    "Does It Ever Get Easier?" - Part 2 (Outweigh)

    "Does It Ever Get Easier?" - Part 2 (Outweigh)

    OUTWEIGH: Leanne is back to continue the conversation from last week and dives deeper into the question of "Does it ever get easier?".  She argues that restrictive diets and intense exercise plans create a cycle of difficulty and ultimately fail because they train your brain for "hard work" instead of  training it for"ease."  This week Leanne literally shares a step-by-step checklist for how you can make sure your brain is focusing on creating "ease" by practicing behaviors that are enjoyable, sustainable, and create a sense of freedom.  You can take this "checklist" of practices that cultivate ease (flexibility, consistency, happiness)  contrasted with practices that reinforce difficulty (control, pain, guilt) to make sure that YOUR brain is set up for success.  By understanding these two categories (when your brain is practicing EASE vs. when your brain is practicing HARD), you can choose the path of least resistance which leads to lasting change and a more peaceful relationship with food and your body.

    "Does It Ever Get Easier?" - Part 1 (Outweigh)

    OUTWEIGH: On this week's episode of Outweigh, Leanne tackles a question on every woman's mind stuck in the diet-and-weight-loss cycle: "Does it ever get easier?"  Leanne challenges the idea of quick-fix diets and restrictive plans, arguing that they simply create more of the yo-yo effect that you're desperate to break free from AND leave you feeling like a prisoner in your own body.

    Instead, she proposes a different approach:  focusing on the "why" behind your struggles with food and body image. By becoming a master of your thoughts and habits,  you can break free from the "diet mentality" and start creating sustainable change.  The episode offers a seed of hope, suggesting that true ease comes from changing your thinking, not through sheer willpower and deprivation.HOST: Leanne Ellington // StresslessEating.com // @leanneellington

Compassionate and hopeful!

I had listed to the Four Things podcast previously and when I saw this one I immediately followed it. My 14 year old daughter was diagnosed with an eating disorder in March of this year. We’ve been on a roller coaster with all the things that having a child with an eating disorder bring including multiple hospital admissions, a residential treatment stay and soon a virtual PHP program. This podcast is compassionate and has given me hope that there will be life on the other side of this.

Addressing the Stigma

I enjoyed listening to Amy & Lisa. My client sent me this podcast. As a larger size fitness instructor/trainer, I experienced the type of behavior towards me. They come to after class in shocked that it was an intense class.
