    205. The Problem is You

    You set out to lose weight so you change your diet but you eventually slip back into old habits and your new way of eating goes out the window.

    204. Replay: 5 Tips to Avoid Gaining Weight This Holiday Season

    204. Replay: 5 Tips to Avoid Gaining Weight This Holiday Season

    It’s officially the Holiday Season and that means it’s time to gain a bunch of weight over the next 30 days and start the new year feeling like crap, right?

    I know it seems kinda crazy when I say that out loud, but the truth is, that’s the way most people do it.

    Most people gain quite a bit of weight during the holidays and then swear a solemn oath that they will get back on track in January.

    I’ve done this many, many, many times so I know exactly what this looks like.

    I also know how terrible it feels when January comes around and you have to lose a bunch of weight just to get back to where you were before Thanksgiving!

    In this episode, I offer a better approach to this time of year and I have 5 tips to avoid gaining weight this holiday season.

    202. Unraveling Unhealthy Thought Patterns

    One of the toughest things about losing weight and keeping it off for good is developing a healthy relationship with food.

    I work with runners every day who admittedly have a very unhealthy relationship with food.

    They overeat, they are constantly making unhealthy choices, and generally feel very out of control around food.

    If this sounds like you, rest assured there is nothing wrong with you, you’ve just developed some unhealthy thought patterns about food.

    So, one of the most beneficial things you can do for yourself is to begin to recognize and then start unraveling those unhealthy thought patterns.

    That’s what this episode is all about so stick around, I think you’ll find some very helpful tips throughout this podcast.

SO good!

You have been listening to Patrick for about two years now and he just keeps getting better. Episode 168 Dealing with Criticism explains exactly why I love Patrick's point of view. He is real, down to Earth, and an open book. If you want honest advice without the fluff that will inspire and guide you on your journey, you came to the right place. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world Patrick!
