I have a question for you today that will take us back to the basics of the Trim Healthy Mama (THM) plan. 

 

What if you focused on just staying on plan? 

 

No worries about the scale or how fast or slow your weight loss is. 

No overthinking what's working, what's hard, or what you don't like about it.

 

Life happens. We all get overwhelmed by the constant juggling of responsibilities.

 

But what if, amidst all the chaos, your only focus was this simple, yet life-changing goal: Stay on plan.

Does Trim Healthy Mama Work in Menopause? A Mindset Tool for Midlife Women

 

Today, I’m diving into one of my favorite coaching tools, which is an absolute game-changer for women in menopause. This tool, when applied consistently, can help you show up differently in your Trim Healthy Mama journey and finally see those lasting results you’ve been after.

 

So, if you want something different, you’ve got to do something different. 

 

I know, easier said than done, right? 

 

That’s where this tool comes in. I first learned it from Brooke Castillo at The Life Coach School. It’s called “The Model,” and it has roots in teachings from various mentors, all beautifully refined into this one mindset tool.

 

This tool came into my life when I was knee-deep in perimenopause, dealing with a lot of heavy stuff—health crises, family challenges, the whole nine yards. This mindset model...

Why Worry Doesn’t Help in Midlife: A Mindset Approach for Women Over 40

 

You know, I often find myself doing more life coaching than weight loss coaching.

Why?

Because weight loss is a mindset issue, knowing what and how to eat is crucial, but managing our minds to perform consistently is the key to long-term success.

 

Today, I’m not even talking about food; I want to share a personal experience that also translated into a coaching call. It’s about worry—something we all struggle with, especially in midlife. 

 

Understanding Worry in Midlife

During midlife, our brains and emotions undergo significant changes. What we once handled with ease may now be more challenging due to hormonal shifts.

 

As we approach menopause, our propensity to worry can increase, leading to what I call "mental loops."

These loops are repetitive thoughts that keep us stuck in worry, affecting our mental...

Embracing Negative Emotions for Midlife Wellness: A Game-Changer for Weight Loss After 40

Hello, my friends. Today, we're diving into a topic that might not sound fun but is truly life-changing: how to feel negative emotions. Yes, you heard that right! It may not be fun, but understanding and embracing our negative emotions can be a game-changer, especially when it comes to weight loss after 40.

 

Understanding Negative Emotions

Negative emotions are feelings that we often try to avoid or push away. They can feel overwhelming, but they don’t have to control us. In midlife, managing these emotions becomes crucial, particularly for weight loss. Why? Because weight loss is a mindset game. Our sabotaging thoughts often keep us on that dieting roller coaster. When we can become aware of our thoughts and understand that they are driving our emotions, we gain the power to change.

Stop Emotional Eating: Powerful Tips for Women in Midlife

How to Stop Eating Your Emotions

Understanding Emotional Eating

Emotional eating is when we use food to make ourselves feel better rather than to satisfy hunger. It’s something I've experienced personally and helped my clients overcome. Conquering emotional eating takes time and daily practice. It’s not about using a simple tool for a little bit and then you're cured; it’s about consistently reminding yourself of the truth.

 

My journey with emotional eating began when I noticed that sometimes I’d eat out of boredom or when it wasn’t meal time. I wasn’t even hungry! I'd catch myself mid-bite, thinking, "Wait, why am I eating these tortilla chips?" That’s when I began to become aware of my habits.

Hello friends and welcome to our journey towards a healthier, more balanced life! Today, I'm excited to share with you how I set myself up for success each day, week, and even month. As a busy midlife mama, juggling multiple roles as a business owner, mom, wife, sister, daughter, and friend, I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to manage everything while trying to maintain healthy habits and lose weight.

 

When I first started this journey, my brain resisted the idea of planning and pre-deciding my days. It seemed like a lot of work, and I didn't want to think through everything I needed to do. But I've learned that taking time on the front end is the key to success. When I follow my planning routine, I feel more in control and less frantic. When I don't, chaos ensues.

 

With nine kids, four still at home, and two homeschooling, plus recently graduating my 17-year-old...

Let's go ahead and address the elephant in the room and give you the master key on how to lose weight and keep it off: commitment.

 

How to Lose Weight and Keep it Off

It's a commitment to yourself, not to the scale, because the number one thing that keeps women from attaining their goals is that they quit.

 

I'm going to be talking about something that I see happening with the majority of the clients that I work with. And I've had some run-ins with this particular topic myself, and it really is about commitment. Now, there are a lot of other factors that play into weight loss, so we can't just rely on commitment alone without understanding those factors.

 

Even if you are committed, and maybe, just maybe, it's still not working, when you were committed, you stayed until the end and figured it out. When you're not truly committed, you quit, and then you end up...

Let’s talk about motivation…

 

Tip #1 - you do not have to FEEL motivated to take ACTION.

 

I like to look at motivation as something I can create with my thoughts. 

 

It would be great if we all felt motivated to do the things we know are good for us and will bring better health. Sadly, this is not how life works. But, by shifting away from how you feel and into creating motivation with your thoughts, you will be much more effective at reaching your health and weight loss goals.



Rethinking Motivation: Action Before Inspiration

How do you take action even when you don’t FEEL motivated?

 

When I am looking at whatever action I want to take, whether it's to work out with my weights, go for a walk, work on a project that I'm not super excited about, or make dinner, if I’m waiting for the feeling of motivation before I begin, it keeps me in a space of...

Unlocking Success Through Decisiveness

In a world filled with health and wellness aspirations, many women over 40 find themselves yearning for powerful results.
