsmart Overeating Podcast as I discuss how being consumed with our bodies and things like calories, workouts, and weight-loss best practices, we lose the joy that comes with experiencing a full and vibrant life.
 
We’re so focused on the end result of one aspect of who we are that we completely miss the beautiful life we've created that's already unfolding around us, leaving us feel empty and disatisfied.

This week on the Outsmart Overeating Podcast, I discuss an urge to eat when you’re not physically hungry and what to do with it when it happens.


In my psychology-based weight loss program, Unstuffed, we refer to this as “mind hunger” and it’s rooted in an emotional need not being met.


Once you’ve come to grips with being an emotional eater, it’s important to have a process to begin working through them in a healthy way that doesn’t involve stuffing them down with food.


In 17 years of coaching, I’ve never had a client tell me they’re comfortable sitting with their emotions when they surface — their coping mechanism is almost always a distraction; a way to numb or mentally check out through exercise, watching TV, eating, etc.


Because they are unfamiliar with the way the body communicates its needs through emotions, they can feel scary, but they’re not. It’s the fear of the unknown that makes them uncomfortable.


When we learn to invite emotions into our lives without judgment, we also learn how to make ourselves feel safe and secure.


Emotions are our friends. They aren’t always accurate truth tellers, and often don’t match the situation that made us feel the way we feel.


This is why observing them without attaching a story or narrative is a life-changing exercise.


Check out this week’s episode to learn the four steps that will help you stop eating your feelings today.

Once you’ve come to grips with the concept that all overeating is rooted in having an emotional experience, you’ll need to learn how to work through them in a healthy way that doesn’t involve stuffing them down with food.


In two decades of coaching, I’ve never had a client tell me they’re comfortable sitting with their emotions when they surface — their coping mechanism is almost always a distraction; a way to numb or mentally check out through exercise, watching TV, eating, etc.


Because they are unfamiliar with the way the body communicates its needs through emotions, they can feel scary, but they’re not. It’s the fear of the unknown that makes them uncomfortable.


In today’s episode of the Outsmart Overeating Podcast, Coach Steph Miramontes and I discuss the 4 sneaky ways you’re still overeating and yes… ALL of them are rooted in having an emotional experience. Can you guess what they are?

Your relationship with exercise (or as I like to call it, movement), is just like your relationships with food... difficult and confusing to navigate.
 
You may be thinking, “Why? I love exercising! It makes me feel incredible. It's my stress reliever!" And that may be true, it can be super rewarding and enjoyable. It can make us feel strong, empowered, confident and appreciative of our bodies.
 
So, when and where does it begin to make an unhealthy turn?
  Because diet culture is often about promoting extremes, movement has been twisted into something we’re “supposed” to do.
 
For instance, we’re “supposed” to burn calories, manipulate how our bodies look, and punish ourselves for eating. Obviously when we view exercise through this lens, it removes the enjoyment and replaces it with numbers and a pursuit of external validation.
  Join me on today's episode while I explain the 7 signs of having an unhealthy relationship with exercise. If you have any of these mental frameworks, you may be at risk of overexercising and slowing down your weight loss results.
