Thinner Peace In Menopause: Weight Loss After 50 & Mindfulness

I love talking with my clients after they’ve stopped working with me. I created the Life After Dr. Deb Series for this reason alone. I’m very curious and I bet you’re very curious too. Julie lost 100 pounds before she started working with me over two years ago. She hired me because she wanted thinner peace not thinner fear. No matter where you are on this journey of self-discovery (weight loss,) I know Julie will inspire you. Let Julie inspire you towards thinner peace! Enjoy the show!

I recently received a letter from Dana a loyal podcast listener. She had lost 40 pounds using my tools, but now she felt stuck. I thought her problem might resonate with you so I asked her if she would like a free coaching session to get unstuck. Live on my podcast. Dana was courageous enough to say yes. Listen in as she “unsticks” (is that even a word?) herself. Enjoy the show!

In my last coaching session with my client Tracie, said, “I don’t feel amazing.” She had felt amazing on every call for all of our sessions. Till now. She was sure something had gone wrong. She thought now that she learned my tools, nothing would shake her again. She was mistaken. Life is just like that. Her body wasn’t behaving the way she wanted it too. I think she might have been suffering more from her own thoughts than her own physical discomfort. When our session ended, she understood a new concept that was most important. Even when something happens that you don’t like, it’s still ok. You just have to learn how to stay friends with yourself and hold space for your difficult emotions. In the end, Tracie said best lesson ever. You don’t want to miss why. Enjoy the show! Join my free class on September 28! Sign up here!

I just finished an online retreat with Pema Chodron. As you know, I love her teachings. My biggest takeaway? If you want to be able to allow difficult feelings in yourself then it is very helpful to first learn how to be friends first with yourself. I’m not sure why that is so ah-ah-like after all these years, BUT, it is. If you want to lose weight for good. If you want to have powerful relationships with others. If you want to help others. It all starts with your relationship with you. May this podcast be of benefit to you! Enjoy the show! Want to get on the waiting list for my next Signature Group Program? Sign up here!

Today’s episode is all about wasting food and what you think about that. Because how you think about about wasting food will determine how you treat your body. If you think you must always eat the food on your plate, your weight will probably always be a problem. I share with you an incident with my husband, Michael, and eating watermelon, what I noticed and my aha moment. We have really been enjoying watermelon this summer, and we’re coming towards the end of the season. So Michael cuts the watermelon up and says, “You better eat it all now, because it won’t last much longer, and there won’t be any more.” Well, I was ready to eat some more just because he said that and my mind went, “Go get it girl, this is your last chance.” But being the body whisperer I am, I checked in with my bod, and it whispered, “All done, +2.” I looked at Michael and started laughing, “You just gave me my next podcast.” I have noticed he says this a lot. He’s become the chef and he’s a good one, but whatever he creates he always sa

I am always amazed when I read anything by Pema Chodron and Buddhist philosophy. It helps me understand more why we eat when we’re not hungry. Losing weight is more about your mind than food.
