Enjoy the Fourth of July Without Overeating
Holidays like the 4th of July can fill you with dread, thinking about all the food at the neighborhood barbeque that you're going to need to resist. Giving in to temptation can send you spiraling for weeks or months.
Spending a holiday alone can be challenging in its own way.
Today's episode will tell you how to approach any holiday with ease, with a combination of strategy and mindset changes.

Rewards, Treats, and Bribes
Do you use food to bribe yourself to do the stuff you dread doing?
Do you reward yourself at the end of a hard day of work with a glass of wine or a cocktail? Or a burger and fries so you don't have to cook?
Learn how using food as a reward or bribe messes up your relationship with food and holds you back from losing the weight you want to lose.

How to Decide What to Eat
It can be overwhelming to decide what to eat. We're drowning in conflicting and confusing information. When you can't decide, you revert to old habits and stay stuck and overweight.
Today's episode will help you decide with more clarity, in a way that moves you closer to your weight loss goal.
Let me know what you think! Email me at kathy@kathybedward.com.
The Pit of Despair
What is the Pit of Despair and do you spend time there?
If you do (regardless of what you call it), today's episode will resonate for you. Get some ideas about how to visit there less often and move out more quickly.
If you don't (and also if you do), use the parallels I draw to help you learn how to change your relationship with overeating.
That alone will change everything about your experience with losing weight.

Forgive Yourself for Getting Fat
Are you angry at yourself for gaining weight? Do you say things to yourself like "I can't believe I've let myself go?" Are you horrified when you see photos of yourself?
Today, we talk about how those thoughts and feelings get in your way when you're trying to lose weight and what you can do about it.
Drop Perfectionism, Drop Pounds
If you're a high achiever (and I am betting that you are!), you likely have perfectionistic leanings. In today's episode, we dive into what perfectionism is and how it will hold you back in your weight loss efforts.
Then I speak directly on how to overcome perfectionistic thinking without giving up the high standards that you want to keep.
Exceptions to Eat Only When You're Hungry
I get it - schedules sometimes don't line up with your hunger. If you're in court all day or have 5-hour meetings, what do you do? How do you eat when you're hungry?
Today's episode will give you practical tips on handling these situations, as well as key ways to determine if your thoughts (and not your schedule) are truly the issue.
5 Reasons to Change Your Thinking Around the Scale
If you are going to lose weight in a healthy way, that includes your mental health. An integral part of that mental health is your thinking around the scale.
What are you currently thinking and feeling about the scale? Do you need to change it? Probably! Most of us have a tumultuous and emotional relationship with the scale.
Today's episode will give you 5 key reasons to change how you think about the scale.
Take a step towards healing that relationship and it will help you tremendously with losing weight with ease and self-love.
Objection! Assumes Facts Not in Evidence
Today's episode will help you recognize when you ask yourself leading questions that are useless and self-defeating!
Most of your inner dialogue is on autopilot and your brain loves to ask you questions. It also loves to answer those questions. To lose weight for good, you need to be able to hear what you are asking yourself and learn to rephrase your questions.
Use what you learn in today's episode to ask yourself better questions and focus your mind on positive, helpful actions for moving you towards your goals.
