On this episiode I cover some of what I’ve come to believe and understand about weight loss. Over the years how I became more and more obsessed about food, exercise, my body.  I thought if I could just be skinny, everything would be fine.  Unfortunately, all the information we've been told about weight loss over the last 50+ years has been wrong - completely wrong.  Here is the basic concept behind what I teach.  If you are interested in making the committment to change your eating and your life, reach out to me about the next class starting on October 27, 2017.  Drop an email to me at Joann@JoannTheLifeCoach.com  

Does feeling “ridiculous” hold you back from speaking up or even admitting something about yourself to yourself?  You are not alone!  This is one of the emotions coming up for my clients in my stop overeating class.  The very thing that you feel ridiculous about needs to be examined and taken seriously!  Find out more on this episode.  Email:  Joann@JoannTheLifeCoach.com  Website:  http://joannthelifecoach.com    

Where has the Weight Coach been?  I'm here and sharing how thinking the same thoughts you've always thought creates the same results you've always gotten.  Ever wonder why the weight always comes back on?  There ya go - same thoughts, same turning to food, same regain.  On this episode I am sharing some of my story and passion for this work, and why after this hiatus I've decided to do a one-time only offer to teach a 12-week Stop Overeating Class.  Youi can reach out to find out more by dropping an email to joann@joannthelifecoach.com with "Stop Overeating" in the subject line.  Let's DO this!  http://joannthelifecoach.com  

A favorite trainer of mine, female marine and built like, well BUILT, once said to me, "All this took a lot of food, A LOT."  You see, I think most of us who deal with weight issues do not associate what we are eating with the body we are wearing.  Intellectually, sure, we know our food goes into our body.  But we do not have the experience of knowing what we put in our mouth immediately impacts our body.  I break this down and more.  Today I share an idea I'm having for a weight loss class.  Let me know what you think:  email me at Joann@joannthelifecoach.com or go to http://talktojoann.com to set up a call with me.   

My mentor and coach, Brooke Castillo, who certified me as a life coach and weight loss coach has paid me the amazing honor of including a segment by me at the end of one of her podcast episodes.  I was thrilled to share my take on Focus, Willpower and Desire with her audience.  I am including a replay of that segment here in the second half of today’s podcast.  For this special episode recorded during our season break for Weight Coach, I want to include a bit of insight into habit.  Habit is something I started thinking about in relation to my client’s who experience failed attempts to eat well at the same time every day.  Email:  Joann@JoannTheLifeCoach.com  Website:  http://joannthelifecoach.com  

Today’s message is Stop Dieting.  Seriously!  Stop dieting.  If dieting worked, we would not continue to have an obesity problem in this country.  The worst part of dieting is when you take off all those pounds and then they start coming back on, you think that YOU’VE failed. Find out in this episode what works to keep your metabolism rev'd up and your weight down.  I am also announcing a fun, new podcast on "This is US."  If you want to cohost an episode, reach out in email to joann@joannthelifecoach.com  Want to get on the phone and see if you are a good fit for coaching?  Schedule a day and time at http://talktojoann.com  My website is:  http://joannthelifecoach.com

Losing weight is a battle fought in the mind, not the gym or kitchen. Only when you are finally able to “flip the switch” and face your issues, will you be able to start a real weight loss journey.  If you can work through some emotional baggage you’ve been dragging around behind you, the pounds you are carrying as a result of that particular piece of baggage will be able to drop off.  Email:  Joann@JoannTheLifeCoach.com  Schedule a free session at http://talktojoann.com

There are lots of life lessons to be learned from the hit reality show, Survivor - “play hard” “Play Strategically” “Stay flexible” “Face your fears” “Change your destiny” - you get the idea. But  what has perked my interest is the food - or lack of it.  It is fascinating to watch perfectly normal, healthy humans begin to eat limited rations and quickly drop weight. Here's what you can learn about weight loss from Survivor!  email:  Joann@joannthelifecoach.com  Website:  http://joannthelifecoach.com  Schedule with me at http://talktojoann.com  

This episode was inspired by a post from a friend on Facebook.  I am so happy that she wrote this post because it made me realize the importance of specifically teaching the coaching thought model that I work with and teach my clients how to implement in their own lives.  Not a day goes by in my own life that I am not self-coaching with this model, over and over.  So on today's episode, I am diving in and explaining the entire thought model.  Email:  Joann@joannthelifecoach.com  Schedule a free discovery session:  http://talktojoann.com  Website:  http://joannthelifecoach.com

 If you struggle with weight loss and food issues, you are struggling with emotions. When you begin to learn to manage your emotions, this changes how and what you eat.

Does it sound strange that in this podcast series, I talk a lot about your thoughts and thinking?  Emotions and feelings?  This is the basis for chronically being overweight.  IT IS the basis for all that dieting off pounds and gaining it back again.  If you’ve dieted down and then felt the humiliation of having to go back to the next size up and the next size up after that - all the way back to your “fat clothes,” then you know what I’m talking about.  Let's get off that Merry-Go-Round.  I am opening the doors of my new online course.  Registration is at http://joannfilomena.com   You can email me at Joann@joannthelifecoach.com

Join in listening to the weight coach and learn about permanent weight loss.  Are you just tired of hearing "eat less, move more?"  There is a bit of truth there, but it can also suck for weight loss and today's episode will tell you why.  I also get off onto a bit of a rave over Pokemon Go - the perfect incentive to get yourself outside and socializing!  Yes, move more - but not the sweat until you drop insanity!  Email me at Joann@JoannTheLifeCoach.com  Schedule a free phone session at http://talktojoann.com  Website:  http://joannthelifecoach.com

I continue to coach ME constantly - it is what I do.  I’m good at it.  My passion is to teach this, and I try to convey as much about it as I can on my podcast, in my written blogs, and even in live webinars.  The thought model is key to the kind of coaching I do, which is CAUSAL coaching.  It uncovers the reason for your issue instead of trying to fix the issue itself.  If you try to fix the issue itself, it won’t be a permanent fix if you still have the same underlying reason you developed the issue to begin with.  Schedule a free session at http://talktojoann.com or email Joann@joannthelifecoach.com  Website:  http://joannthelifecoach.com

Emotional eating is the main cause of overeating.  Personal boundaries are the physical, emotional and mental limits we establish to protect ourselves from being manipulated, used, or violated by others.  Establishing a few personal boundaries of your own can help diffuse the emotional eating that results from others stepping across the line.  Click this link to go leave a review on iTunes for Weight Coach!  Go schedule a free mini session at http://talktojoann.com   Email: Joann@Joannthelifecoach.com  Website: http://joannthelifecoach.com  

Why do you want to get control of your eating and stop overeating?  Of course there is the whole body image thing, but there is also an element of feeling out of control.  You do not like the feeling that you cannot stop yourself - the DESIRE to go eat something is so strong that you have to respond and feel like you cannot control it.  Where does that come from?  Hey, click this link to go leave a review on iTunes for Weight Coach!  Review Me!  Go schedule a free mini session at http://talktojoann.com   You can email Joann at Joann@Joannthelifecoach.com  Check out our website!

Over 70 years ago 36 men reported in as test subjects for the Minnesota Starvation Experiment.  This study has long been known as the most important study on the effects of food restriction.  What has not been discussed is the implications the study has on common diets popular today.  Some of the experiments results are mind blowing - some of the results sound all too familiar to a repeat dieter.  Email:  Joann@joannthelifecoach.com  Website:  http://joannthelifecoach.com
