    Episode 266: Eat Your Feelings: An Interview with Author Cristina P. Simmons

    The Amazon description of Eat Your Feelings by Cristina Simmons says the book “is a story of heartbreak and restoration.” Let me tell you… that is an amazingly true description! I could not stop reading this book and had to read it straight through! I’m not going to be a spoiler, so you’ll have to read the book yourself, but I can share my interview with the truly amazing author, Cristina Simmons! Cristina’s story is about so much more than how she was eating her feelings, but the message that food will not fix your problems is abundantly clear throughout. What is also clear is how Cristina’s faith and family love, along with some healthy doses of therapy, helped Cristina and her family through some gut-wrenching life circumstances. So many lessons in the interview and in the book! Enjoy both! The Weight Loss Winformation Podcast gives you essential psychological information to help you lose weight and more importantly, to help keep you at a healthy weight for your body!

    Episode 265: Why’s Everybody Always Picking On Me?

    It’s pretty easy for us to recognize when someone else is behaving in a defensive manner. Seeing defensiveness in ourselves can be as difficult as figuring out where in the world Waldo is at any given time. Defensiveness helps protect us from uncomfortable truths about ourselves, but it also causes rifts in relationships. Defensive behavior most often sounds like the title of this episode: Why is everybody always picking on me? Listen in as we explore this behavior that does not serve us well as adults.

    Episode 264: Healthy Ways to Handle Trauma Responses

    In episode 251 of the Weight Loss Winformation Podcast I introduced the topic of Big T and Little T trauma to you and shared how the effects of trauma are long-lasting and can interfere with people’s ability to follow through with goals for weight loss (and many other things). I was asked to do a follow-up episode giving suggestions for how to deal with trauma responses when they occur in daily life… in part so that you don’t resort to the familiar but unhealthy coping skill of using food to feel better! This episode is the follow-up in which I share tools for using when your trauma responses like anxiety, anger, and defensiveness threaten to get the best of you! The Weight Loss Winformation Podcast gives you essential psychological information to help you lose weight and more importantly, to help keep you at a healthy weight for your body!
