Deze briljante zin heb ik even gejat van bedrijfspsycholoog Tony Crabbe die het boek ‘Nooit meer te druk’ schreef. Ik was in elk geval jaren lang een enorme sukkel. Overigens heeft niet het boek van hem me geholpen om dat druk zijn te doorbreken maar vooral het bewust worden van mijn persoonlijke waarden en het boek van Stephen Covey dat mij een enorme zet in de goede richting gaf.

Definition of desire: A strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen. Craving, wanting, wishing, longing. Craving and desire are synonyms so if we related this to food, do we really want to be wishing or longing for a certain type of food or for something more out of our life?

What is possibility? I am talking about health goals for 2022. Possibility is the chance or likelihood that you can achieve your goal. Did you know that you only need to have 10% belief that you can accomplish your goal to start taking action? What if it was that simple? To get started on a new goal, you just need to believe a little bit that the goal is possible to start taking action. That means you will have doubts and that’s OK.

They are all obstacles to achieving a goal. I’ll talk about these one by one. I think this is helpful to do now before 2022 starts because most of us set some kind of goal, usually health and 1 or 2 others. If we are talking about a health goal, say to lose the COVID 15 and you are thinking of starting a new program; time is often a big factor. A new healthy eating plan takes too much time.

If so, you are not alone. The problem with this type of thinking is you bring your mindset and thinking with you from where you are now to where you want to be. It’s how you think about something that causes you to feel a certain way.

I don’t know about you, but I remember being so frustrated and thinking something was wrong with me vs. something wrong with the lastest fad diet I was trying.

The reason I wanted to do a podcast on this topic is from a question I asked in a FB group about what was holding them back in their weight loss journey. The majority said exercise. The problem with this answer is that what we think and what we have heard about exercise and weight loss is not always correct or based on recent evidence. This applies even more so to women over 50 who also have hormonal changes they are dealing with. So if we st...2021-11-0411 minWeight Loss With WendyWeight Loss With WendyWhat Motivates You?Today I want to talk about the $64,000 question: What motivates you? What motivates us to do anything? How we think it will make us feel. Most of us do things because we want to make others happy or ourselves. When you think about weight loss, what motivates you to even get started? It’s the possibility that we can be successful. Not only that, but for me it was the fear of staying the same or getting heavier; that was terrifying. Fear is what got me to try losing weight one more time. Wh...2021-10-2813 minWeight Loss With WendyWeight Loss With WendyUsing Food as a RewardBefore our society found a way to artificially flavor foods, our desire came from the subtle reward healthy food provides and the satisfaction of hunger. Today, our desire not only comes from artificially flavored foods but also from our cultural conditioning around what is “normal” eating. Another component of desire and culture is how much enjoyment we think we should get from food. When we eat foods that are artificially flavored, it causes our reward center to release a big surge of our pleasure hormone dopamine. This stimulates a big dopamine surge followed by the feel...2021-10-2114 minWeight Loss With WendyWeight Loss With WendyWisdom From 1 Year of the Weight Loss With Wendy PodcastIt’s been a year already since I started this podcast!

It started in childhood. If I had a bad day at school, my Mom would make my favorite food to help me feel better. This lasted even through college; remember care packages? It is no wonder we continue to use food to help us feel better into our adult life. I encouraged this with my children when they were growing up as well. In this podcast, I outline the differences between physical and emotional hunger.

This is the time when we are the most motivated and excited about the plan and when we get our initial results of weight loss. I call this the honeymoon phase. It may last longer than 2 weeks depending on what type of eating plan you are following. For me, the honeymoon phase lasted 2 months. Then, after that, reality hits that you need to continue to follow the plan; and that’s when it gets harder in your mind. But it on...2021-09-2317 minWeight Loss With WendyWeight Loss With WendyHow to Make Sure You Get the Results You WantHave you ever noticed that the idea of starting a new diet and losing weight is more appealing than doing the work?

We want to lose the weight fast when it took years to put the weight on.

Why, because we have the tendency to focus on our struggles and not what we’ve accomplished. I had to ask myself after 3 years of being on maintenance if I feel like I am in control around food? To tell you the truth, my gut reaction was no. But when I really think about it and how differently I think and feel about food and how far I have come, I change my answer to ye...2021-09-0911 minWeight Loss With WendyWeight Loss With WendyGiving Your Body What It NeedsAre you listening to what your body is telling you that it needs or are you going through the motions and eating without even thinking about what or how much you are putting in your mouth? Most people are on auto-pilot with what they are eating. They see something, think that looks good and automatically pop whatever it is into their mouth.

I have been noticing this a lot lately with myself and my clients. You may think everything will be better when you reach your goal weight. The problem with this line of thinking is you still take all your negative thoughts and feelings about you, your weight, food, etc. with you.

Self-control allows you to make conscious healthy choices. With the power of consistent conscious thinking (using the prefrontal cortex, the thinking brain), you can override your primitive brain's impulses to seek immediate pleasure and make unhealthy decisions in the moment with food. i In your weight loss journey, you may find your progress hindered by your habits around food. One minute, you may feel ready to deal with any situation, and then suddenly you realize you've been snacking between meals without thinking about it!

In Kelly McGonigal's book "The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, And What You Can Do To Get More Of It," Kelly defines willpower as the ability to control the impulses that make us human. Humans have a "primitive brain" with three directives: seek pleasure, avoid pain, and maximize efficiency in doing the previous two things. We also have an "evolved brain." Our complex minds grant us the ability to reason and exercise self control, which sets us apart from other species.

You lose weight by making and keeping commitments to yourself to permanently change your habits. This happens 1 decision at a time. The very act of making these decisions is contrary to the brain's three prime instincts: seek pleasure, avoid pain, and maximize efficiency in doing the previous two things.
