Hi Teresa, Amazing to hear! Hope all is still going well!
I have just finished the first week of the 21 day reset. I am loving your training sessions with your nuggets of ‘enlightenment’. For the first time in along time I am enjoying the food I am eating and not dreading and regretting everything I put in my mouth. Sitting back and reflecting on the new me is so powerful. Thank you for passing on this new perspective.
Great to hear Julia! Glad you are enjoying it! Let us know if we can help you with anything!
I’m currently on the May reset and loving every aspect of it including listening to these podcasts. Really inspiring and helpful. Thanks Anna and team ❤️
Hi Jo, Glad to hear this!! Let us know if you need any help!
I don’t have instagram or the first idea about itunes- I’m a dinosaur where these are concerned. I am on the second week of the 21 day free reset programme and loving the recipes/cooking/food. I have learned that it is not just about weight, but fat loss as well (eating good fats is good!) and that you, only you, are in charge of your choices, but you are not alone, the support is immense. I am 65, have been a carer to my parents in the past and support my adult son who has mental health issues. At times when he is in hospital I either don’t eat or eat too much, it swings. I have osteoarthritis recently diagnosed in neck, hand, hip and foot. Pre-diabetes and need to lose 2 stone and I am committed and confident I have found the route to this end. Only I can help myself – I too could open a packet of biscuits and eat the lot!! I am at present recovering from an operation on my hand where a trapezium joint was removed due to arthritis – but the cooking has helped with the exercises for my hand and I have swapped yoga for Wall Pilates. There is always a way. I am steadily losing weight but feel much healthier – you are what you eat and you have proved that. By the way I love your accent Anna- a pleasure to listen to!
Amazing to hear this Lynne!! Glad to share your story and that you are willing to commit to yourself. And everyone has different lives, but we can all try to make better decisions to improve our health. Let us know if you need anything!
Found this podcast very interesting. This is so me thinking negatively, I will definitely turn those thoughts around into more positive thoughts and strive to find my new identity. Day 13 for me and so far so good.
Great podcast. Could certainly relate ! Found it very supportive.
Great to hear Melanie! Let us know if we can do anything for you.
I am listening and agree with all you are saying.
Hi Minnie, amazing to hear! Let us know if you need any help!
Hi Anna
Loving your podcasts as well as the reset your very inspiring. So this question you asked us to think about was hard for me, thinking about how I view myself, the things I tell myself when it comes to my weight and the negative comments I make, the fact is I rarely do. On the occasions I have I have wanted to lose weight it’s been due to either seeing a photo of myself which is few and far between (as I don’t like having my pictures taken)or I’ve looked in the mirror and thought god I need to sort this weight out I’m to fat. So after really thinking about it properly I’ve realised that I put everyone else 1st, just got the take aways or snacked on junk as ive been to busy and havent actually loved myself enough to take the time to take care of myself till now. Since signing up to your program and listening to you on zoom or on the podcasts I’ve found I’m actually thinking about food and what I’m putting into my body and its working so all I can say is thank you so much and I’m looking forward to the rest of my journey to a healthy happier me
Hi Jayne, amazing to hear that this is helping you in your journey! If you need any support, just let us know!
Loved this podcast
Makes you think there is so much more to eating healthy than controlling your food intake it’s certainly helps if you are in the right mindset
You control the food it does not control you
Hi Teresa, Amazing to hear you like the podcast! And you are right! Let us know if you need any help.
Great podcast, very motivating, I can relate to a lot of it. I’m on day 6 and loving all the recipes and snacks, haven’t touch anything sweet all week. Thank you so much for letting me join the group of lovely ladies and coaches and having the chance to turn things around.
Hi Dawn, amazing to hear you are enjoying the reset so far! Let us know if you need any support.
Hi Anna
I enjoyed the podcast and your positivity and enthusiasm is infectious and motivating. I can identify with all you say. Thanks for the opportunity to be part of this group. The recipes and meal plan are great and I had to smile yesterday when my daughter said the kitchen was like ‘ masterchef ‘ with all the lovely ingredients and cooking going on. The whole family are enjoying the meals too and are delighted I am doing this. 😀
Hi Ann,
Great pod cast, the old me has always struggled with my weight, I am not guilty of eating the wrong foods but guilty of eating too large a portion & eating too quickly.
The new me is loving the recipes and they are educating me in portion control.
I have looked at some of my meals and didn’t think I would stay full. How wrong I was.
I am learning to be more mindful while eating and taking my time instead of rushing.
I now understand that planning and prepping meals is essential, leaving nothing to chance.
The new me can do this I am in control, my future is bright, I am on a long journey but I am determined to get there.🥰
Enjoyed listening to you , food for thought !
Thank you
My weight yo yo felt like Blobby. Now I feel so positive about this. I know my medical conditions can contribute to weight going up and down but now I shall be in control. In the past I got so disheartened. Your podcasts are great, very motivated after listening this . So glad I started this. Thank you
Wow ! i am finding these podcasts so inspirational , I do struggle in the evenings though, I have dinner around six and go to bed around 11,30pm should i have a snack before i retired to bed to help my metabolisms burn off fat during the night
Hi Anna
Your podcast totally resonated with me as I was that person, I always identified as the chubby one in our family and amongst our friends
I always struggled with the “green eyed” monster when someone thin went by or was introduced to someone thin and together.
I have struggled with food when I am alone – thinking to my self so what if I eat the whole bag no one is here to notice. My father once told me when I was young – after I bought a new dress and shoes and had my hair done -” that everything looked good to bad the person wearing these things wasn’t as good looking” – looking back that had a devastating effect on me and I believe that’s why I turned to food and negative thoughts as I didn’t feel worthy. But effective today,
MY new identity will be to change my mindset to say I’m no longer the chubby one as I am on my way to a new healthier thinner person – that “what was is no longer what is”. I will embrace the quiet times that I am alone not with food but with meditation and positive thoughts!
I AM WORTHY!!!!
This is my second podcast and loving all the tips and advice.
Why i sabotage my weight is life style and I hate photos.
To change that I can and will change my life style and I love photos I am beautiful.
Looking forward to learning more.
Great advice, I’ve now actually listened to and written down my inner voice and going to flip it around,, Thanks Anna
I have always been the biggest in my social group , work , etc we are a family with weight issues
I have no willpower I’m addicted to bread carbs . I want to be healthy so true but feel this has been my destiny !! My dream has always been to achieve a healthy relationship with good Feel this programme is for me
Life would be more healthy/active
I am Wearing clothes that fit / suit me
I am planning meals in advance I am walking every day and building up my distance
I am changing my thinking and being the healthy version of me now
Great podcast for the start of my new journey
1) I am the fat person and it brings me down.
1)I am a person looking after my weight and taking steps to be healthy and slim.
2) I always give up because I am fat anyway.
2) I never give up because I am becoming a slim person.
I thoroughly enjoyed today’s podcast .It has actually opened my eyes ,and I have had one of those rare “lightbulb moments “.
To hear how a person’s early perception of themselves ,carries on into adult life , and can have such a detrimental effect .
I will tell myself ,that I am worthy of this journey to a healthy life .
I am not greatly overweight ,about a stone ,but have been telling myself , subconsciously,that I will never get this last bit of weight off … but I can and I will , because i am the one In control of what I put into my mouth , as you say ,my bloody is not a bin !
I won’t weigh myself ,I will use my clothes ,a mirror and a tape measure to track my progress .
I also strength training at home ,and can already see my body changing , so this is my push .. I will be at a point where I am satisfied with my overall look of my body , and I will be stronger and healthier !
Thankyou for today’s podcast ,it was an eye opener .
This is awesome. I love the food, the mind setting, the support. Taking the baby steps to success the right way. Loving separating the body from the soul. Moving away from feeling negative and moving towards feeling positive.
Thankyou for everything.
