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.

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."
