SAY GRACE | Forever Weight Loss for Overwhelmed Women, Consistency, Realistic, Mindset Motivation, No Restrictions

The anonymous post about hopelessness in weight loss

A few months ago, we got a gut-wrenching anonymous post in our PFN Weight Loss community.
 
The overwhelm that she felt as a mother and wife, plus the pressure she was holding to lose weight became unbearable, so she reached out for support.
The response was so powerful that it brought tears to my eyes.
Today I am sharing the post and my six point response in detail. Because I know that if one of my own clients felt this way about weight loss, there are so many other women out there who do, too.
 
If the thought of weight loss brings shame, overwhelm, or exhaustion to mind, you do not want to miss this episode.

What overwhelm is doing to women in weight loss

Overwhelm is consuming women everywhere and whether they realize it or not, it is directly impacting their weight loss success. 
On today's episode I am sharing how overwhelm is sabotaging your weight loss efforts and offering several ways to take your life (and weight loss) back!

The magic number in weight loss

You know we don't promote magic fixes when it comes to losing weight, but there is something that is often overlooked that can be a major game-changer in your weight loss consistency.
 
This magic number not only empowers you in your day-to-day of losing, but it also helps your physical and mental weight loss progress, too!
 
Plus it equips you to lose the weight in a way that will help you never regain it!
 
Today I am sharing all about what that magic number is and how to get it!
 

What my Mammaw taught me about food.. and a lot of other things

Grandmothers are special, and mine sure was.
 
A few weeks ago we lost my grandmother at age 90, and I have found myself reflecting on so much since then.
 
My grandmother was a pillar in our family, and she is where I get so much of my love and passion for food.
 
Now more than ever, I am aware of where my stance on food freedom and weight loss comes from and share the depths and reasoning behind that on today’s episode.
 
As much as I hope you love this episode and maybe see some of your own memories in mine, this episode is really meant to be a heart pour to honor my grandmother and how she impacted me. 🕊️

From hustling to healing- how a work trip changed my life

Isn’t it crazy how when you least expect it, you can be exposed to something that radically changes your life?
 
At the end of December, I was in a season of burnout, holiday overwhelm, and health scares... and then in January, I went to Austin, Texas, for work, and it changed everything.
 
Today I am talking about how what I thought was going to be a normal "business trip" actually changed my mental health, physical health and way I manage my entire life.
 
This one act of obedience in my life has powerfully changed me for the better this year, and I believe what I experienced is the thing everyone needs for a better life.

The battle between weight loss and enjoying your food

Do you feel like you are in a constant mental war between whether to eat the "weight loss foods" or to choose food that is labeled as "bad" but tastes oh sooo good?
I get it. 
This mental tug of war is what causes women to constantly yo-yo diet and eventually give up. 
I can't blame them-- food tastes good y'all!!
But here is a secret... it doesn't have to be either/or. It can be both.
 
On today's episode I am diving into:
the lies we have been told about weight loss and delicious food
the science that proves this ^^
the real truth about willpower
how our brain can work against us
and some ways to conquer this struggle!
In this episode I share the facts that support that there is NOTHING wrong with you for wanting to enjoy all the good foods + offer tips for how to retrain your perception around eating them!
