Lifted You Weight Loss

17. Becoming A Natural Eater In Your Body

In this episode, we continue building Body Connection by exploring what it means to become a natural eater in your body. Many of us never actually learned how to listen to our bodies around food. We learned to eat for comfort. For celebration. For distraction. For coping. We learned to override fullness, ignore hunger, and disconnect from the signals our bodies were trying to give us all along. And over time, that disconnect became normal. In this episode, I share personal stories about my own relationship with food, the weight identity I developed growing up, and how clarity helped me finally understand what was really happening beneath my eating habits. Then we dive deeply into the hunger scale: a tool for awareness, body connection, and intentional choice. We’ll talk about: physical hunger vs. emotional urges fullness and satisfaction overeating and body disconnection   reconnecting with your body’s natural systems; and how to begin hearing your body clearly again.  Becoming a natural eater in your body is about learning to recognize your body’s signals…and respond to them on purpose. Next week, we’ll move into the heart as we explore what it means to become a natural eater in your heart—where identity, emotion, and self-support come together.

16. Becoming a Natural Eater In Your Mind

In this episode, we begin exploring what it means to become a natural eater in your mind. Because lasting weight loss begins with the way you see yourself. I share a simple moment from early motherhood that instantly changed my perspective forever—and how the same kind of paradigm shift must happen in weight loss if we want real, lasting change. We talk about:  shifting your weight identity transcending old thought patterns the “avocado pit” metaphor for limiting beliefs   why food situations are choices, not problems, and how clarity changes the way your DOER moves.  If you’ve spent years believing: “I just struggle with weight”  or “This is just who I am around food,” this episode will help you begin stepping out of that old identity and into a new one. Because becoming a natural eater in your mind is really about becoming clear. Clear about who you are. Clear about who you want to become. And clear enough to move forward differently. Next week, we’ll move from your mind into your body as we explore hunger, fullness, and what it means to become a natural eater in your body.

15. What Is A Natural Eater - And How To Become One

Last week, we stepped into Body Connection. Today, we take it a step further. In this episode, I’m introducing what it really means to become a natural eater—not as a set of rules or behaviors, but as an IDENTITY. Becoming a natural eater isn’t about what you eat. It’s about WHO YOU ARE when you eat. We’ll define exactly what a natural eater is, why this identity matters so much for lasting weight loss, and how you begin building it in a way that actually works. I’ll walk you through what it looks like to become a natural eater in your mind, your body, and your heart—and how aligning those three parts of you changes everything. Because when your thinking is clear, your body is heard, and your identity is aligned…your choices become simpler, your actions become more consistent…and your weight starts to take care of itself. If you’ve ever felt stuck, out of control around food, or like you “know what to do” but aren’t doing it… this episode will help you understand why—and show you a new way forward.

14. Your Body Is Talking - It's Time To Listen!

Body Connection: Welcome to Layer 4 of your foundation: Body Connection! The goal of Layer 4 is to hear your body's signals and respond on purpose.  For a long time, I didn’t realize how disconnected I was from my own body and how much that was affecting my life.  In this episode I share a moment that made it very clear that my body had been trying to tell me something for a long time... and I hadn't been listening.  I'm far from perfect, but I do so much better now. I see my body more as a partner I want to listen to- a relationship I want to nourish.  We're starting to build the process of becoming a natural eater who is naturally thin.  And that starts by acknowledging, respecting and listening to our body's natural systems.  In this episode, we’ll look at what body connection means, what a disconnection looks like in real life, and what it looks like to begin building a relationship with your body. In layer 4 you'll learn to hear your body clearly and start to recognize the signals you’ve been missing. You'll begin to respond on purpose instead of reacting out of habit.   Even if you've ignored certain body signals your whole life, you can start listening today!

13. One Last Look At Your Toolkit

Our last episode of Practical Wisdom! Over the past few weeks, we’ve built something powerful together: a set of skills—tools you can reach for in any moment to help you think clearly, see clearly, choose intentionally, and keep moving forward. Because weight loss is about using what you already know—on purpose. In this episode, I walk you back through the four essential skill sets that create real, lasting change:  Thinking Clearly  Seeing Clearly  Responding Intentionally  Moving Forward  Inside each one, you’ll revisit the tools (and meet a few new ones) that help you interrupt patterns, understand your body, navigate urges, and take consistent action—even when it’s uncomfortable. So in any moment, you can ask: What do I need right now… And which tool will help me move forward? This is your ever growing toolkit. And it’s always available to you.
