    Why (and How!) I Stopped Dieting

    Of course you want to be done dieting because who wants all that restriction and anxiety? But you’re also pretty sure you have to diet to lose weight after menopause. Thankfully, you don’t have to feel like you’re on a diet at all. So today, I’m sharing exactly WHY and HOW I stopped dieting, while I was losing weight for the last time in my 50s.


    Feeling like you’re on a diet is optional, and the truth of it is that you’re far more likely to be successful at losing weight and maintaining it for life when what you feel is amazing.


    So, today I’m sharing four ways I used to feel like I was on a diet and exactly what I did to stop dieting and start loving, trusting, understanding, and believing in myself instead.


    Are you ready to set yourself free from the worry, frustration, judgment and restriction of dieting? I’ve got you covered. Tune in and let’s go.

    Top 5 Weight Loss Mindset Blocks

    It’s not really a question of “if” you have weight loss mindset blocks (you do), it’s more about figuring out exactly which ones you have, so you can solve for them and get to your goal weight. On this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m diving into the top five weight loss mindset blocks to show you exactly how they’re stopping you and what you can do about it.

    So, let’s find those mindset blocks and bust through them!


    Listen now to learn:

    • What a mindset block even is
    • How to know you have a mindset block, and
    • The most efficient and effective tool for busting your blocks


    In this episode I’m sharing the Top 5 Weight Loss Mindset Blocks I’ve helped women around the world bust through while they were losing weight with The 5-0 Method. Do YOU have the same blocks?

    The 12 Biggest Weight Loss MYTHS, Debunked

    There’s a lot of information out there about weight loss for menopausal women, and some of it is straight-up wrong. To help you separate fact from fiction, on this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, we’re debunking twelve of the biggest weight loss myths, plus of course I’ll share the real facts so you can lose all the weight you want and keep it off forever.

    Your body and your brain are always always always working together, so any weight loss advice that doesn’t address your mindset isn’t giving you the complete answer.


    Second, and this is almost the same point, but in a broader context, weight loss is never about one thing.


    Which means that any advice that purports that weight loss is driven by one singular factor – like eating during a specific window of time, or eliminating a specific type of food, or exercising in a specific way – is incomplete.


    The simple science behind weight loss is that it’s driven by three things, in this exact order: 1, believing that you can, 2, eating in a slight caloric deficit over time, and 3, lovingly supporting your menopausal metabolism.


    So now that you know the facts, let’s get to the Twelve Biggest Weight Loss MYTHS, so we can debunk those suckers!

    What To Do When You're Not Losing Weight

    When you’re not losing weight it’s almost never because of your calories. And yet, that’s the conclusion we all jump to immediately, even though changing up your calories is more likely to slow you down than speed you up. On this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing three important things to do (that aren’t changing your calories) when you’re not losing weight.

    Weight loss is a long game, and it’s driven by three things, in this exact order: number one, believing that you can, number two, eating in a slight caloric deficit over time, and number three, lovingly supporting your menopausal metabolism while you do numbers one and two.

    Fiddling around with your calories (number two) before you address the belief piece (number one) is kind of like trying to read a book in a foreign language when you don’t even know the alphabet yet. Sure, you can make guesses, but it’s unlikely that you’ll make sense of the story.

    Imagine jumping into the deep end of a pool when you don’t believe that you can swim. You’ll just thrash around and, at best, tread water, instead of gliding smoothly to the other side.

    You absolutely, positively, must take a look at your mindset – your beliefs – before making adjustments to your calories, so that you don’t find yourself splashing around and not making progress toward your weight loss goal.

    This is why the three things to do when you’re not losing weight that I’m sharing with you today are all mindset-focused – so you can swim like a champion and read novels with ease.

    No, I’m joking.

    I’m showing you how to change your mindset so you can lose all the weight you want after menopause and keep it off forever.

    4 Reasons You’re Not Losing Weight… Yet

    You’ve been working on losing weight for a while, but you’re still not seeing the results you want on the scale. It feels super frustrating to put in all this effort and not be making any progress. So, why aren’t you losing weight? And what can you do about it? On this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing four reasons why you’re not losing weight … yet.

    Before we get into it, make sure you really take the time to hear the last word in the title of this episode: yet

    While it may or may not be true that you’re not losing weight right now (and we’ll talk about how that might not even be true in reason number four!), your current weight loss progress is not an indicator of your future success.

    Because the simple formula for permanent weight loss is this: Step One, believe that you can lose weight. Step Two, eat in a slight caloric deficit over time, and Step Three, lovingly support your menopausal metabolism while you’re doing Step One and Step Two.


    Right now, there’s a really good chance that disbelief is lurking in every corner of your brain. It’s not just the thought, “I don’t believe I can lose weight” that’s stopping you, though that’s definitely one of the most common mindset blocks I hear. 

    But there are other ways that disbelief shows up in your life and, notably, on the scale, that we’re talking about today. These four reasons you’re not losing weight YET, are your ticket to uncovering your disbelief mindset blocks, so you can bust through them.

    How To Lose Weight Without Feeling Like You're On a Diet

    You can’t really lose weight without dieting…can you? What if this so-called conventional wisdom isn’t very wise after all? What if you could lose all the weight you want and keep it off forever, without feeling like you’re on a diet at all? My friend, you can, and this episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast will tell you how.


    The fact is, you can DO all the things to lose weight – which is to say, creating belief in yourself and eating in a slight caloric deficit over time, while supporting your menopausal metabolism with adequate hydration, sleep, and exercise – without FEELING like you’re on a diet.


    Because your feelings don’t come from what you’re doing – they come from your thoughts. 🤯


    You’re not doomed to constantly feeling restriction, obligation, pressure, uncertainty, frustration, anger, or overwhelm on your weight loss journey. In fact, this week I’m offering up three alternative (and much more pleasant) feelings that you can easily have while you’re losing weight, instead of feeling like you’re on a diet.


    Thanks for joining me!

    The 3 Biggest Mindset Shifts I Made To Lose Weight In My 50s

    A couple of years ago, I lost weight for the last time. And while I was losing weight, I experienced three really big mindset shifts that forever changed the way I think about my body, my weight, and myself. So today, I’m sharing with you the three biggest mindset shifts I made to lose weight in my 50s.

    Mindset is basically just another word for belief or beliefs. Which is basically just another way of saying a thought or collection of thoughts that you’ve been practicing subconsciously and maybe haven’t challenged. 

    We all have beliefs we’ve never looked at! And that’s why mindset work is such a crucial part of weight loss. Right now, you have beliefs about losing weight that are holding you back, and any time you want to, you can simply challenge them and SHIFT to a different belief.

    Here are the three biggest mindset shifts I made to lose weight in my 50s:

    1. From “I can’t” to “I can, but I might choose not to”
    2. From “Menopause sucks!” to “This is what my body is supposed to do”
    3. From “Losing weight is harder over 50” to “Losing weight is different over 50”

    Losing weight in your 50s and beyond and keeping it off for the rest of your life will require you to shift your mindset. Right now you have thoughts and beliefs that aren’t helping you lose the weight you want. But you can shift out of your unhelpful mindset and into the thoughts, beliefs and feelings that will take you directly to your goal weight.

    5 Things You're NOT Doing That Are Slowing Down Your Weight Loss Results

    Wanna speed up your weight loss results? Of course you do. Then my friend, one of the first things you need to look at is what you’re currently doing (or in this case, NOT doing) that’s slowing you down. On this week’s episode of the Get Your GOAL podcast, I’m sharing five things you’re NOT doing that are slowing down your weight loss results.

    I get asked a lot about what to DO for weight loss – which makes sense, because I’m a weight loss coach! And of course I have a super simple framework called The 5-0 Method that tells you exactly what to do each day to lose all the weight you want and keep it off forever.

    But the thing we’re talking about today is something I almost never get asked about, and that’s what you’re NOT doing, and how it’s not only dramatically affecting your weight loss, but could be the reason why you would struggle to keep the weight off in the future.

    Here are five things you’re NOT doing that are slowing down your weight loss results:


    1. You’re not JOURNALING
    2. You’re not WEIGHING YOURSELF
    3. You’re not TRACKING YOUR CALORIES
    4. You’re not HOLDING YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE
    5. You’re not DOING A MONTHLY CHECK IN

    Being willing to look at yourself honestly – your thoughts, your weight, your calories, your accountability and your progress – is THE THING that will speed up your weight loss results.

    Why Weight Loss is Important

    You’ve been wanting to lose weight for a while now, but there’s a part of you that feels really foolish about going on another diet in your 50s. I mean, how vain is that? It’s not like you’re going to go running around in a bikini at this age. 

    But on the other hand, you’ve always wanted to be a woman of a “certain age” who looks and feels her best. One of those women whose whole essence oozes calm confidence and self-assurance. Maybe you could rock a bikini.


    Ugh! But maybe you should just get over it and accept that this is your menopausal body – with 30 extra pounds. My friend, if this is the argument that you keep having in your head about whether or not weight loss is important, this podcast episode is for YOU.


    Join me as we identify the lessons you’ll learn and the benefits you’ll gain on a weight loss journey to self love, self trust, and showing up as your best self in the world.

    Losing Weight for the Last Time

    You’ve gained and lost weight before, maybe even dozens of times, and you’re sick of it. You’re ready to be done with this dieting nonsense forever. But how does that even work? How do you lose weight for the last time? Like THIS.

    On this week’s episode, I’m going to lay out how to lose weight for the last time in a step-by-step list, but let me also point out the overarching theme – the one key takeaway that, if it’s the only thing you remember from this podcast, it’ll still send you in the right direction.


    And it’s this: losing weight for the last time REQUIRES YOU to create a loving and trusting brain-body connection. If you don’t do this, you will continue to create the results you’ve created in the past, or the results you currently have. Meaning, you’ll gain and lose weight again and again, or you’ll stay stuck where you are now.


    On the other hand, when your brain and your body are working together as a team, you will be unstoppable, and getting to your goal weight will be inevitable.


    Tune in now, and when you’re ready to lose weight for the last time, join us in the Get Your GOAL group!
