I’ve been thinking a lot about “rules” lately…  It started with my desire to put my Christmas decorations out on Nov 1st.  Because seriously - someone just made up a rule, arbitrarily, that you can’t put it up before Thanksgiving.    But this happens often with weight loss, exercise, divorce, dating.  We want a set of rules to follow, hoping that if we can follow them perfectly, we’ll create the results we want.  No challenges, no suffering, just quick, fast results.    But life doesn’t work like that.  In fact I found the opposite to be true - it’s only when we break the diet, divorce, and dating rules that we can truly create what we really want in life.    And when you’re ready to lose weight, end emotional eating, and truly enjoy the holidays instead of running frazzled in survival mode…  Come work with me.  I'll teach you how to re-regulate your nervous system when you get triggered, how to meet your own emotional needs, and create a life so good you don't need an escape.  Your next best step is to schedule a free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule  

The holidays are often full of sweets - cookies, cakes, pies, candy.  You can’t go far without something homebaked and made with love being shoved in your face (and sometimes in your mouth).  But you don’t have to spend this holiday season missing out or stressing out about what you can or can’t eat.  Today’s episode will highlight common pitfalls when it comes to food and maintaining healthy habits during the holidays, and what to do instead.  Keep listening to learn more.    And when you’re ready to break free from toxic cycles of dieting, emotional eating, and people-pleasing, it’s time to come work with me.  Schedule your free consultation to learn more: www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule.

What if I told you your people-pleasing habit was really just a desire to control others?  Typically, this desire for ‘control’ stems from a place of survival.  You learned you needed to show up a certain way in order to keep other people happy and avoid conflict, so that they would keep meeting your emotional needs.  But this coping mechanism is only holding you hostage.  Keep listening as I break down the nuanced dark side of this trait, and the first steps to breaking free.    Ready to lose weight, end emotional eating, and truly enjoy the holidays instead of running around frazzled, in survival mode?  Come work with me.  I'll teach you how to re-regulate your nervous system when you get triggered, meet your own emotional needs, and create a life so good you don't need an escape.  Your next best step is to schedule a free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule   

As we head into the last two months of the year, it’s easy to pull back on our goals, as a form of self protection.  Because if you weren’t really trying, you don’t have to feel disappointed when you don’t lose weight or make progress.  And while you may not quit forever, it’s a little ‘q’ quit.  It’s like a football team giving up in the last quarter, because they’re behind.  Or giving up in the last 5 minutes, when really there's still so much time left to play.    What would it look like to NOT quit on yourself this year?   Imagine going into the new year 8-10 pounds lighter, without givie up on your favorite foods, drinks, or holiday traditions...  This can be your reality, too.  Your next best step is to schedule a free consultation where we'll talk more about where you are now, where you'd like to be this time next year, and the customized process you need to create it with ease.  www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule   Let 2025 be the year you don't give up on yourself. 

Most of us are familiar with your basic nervous system responses: fight, flight, freeze, appease.  But you're likely not familiar with the diet habit associated with each one.  Tune in today for more on how different food patterns play out based on our nervous system reponse.  And remeber:  You haven’t failed. You’ve just been trying to heal with tools that were never designed for your kind of pain.   When you're ready to heal from diet trauma and relationship trauma, and finally feel peace and ease around food, in your body, and with yourself, I'd love to help.  Schedule your free consultation at: www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule   

Everyone experiences some form of trauma in their life, but the bigger question is:  “What will you do with it?”   Because the painful triggers will wake you up.   What is your trauma trying to awaken within you?  You hold the pen. Your trauma just handed it to you.   Join me for this very special guest episode where I dive deep into the world of trauma and healing with AnneMarie Tortorigi.    Connect with AnneMarie on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/annemarie_tortorigi and https://www.instagram.com/peakvalleycreations    Read her blog: https://peakvalleycreations.com/blogs/news  Check out her shop: https://peakvalleycreations.com/collections/sex-is-cool 

Today we dive deeper into the world of trauma, and in particular complex trauma and complex PTSD, and what truly blocks you from healing.    Maybe you feel this constant, heavy overwhelm post-divorce.  Maybe you’re frustrated with yourself, because you can’t even seem to do the simple or easy things.  Maybe you feel like you shouldn’t still be dealing with this; like you’ve left the relationship so the ‘trigger’ should be gone, as well as all your trauma responses.    Welcome to the world of healing, where there’s no simple 12-step process, but I promise you CAN find peace and freedom.  Join me as I share a slightly different take on how to break out of survival mode and find meaning in your pain.    To learn more about working together, either 1-1 or in a small group, schedule your free consultation at: www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule.  To learn more about the Body You Crave Accelerator group coaching experience, visit: https://www.bodyyoucrave.com/accelerator Make sure you connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jillianscoaching and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jillian.amadea    Lose weight and end emotional eating as you heal from toxic relationships.

Today we're diving into the difference between three common eating patterns I help clients address:  1. Binge Eating 2. Over-Eating  3. Emotional Eating  It's important we properly identify / diagnose the right 'problem,' so that we use the right solution.  And if by the end of the episode you're struggling to identify which pattern you fall into, simply send me a DM and I'll help. ;)    To learn more about working together, either 1-1 or in a small group, schedule your free consultation at: www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule.    To learn more about the Body You Crave Accelerator group coaching experience, visit: https://www.bodyyoucrave.com/accelerator   Make sure you connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jillianscoaching and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jillian.amadea  Tag me in your posts, stories, reels, and re-shares for entries to win the listener challenge! 

Your best superpower = learning to love yourself just as much when you’re failing, as when you’re succeeding.  So often we think we have to beat ourselves up and internally “punish” ourselves in some way to make up for the mistake… to teach us a lesson.  But this is a toxic pattern.  This one question has the power to change your entire perspective:  What would it look like to LOVE myself more now, through this setback?  How would I be thinking and talking to myself if I had the thought: "this is all moving me forward." This is how we create safety to lose weight.    Share with me on social media - what does it look like for you to love yourself more after a setback or missed expectation?  Tag me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jillianscoaching or on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jillian.amadea    The year is not over yet!

Now I know “enjoyable” is NOT a word often associated with weight loss.  Neither is fun, simple, easy, relaxed.  Part of it is because 99% of diets are super restrictive. You have to “miss out” on food, drinks AND events.  But the other issue is that we’re in such a hurry to get “there,” because we typically withhold praise, validation, and feeling good about ourselves until we do.  No compliments, no feeling proud of yourself; just constant criticism until you've lost all the weight.  This is what makes weight loss hard.  This is what makes weight loss suck.  But there’s a better way.  Keep listening for more on the secret to actually speeding up your weight loss journey.    And when you’re ready to go all in on yourself, end emotional eating, lose weight, and create a life that lights you the f**k up…  I’ll show you how.  Schedule your free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule.   Still looking for a resource that actually helps you decode your emotional eating habit?

The holidays don’t have to mean overeating, guilt, or waiting until January to start over.  But you've got to address the #1 primary reason you're emotionally eating.  Because it's not just stress, overwhelm, or trying to relax...  It's the Fear of Missing Out.  This fear and all the thoughts that come with it, about the scarcity of food and missing out on all the fun, will block you every year until you break the cycle.   I'll teach you how to enjoy the season FULLY — food, fun, and connection — while still making progress toward your health and weight loss goals.  NOW is the best time to get started.  Schedule your free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule and let's make this holiday season unlike any other you've experienced before.  Full of joy, fun, pleasure, and a deep sense of being present in all the amazing moments.

See you there!   

Food isn’t just a coping mechanism to feel better in the moment, it’s how your body has learned to regulate your nervous system.  So when you “take away the food” with most diets, you’re not just taking away the quick hit of dopamine or momentary sense of pleasure…  You’re taking away the primary way your body has learned to cope, relax, and self-soothe on a deep level.  This is where “self-sabotage” often comes into play, but I want you to start thinking about it in a new way.  Because it’s really a form of self protection.  Keep listening and learn how to shift out of negative thought patterns, so that you can lose weight and end emotional eating for good.    PS - Did you hear I’m hosting a brand new free workshop?! “3 Myths of Holiday Weight Loss + How to Break Free” Get all the details and register here   https://workshops.bodyyoucrave.com/3-holiday-myths Still need to download your free End Emotional Eating Tool?

One of the most self-sabotaging patterns I see with clients (and myself) is being afraid to believe in ourselves.  And there's one thought in particular that so often holds us back:   "Don't get your hopes up."  I'm sure we've all heard this growing up and throughout our adult lives, and it's really become your brain's way of now keeping you safe.  Because it wants to protect you from feeling disappointed.  The problem is that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy whereby we don't fully go after those big dreams and goals. We hold ourselves back.  But don't worry - there's a simple fix!  Join me for today's episode where we dive deeper into this sabotaging pattern and how to break free.  And I want to challenge you to believe something new...  Something that feels so counterintuitive, but will catapult your results in EVERY part of life!    Register for the free upcoming workshop: 3 Myths of Holiday Weight Loss + How to Break Free.   https://workshops.bodyyoucrave.com/3-holiday-myths   Still need to download your free End Emotional Eating Tool?

This episode is specifically about tragedies that happen around the world, but do not happen to YOU personally.  We have to protect our mental and emotional energy fiercely,  Which means choosing to not indulge in constant negative thinking or worst-case scenarios.  This is your permission to turn the news off. To look away. To disengage.  Reclaim your self authority and decide on purpose where and how you want to spend your mental and emotional dollar-bucks.   

I appreciate the conversations we’re starting to have about Food Noise (or what I call Mind Drama with food).  This is one of the signs of Diet Trauma, and no amount of weight loss is going to heal this for you.  In fact, it's quite the opposit.  The more you heal your Diet Trauma, the easier weight loss becomes.  Join me for today’s episode where we dive deeper into these two themes, so that you can solve the REAL problem.  Don’t worry - that’s where I come in!  I’ll help you heal the constant obsession with food, exercise, the scale, and your body, so that you can create a LIFE full of joy, pleasure, and FUN!  Schedule your free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule and I’ll show you how.
