Weight Loss After 40

Hey Gen X Ladies, are you looking in the mirror and staring at a reflection that you don’t quite recognize.

Maybe you gained some weight around your middle or see that you now have a second chin. Whoever is looking back at you, it can be disappointing and defeating, especially if you’ve tried to shed those extra pounds.

In this episode, we share our own personal stories around weight loss after 40 and share some tried and true techniques to help you lose weight beyond eating carrot sticks and hitting the gym. 

Here are some hints:
Cardio alone isn’t enough. 
You may be working out TOO much.
MINDFUL EATING 

Mindful eating is truly the best way to lose weight. It starts with understanding why you eat. 

Think about your snacking. When you go to snack, why are you snacking? Are you feeling bored, hungry, craving, habit, seeing others snack, having food around me, stress. Have you even thought about it?

If so, do you use it as an excuse and declare it as fact?  For example, I eat when I’m stressed?  Putting those  ‘facts’ into your head will hurt your ability to change your behaviors

• Now when you actually go to snack, tap into why you’re eating. Were you correct in your thinking? 
• What emotion are you feeling when you go to eat? 
• I’m being extreme here but if anyone has watched an episode of my 600lb life, you will know exactly what I’m referring to. More than 75% of those featured on the show find their joy in their food. It’s the highlight of their day and the only thing they have to look forward to. Filling the void with food becomes a dangerously slippery slope.
• Take notice of when you eat:
  • Morning
  • Afternoon
  • Evening 
  • Late Night
  •
