Ep 42 : All the common struggles felt in a Fat Loss Journey

Bit of a different style podcast this week !! I like to mix things up a tad so I do. This is Q&A style podcast episode, answering some common questions about post-holiday weight gain, self-sabotage, losing the last fewpounds, finding time to exercise, weight loss during menopause, impatience, anxiety and emotional eating, and sugar cravings. I also discuss the importance of getting back into a routine after holidays, being realistic with goals and expectations, finding alternative coping mechanisms for anxiety, focusing on overall health and nutrient-dense foods, and being patient with the process of weight loss.   Keywords   Q&A, post-holiday weight gain, self-sabotage, losing weight, exercise, menopause, impatience, anxiety, emotional eating, sugar cravings   Takeaways   -Getting back into a routine after holidays is crucial for weight management. -Self-sabotage often occurs due to over-restriction or celebrating progress with unhealthy food choices. -Losing the last few pounds requires focusing on overall progress rather than a specific number on the scale. -Finding time to exercise requires being realistic and creative with scheduling. -Weight loss during menopause is possible with lifestyle changes, including managing sleep, nutrition, and movement. -Impatience can derail progress, so it's important to embrace the slow and steady process. -Finding alternative coping mechanisms for anxiety and emotional eating is crucial for long-term success. -Managing sugar cravings involves prioritizing nutrient-dense foods, incorporating fruit, and being mindful of food choices. - Being aware of and challenging addictive thoughts around chocolate can help break unhealthy patterns. -Change is always possible, and it's important to have a growth mindset throughout the weight loss journey.   Sound Bites   "A lot of the time these questions that come in on social media or on those Q&A boxes, these are questions that a lot of people struggle with." "It took me being disciplined with everything to get it done and get the structure back to make this week the easier week." "Recognize the gain is there now, there's a half a stone or a stone gone on and you're not happy in your skin and you don't feel great and it's impacting your enjoyment of life, it's impacting your mood then the only way to change that is to act and to make the changes again."   Thanks for listening And if you found it helpful, please hit like, subscribe and leave a review.
