    3- To Weigh or Not To Weigh?

    In today’s episode of Weight Loss for Female Executives Who Travel, we’re tackling a question that so many women wrestle with: To weigh or not to weigh?  The scale is often seen as the ultimate measure of progress in a weight loss journey, but is it the right tool to focus on? How frequently should you weigh yourself, if at all? Today, I’ll be sharing my personal perspective on weighing, how I use it with my clients, and when the scale can be helpful—or harmful—depending on your relationship with it.  Key Takeaways: The scale is a tool, but it doesn’t define your worth or dictate your day. Building a neutral relationship with the scale allows you to treat it as one data point among many, rather than giving it the power to influence your mood or actions. I share my personal approach of weighing three times a week, and how I use the scale as a positive reinforcement for my goals—without obsessing over daily fluctuations. We explore when the scale is useful for tracking long-term trends and how it can help you understand your body's patterns, but also discuss when it’s time to take a break from weighing. Learn how to apply a mindset model to shift your thoughts about the scale, moving from emotional reactions to logical, empowered choices.  "The scale doesn’t define you—how you think about the number does. It’s time to take back the power and stop letting a number dictate your self-worth." Action Step: Reflect on your current relationship with the scale. Are your thoughts about the number leading to frustration or self-doubt? Consider taking a break from weighing yourself for a few weeks and focusing on other ways to measure progress. Approach the scale with curiosity, not judgment.  Further resources: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karengombault/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karengombaultcoaching/ Exclusive podcast series & Success Accelerator Guide: https://www.karengombault.com/privatepodcast  Website: https://www.karengombault.com

    2- Progress Starts with Being Honest With Yourself

    In today’s episode of “Weight Loss for Female Executives Who Travel”, we dive into a critical yet simple concept: the truth. Progress in your weight loss journey begins with being honest with yourself—about your habits, your mindset, and the choices you make every single day. I’ll guide you through the importance of self-compassion and responsibility, how to develop self-awareness without judgment, and the power you have to consciously shape your actions for lasting success.  If you're ready to break free from the cycles that are holding you back, this episode is for you.  Key Takeaways: - Why honesty is the foundation of lasting weight loss.  - How to observe your habits without judgment to create real change.  - The power of choice in your journey to permanent transformation.  - Simple, actionable steps to move from autopilot habits to conscious decisions. Quote from the Episode: "Progress starts with being honest with yourself. It’s not about perfection, it’s about making conscious choices that align with your goals." – Karen Gombault Action Step: Choose one habit you've been struggling with and for the next week, consciously decide whether to engage in that habit or not. Each time it comes up, pause and make a deliberate decision.

    1 - Counting Calories Is Not a Long Term Solution

    In this episode of Weight Loss for Female Executives Who Travel, Karen debunks the myth that calorie counting is the solution to lasting weight loss for busy, high-achieving women. Instead, she shares why calorie restriction can lead to burnout, obsession with food, and a slowed metabolism. She advocates for a mindset shift that emphasizes healthy eating and nourishment over numbers. This new approach helps female executives maintain their energy and achieve sustainable weight loss without relying on restrictive diets.  Key Takeaways: Calorie counting leads to burnout: Tracking every calorie can drain mental energy and lead to an unhealthy relationship with food, especially for female executives who travel frequently. Quality over quantity matters: Choosing nutrient-dense, whole foods supports your health and energy better than focusing solely on calorie intake. Emotional eating is ignored in calorie counting: Addressing the mental and emotional triggers behind your eating habits is essential for long-term weight loss. Calorie restriction slows down metabolism: Restricting calories too much causes metabolic adaptation, which makes weight loss harder and weight regain easier. Mindset matters more than numbers: Shift away from controlling food through calorie counting and focus on strategic thinking about nourishment and balance to achieve sustainable, lasting weight loss.  "Calorie counting may seem like a simple solution, but it leads to burnout, ignores the quality of food, and fails to address emotional eating. Lasting weight loss comes from shifting your mindset to focus on nourishment, balance, and strategic thinking about your health."  Further resources: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karengombault/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karengombaultcoaching/ Exclusive podcast series & Success Accelerator Guide: https://www.karengombault.com/privatepodcast  Website: https://www.karengombault.com

She discusses how she struggled with overeating and drinking before discovering life coaching, which helped her transform her mindset about food and alcohol. Molly emphasizes the importance of mindful eating, staying in tune with the body, and maintaining pleasure in eating while achieving weight loss. She also highlights how changing her relationship with alcohol played a significant role in improving her health and well-being. Molly shares insights from her book, “Decoding Your Emotional Appetite”, and offers advice to those feeling stuck in their weight loss journeys, encouraging them to start by listening to their bodies.  Key Takeaways:1. Mindful Eating: Molly learned to listen to her body, paying attention to how different foods and alcohol affected her physically and emotionally, which helped her enjoy food while maintaining her ideal weight. 2. Pleasure and Moderation: It's possible to lose weight without depriving yourself of foods you love. Mindful eating and savoring small amounts of favorite foods can enhance the experience and satisfaction.  3. Emotional and Habitual Triggers: Overeating and over-drinking are often linked to emotional responses.

So if I wanted to have a piece of chocolate cake or some ice cream, I would practice eating it very mindfully, paying attention to when I reached that point where I was no longer experiencing pleasure in my body."  You can find Molly here: https://www.mollyzemek.com  IG: @mollyzemek
