    Halloween Candy Is Not a Dementor

    The bags of Halloween candy were on sale. You bought them for the trick-or-treaters. But somehow, one of them is already open. For a lot of us, Halloween candy feels like it has magical power over us. It's just a few hours of trick-or-treating, so why does it so often lead to a holiday season full of regret? In this episode, we're opening the Marauder's Map to find out what's really going on, and how to get through Halloween enjoying the candy you love without feeling like your soul got sucked out on November 1. No willpower required, and nobody's getting sent to detention. (And if you've never read Harry Potter, don't worry. You'll still get plenty out of this one.) This episode is for you if: You've already "accidentally" started on the Halloween candyYou feel like you lose all control around candy this time of yearYou're worried that one night of candy will turn into eating whatever you want until New Year'sNo Judgment Group Weight Loss Coaching starts this Wednesday, October 21.

    The Reason You Overeat That No Diet Will Ever Fix

    Don't miss your chance to get into the last round of No Judgment! Book your free consultation here: https://calendly.com/kathybedwardconsult/30min You've probably heard it before: "You need to become your own best friend." Okay. But what does that actually mean? How do you do it? How do you learn to cheer for yourself when you've spent years being your own harshest critic? Here's the thing. When we're deep in our own struggles with food, weight, and our bodies, our viewpoint shrinks. We keep looking at the same problem from the same angle and getting the same answers. Sometimes what we need is to see the issue in a completely different context. An analogy, a situation from another area of life, something that makes the light bulb go on. That's what this episode is about. I want to help your mind open up so you can see what rooting for yourself really looks like, and why it matters so much more than you might think when it comes to food. This episode is for you if: You take care of everyone else and feel like food is the one thing that's just for youYou rarely give yourself credit, but you're quick to notice everything you did wrongYou've done every diet and still find yourself eating when you're not hungry.If you'd like support learning how to be in your own corner, book a free call with me: https://calendly.com/kathybedwardconsult/30min Listen to Episode 130: When Your Spouse or Family Member Doesn't Support Your Weight Loss: https://www.kathybedward.com/blog/when-your-spouse-or-family-doesnt-support-your-weight-loss Please leave a review of The Scales of Wellness podcast on Apple iTunes.

    The Rachel Pregnancy Test Episode and Why You Judge Your Own Urges

    Don't miss your chance to get into the last round of No Judgment! Book your free consultation here: https://calendly.com/kathybedwardconsult/30min I'm sitting down to work, and out of nowhere, I get the urge to watch one specific Friends clip. Immediate reaction: that would be irresponsible. There's work to do. Then the negotiation starts. It's only five minutes. It won't matter that much. Except how often does anyone actually watch just one video? "This one looks funny too." "Just one more." And suddenly an hour is gone. In that moment, it feels like there are only two options: watch it and hope I "do better" this time, or grit my teeth and force myself to resist. But there's a third option, and it's the one nobody teaches you. Instead of judging the urge, get curious about it. Why this urge? Why this particular clip? Why right now? When I actually asked myself that, the answer surprised me. And it led to insights about myself that I hadn't figured out any other way. Here's the thing. This isn't really about Friends, or ice cream, or any specific craving. It's about what urges are actually made of, and why the same pattern shows up whether it's a TV show or a plate of food. In this episode, I walk through exactly how I traced one urge back to what was really going on, why the "just resist it" approach never works long-term, and why doing this for yourself is so much harder than spotting the pattern in someone else's story. If you've ever felt an urge and immediately called yourself weak, undisciplined, or out of control for having it, this episode is for you.

    22 Lbs. Lighter Because Food is No Longer My Enemy: Client Interview with Michelle Smith

    Don't miss your chance to get into the last round of No Judgment! Book your free consultation here: https://calendly.com/kathybedwardconsult/30min In this episode, you'll meet Michelle Smith, master piano teacher, pickleball coach, and all-around amazing human being. She had struggled for years with her weight, her relationship with food, her cortisol levels, and more. She tried keto, carnivore, and at the suggestion of her doctor, intermittent fasting. Nothing worked, and she in fact just got heavier. Listen to her story of what prompted her to join No Judgment, how she was convinced that she would be the one person who wouldn't lose weight, what she learned in the program, and the results that she has gotten (including her cholesterol going down 90 points!) To inquire about taking piano lessons and/or pickleball lessons with Michelle in Libertyville, Illinois, email her at zimbabart@comcast.net Listen to episode 60: Lessons Learned From Taking Piano and How They Translate to Weight Loss: https://www.kathybedward.com/blog/lessons-learned-from-taking-piano-and-how-they-translate-to-weight-loss Listen to episode 69: Stopping Food Noise: https://www.kathybedward.com/blog/stopping-food-noise Please leave a review of The Scales of Wellness podcast on Apple iTunes.

    Why Your Doctor Can't Help You Lose Weight

    Don't miss your chance to get into the last round of No Judgment! Book your free consultation here: https://calendly.com/kathybedwardconsult/30min Your doctor spent four years in medical school and years more in residency. Somewhere in the middle of all that training, nutrition got about 19 hours. What if I told you that number isn't a fluke? It's not one bad school or one distracted student. It's the norm, and it explains something most people have never actually stopped to think through: why doctors, who genuinely care about your health, so rarely help you lose weight in any lasting way. In this episode I walk through how doctors are trained, what they're actually equipped to do, and what they're not. I also get into something a lot of people don't realize: there's a good chance you're not even seeing a doctor at your next appointment, and what that means for you. Then I look at the massive industry that sprang up to fill this exact gap, and why so much of it has nothing to do with actually building health. If you've ever left an appointment feeling brushed off, or wondered why "eat less, move more" was the extent of the advice you got, or wondered why a $200 cream is easier to find than real help with your relationship to food, this episode connects all of it.

    200 Hours Before the Keys: What Habitat for Humanity Knows About Keeping the Weight Off

    Don't miss your chance to get into the last round of No Judgment! Book your free consultation here: https://calendly.com/kathybedwardconsult/30min I've never paid myself a salary from this business. Every dollar of profit this company makes goes somewhere else.  Why do I even charge money for my coaching in that case?  Let's talk about that, as well as where DO my profits go? And why? In this episode, I talk in detail about a specific charity that I care about deeply, and its impact, which I have no doubt will surprise you. Next (and this is fascinating) I connect the dots between how that organization operates and how my coaching approach works. If you've ever wondered what actually happens to the money you spend with a small business, or if you've ever wondered why my coaching approach works when so many other things haven't, this episode answers both.

    The Simplest and Messiest Weight Loss Tool You're Probably Not Using

    Don't miss your chance to get into the last round of No Judgment! Book your free consultation here: https://calendly.com/kathybedwardconsult/30min You catch yourself standing at the pantry at 8pm. You know you are not hungry, but you are most definitely WANTING food. And you have no idea why. What if I told you that there is a tool that can help you figure out exactly why you do this? It costs nothing. It does not require a meal plan, a tracking app, or anything fancy or expensive.  It's one of the most extraordinarily fast and effective tools you can use, and there's a very good chance you already own everything you'd need to start tonight. I have had many clients who initially told me that this tool was not going to work for them. As they work with me, they usually find that it's become one of the most useful parts of their whole process. This tool will slow you down. It will show you the real reasons behind wanting to overeat (it's never actually random). You can then make progress towards your weight loss goal instead of just feeling the pull of a craving and eating without knowing why. In this episode, I walk you through what this tool is, why it works, why you're probably not using it even though you've heard of it before, and why the version of it that you're picturing right now is almost certainly wrong. If you've ever eaten your way through your feelings, if you've told yourself "I'll figure out why later" and never did, if you've already written yourself off as someone this won't work for, this episode is for you.
