by Geralt License: CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) - Public Domain I recently posted how happy I was to RSVP for my 20 year reunion. And if I had not lost the weight, I would have more than likely tried to lose it before the reunion, or just said no due to being ashamed of my body. I got a concerned email from a listener who said statements like that may not be sending the right message to women who are struggling with their weight or body acceptance. They may see my statement as a message that says, "If I am overweight maybe I should be ashamed of my body and not go to my reunion." I realized after reading this email that I hadn't properly express my true, pure joy about this situation. So I felt the need to share my thoughts about this more in depth. Right now I am technically considered over weight. I am between 5’4” - 5’5” and weigh on average 157 pounds, so based on the BMI scale I am 7-12 pounds outside of the normal range. Outside the normal range. Even if I wear a size 6 pants and small clothes. Ev

Click play to listen!   Transcript: In the Wizard of Oz , Dorothy and her companions travel a long way. She meets friends along the trip. They have fun, sing songs together, and enjoy each others company. The goal for them is to get to the Wizard of Oz . They’re focused on that the entire trip. They face set backs and obstacles in their journey, which bonds them closer together. When they get to the Wizard and finally look behind the curtain they’re disappointed. Why? They got to their goal. Shouldn’t they be happy? This story mirrors the experience of weight loss perfectly. You will face many set backs and obstacles, find new friends along the way, and one day you will get to goal and you may feel a sense of completion, happiness an

by Heather Robertson In this audio blog, I share with you the results of my experiment to increase my calories and reset my metabolism. In case you don't know about my experiment, after doing a metabolic reset from April until the end of July, I decided to take a deficit on my calories to lose fat. For the month of August, I reduced my caloric intake by 15-20% of my total energy expenditure, which was based on data collected from my Body Media Armband*. Once you hear what happened, I think you'll be really blown away... I know I was! I hope my experiment can help you realize starving yourself to lose weight is not the answer.

by Heather Robertson In this audio blog, I share with you how I found love for my body... by adding weight. Notice I did not say "gaining" weight, but rather adding weight. This is because I have truly begun to love my body since lifting heavier weights (aka adding weight to the bar). For many of us, we think when we hit goal we will be magically at peace with our body. Unfortunately, that is too often not the case. Click play to hear more of how shifting my own goals after weight loss has helped me find love for my body, and more importantly, myself.

by Heather Robertson In the last two audio blogs, we talked about motivation and why using the scale as your only motivator can hurt your weight loss efforts. In this Audio Blog, I share with you how I over came the fears that were holding me back from reaching my goals. And I give you tips on ways you can start to over come your own fears too. Please share some of the different ways you've overcome your fears in the comments section below!

by Heather Robertson Is the scale the only thing that keeps you motivated to lose weight? In this AudioBlog, I continue to talk to you about intrinsic motivation and why it's important in helping you reach your goals. Whether you're trying to reach your goal weight, maintain your weight loss, or simply live a healthier lifestyle, staying motivated is key to your success.  This post is a continuation of last week's audio blog post (click here to listen). Please share your thoughts on what motivates you in the comments section below!

by Heather Robertson In this audio blog post, I talk to you about why the scale alone won't keep you motivated. It's so important that you get (and stay) motivated to achieve your weight loss goals, so you need to consider both extrinsic (like the scale going down) and intrinsic (like how you feel inside) motivators. Next week, I'll share another AudioBlog with you dealing even more with intrinsic motivation. So, is the scale all that motivates you? Please share your comments below!
