About the episode: At a young age, Laura began trying any quick fix she saw or heard about in order to try and lose weight. She found her weight would yo yo and felt unable to find a long-term solution. Over the next few years, Laura went on to have 3 children and found herself looking for a sustainable lifestyle to feel healthier and regain control. We discuss some of the weird and ineffective weight loss methods being used and marketed that misguide people who are looking for the quickest way to lose weight. Laura explains how turning 30 was a turning point for her, describing the constant losing and gaining weight “exhausting”. You can listen to the advice Laura gives including why focusing on short term decisions provide a greater opportunity rather than feeling intimidated by the long-term objective. Laura started by looking at self-sabotage and how to make small changes in order to improve. She explains how limiting herself to biscuits with a cup of tea was something she introduced that was helpful. One of the key conversations in this episode is related to mindset and how by simply changing our perception of certain situations, we can not only feel better about ourself, but get better results too! Laura found that despite not being a fan of exercise, by making small changes to the foods she eats and being aware of things like drinking more water was able to see great results. We also talk about how relying less on the scales but more on other indicators like how well your clothes fit can be a better measure of overall success.
