The Livy Method Podcast - Maintenance & Mindfulness: Maintenance Midweek Motivation - February 26, 2025

Episode Date: February 26, 2025

In this week’s Midweek Motivation episode, Gina and Odette break down why maintaining your weight is a learning experience—your very own passion project focused on YOU. They also get into chasing the feeling of feeling good, why Feeding the Metabolism is such a game-changer, and how this week’s tweak is even more important when life gets busy. Plus, they'll help you get in the right mindset to approach this tweak, slow down, embrace the discomfort, and lean into real change.You can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulnessTo learn more about The Livy Method and our Maintenance & Mindfulness group, visit www.ginalivy.com.

We were just talking about how we need an intro and we were going to get Jody was, I don't know what happened to Jody, but Jody was going to do an intro. He's going to beat box or something. I think he just like tiptoed out of the room.

I think he like tiptoed backwards out of the room. He just gave like that nod like, yeah, yeah, I'll do it, I'll do it. Yeah, I'll do it. And then- Technical difficulties. Well, now he's got a week to prepare for next week. So next week he can beat box us in and give us a proper intro. We just roll with it around here. We roll with it around.

Hi, how are you? How is it Wednesday already? I feel like we just chatted on Monday. I know it, I'm good. I'm good, I'm glad that the sun is shining. I mean, we've got- Is it? Yeah.

No, you're in the basement. I mean, you probably don't come out of there very much. During the week. Yeah, so the sun is out. So that's nice. And people in the group are good. And I've been talking to Kim, weight loss group manager, and she's good. And we've been having some great chats this

week about members in both groups. So it's been, it's been a good week so far. And we're working on a book, we're working on to get a book ready for the maintenance program. Yes, we are working on it. We are in the throes of it now getting it all organized. We're really looking to have it out sooner rather than later. I know it's something that we've been talking about. It really is a passion project, too.

I mean, for our members, but for us, I think it's a really amazing milestone to be able to put this program in a book for our members and for members that are just maybe not quite here yet, but are interested in to see what it's all about, not ready to get in the group, but maybe they'll get the book and start reading through it. So I'm really excited to get it together for them. You know, Odette, I was just, I was asked by Obesity Matters to take part in a talk that they had. So they have this speaker series and with Sandra,

Elia, and you know, I'm looking at all these faces of people who obviously a part of obesity matters, they obviously are looking to lose weight, they're there to learn. And the conversation is so central on weight loss. And I was talking about how there needs to be an end to your weight loss journey. And someone's like, Well, I believe like I'll still have to do a lot of work to be able to not gain my weight back. And I'm just like, oh yeah, like maintenance is a whole other can of worms and a conversation nobody is having. And so there's just there's zero support for people that once they lose their weight, no

matter how you lose it, get gastric bypass, taking any of these new weight loss medications, let's just say quick fix, keto, whatever, you've lost your weight, there is zero support out there for maintaining and sustaining your weight. And what people don't realize, as we know here, it's a whole other can of worms. It's a whole other beast. It's a whole other skill set that now you need to be able to a whole new mindset. And then with the way living method weight loss program,

or at least we're working on that mindset piece, as we're losing weight, and we're solidifying that mindset, we're solidifying our weight, and we're solidifying our mindset in maintenance. But if you think back to other diets that you've done, or other people out there, you know, trying so hard to be solidifying our mindset in maintenance. But if you think back to other diets that you've done or other people out there, you know, trying so hard to be successful losing, and there's just, there's no, there's no support.

Risa was there. She's like, the conversation today was incredible. You're an amazing person, speaker, Gina. Aw, thanks. I mean, I just love talking about it. But when it's not my community, and you're looking at a sea of faces a faces of people are just like, give me the answers. And I just had this overwhelming like, oh, man, like

you got to get through weight loss first, and then you got to get through maintenance, man, like, how do I even explain to people what maintenance is all about? It's just like, man, it's a lot. Hi, Grace. I think that, you know, there's so much focus on the physical of the physical work of weight loss, you know, and I don't mean physical, just physical body. I mean, like food prepping, it's physical. That's what people think.

Working out is physical. That's what people think. Likely, you know, not even food prepping, but planning. What am I going to eat? When am I going to eat it? Like that's also work, you're writing it down, you're planning, you're going out, you're collecting your food. And that's the physical work. And I think when people think they have to do so much more work, they think that that's the work that they have to do. And that can feel exhausting if it's just physical work. I think if we can look at maintenance as an experience, as a learning journey, like

really accepting and seeing all of these learning opportunities, it can be an exciting type of work. It's a type of work that's like a passion project. It's like their maintenance book. You know, like this is your passion project. So it's not the physical work, the tediousness of going through those, you know, physical motions and having to see a physical change happen. It's really that that journey of emotional work of mental work of growth, so much growth, so much learning. And when you're doing something that you are passionate about, when you're doing something that you love or believe in, then it doesn't necessarily feel like work. It feels like, again, a passion project. It feels like something that you want to do where you're doing the work, but it doesn't feel like work.

It's the work. I woke up this morning, I don't know if you caught my morning live, because I don't know if you just hang off every word and listen to all my lies, but why not? because I don't know if you just hang off every word and listen to all my lies. Probably not. I like set my alarm. Like I make sure I get up at, you know, God awful time so I can do all my work so then I can just listen to you all day. So that's how my day rolls around. Right back at you. I woke up this morning thinking like, wow,

the whole world is trying to figure out how we lose weight. Yeah. Right? Like we're trying to, the world is obsessed with trying to figure out how do we lose weight? And no one is talking about the work that needs to be done because they're trying to figure out how do we lose weight, but sell it in a way that it's a quick fix. Right? Like this is the easy route, the quick fix, this is going to help. And it's really not that. It's the work. It's the work that you put into it that is really the key to sustainable

weight loss at the end of the day. And it's just, I guess it's weighing on me the amount of work that it is, but what I love about the program, you're doing it in such a systematic way. And people who are now in maintenance have done so much of that work that now this is where you're dealing with like feeling worthy, right? Or learning to trust, like great.

That's all you got to worry about is feeling worthy and trusting. Cause you dealt through all that, you work through all the other shit already. So it is truly an exciting place to be in your journey. Yeah. And I think it's also this place of realizations too.

I was just reading Judy's comment here. It says, I used to think maintenance was just getting back to the way I used to live. And I feel like that can sometimes be so much of the emphasis when you hear even weight loss ads. You can eat all the foods that you love. You don't have to exercise. I mean, we know you don't exercise to lose weight, but you want to exercise.

And when you say you can eat all the foods that you love, what if, you know, when you come to the realization that all of these foods that you love make you feel like crap, you know, then those, it's just this journey of realizations that you're just, you know, every day you're learning something new every day that you, you know, you're moving towards something and I think that when we're thinking about weight loss and having all the answers we can give you the tools and we can help you figure it out but those answers are gonna only come from you and from you asking the questions to yourself you know do all the foods that I love are is it do I

want to go back to eating all the foods that I love, do I want to go back to eating all the foods that I love because they made me feel like crap, or can I just have them sometimes and eat the foods that really make me feel better? You know, I think it's not going back to the way that you lived before. And I think sometimes the hard truth that we tell people here or the truth that we make them realize is that you can't go back to the living the way that you did before, because then you're going to be the way that you were before and you're going to feel the way that you did before.

I think that's part of the work too. Yeah, you can't go back. No. You can't go back. That didn't provide the lifestyle that you wanted. It didn't give you what you wanted. You weren't happy there and you can't go back to that. So you have to move forward and you have to maintain and sustain the changes that you wanted. It didn't give you what you wanted. You weren't happy there, and you can't go back to that. So you have to move forward and you have to maintain and sustain the changes that you've made to make the change.

Yeah. And I think, you know, I think it's, so you can't go back to the way that it all was, but that's not to say you can't go back and enjoy. Let's just talk about food. You can't, it's not that you can't go back and enjoy those foods sometimes. If you love pizza and you wanna have it, have it. If you love pasta and you wanna have it, have it. It's not you can't go back to that once in a while, but you can't go back to the habits or the routines that are always around the things that make you feel

not well, whether it's food or not resting well, or drinking too much alcohol or not moving your body and being, you know, like you can't go back to that, but those little pieces here and there, you can still enjoy them in little bits here and there. Or overeating and then under eating or going all day without eating. And that brings us to the tweak this week. So feeding the metabolism and really reinforcing, so your portions that you were consuming before you lost your weight were based on

how much your body was used to consuming. And so as you've gone through the program, how many programs that you did, you worked hard to get in tune to your portions. And maybe your portions have increased because you are more active now, your metabolism is higher because you are more active now, your metabolism is higher and you need more.

But it's really easy when we stop being as mindful for our portion sizes to start creeping up and creeping up and creeping up. And so splitting other meals and snacks, there's a couple things it does, it helps to get you even more in tune or back in tune to portions. It also makes you realize or take a look at your life. So now beyond losing weight, now that you're maintaining your weight, are you still continuing to carry on

with this ridiculously busy lifestyle where you are fighting to find times to prioritize yourself? Like the people having really big feels, especially our first time members about this week in weight loss. Cause like, oh, I'm already cooking so much. Oh my gosh. I've already, I don't have time for this. How do I do this when I'm, you know, in my car all day, rushing from meeting to meeting to meeting? I mean, maybe the fact that you're in your car all day and rushing from meeting to meeting is

exactly why you have weight to lose in the first place. And so this is really allowing you to take a look at your life and your lifestyle from now a perspective where you're no longer in a state of losing. I'm going to do whatever it takes to lose from the perspective of maintenance. I mean like, okay, let me look at this. Like, let's see, okay, what is going on with my portions? What happens if I do take these portions? I think I'm satisfied on and split them into, and let's see how hard it is to make time for this in my life. And that'll highlight how busy I am or what I have going on. Right? So, and also challenging your body is how you get your body to take things to the next level. And so maybe you're maintaining

your weight just fine, you feel just fine, but that doesn't mean that your body can't be challenged to work harder and be more efficient and to give you even more energy and So feeding the metabolism again also is the lead-up in the setup to our next Tweet coming down that pipeline where make it easier for the body to get the nutrients that it needs And so there's a lot of benefit in this tweak even in even even in maintenance I would say there's there's there's more benefit in everything that we're doing with these tweaks in I would say there's more benefit in everything that we're doing with these tweaks in maintenance. It's even more important to understand them than even in weight loss. Weight loss, if you just did the basic food plan, eventually you would lose your weight.

But now we're talking about solidifying that weight and really solidifying the changes that you've made and really being in tune so you can trust when to eat, what to eat, how much to eat. That to me is more important. I agree with that. You know, I'm going to say like 99% of our members that are here in maintenance know us. So they've come from the weight loss method, the living method weight loss program. So they're familiar with us, they're familiar with the tweaks, they've gone through them before. And now that they're in maintenance, I think it can be easy for them to think, oh, I know this tweak,

I'm just going to go through the motions, I don't have to think too much about it. And I think sometimes the anticipation of this tweak, this one specifically, is worse than the actual tweak itself when members start thinking like, how am I going to do this? I'm so busy. I don't have time for this. I already know what I'm doing. I don't need to do this tweak. I feel fine. I don't need to do this tweak.

And this tweak is really, this is exactly why you do need to do it. This is exactly why you're forced to slow down to bring an awareness to use those. I said this on Monday, use those four steps of mindful eating. Like it is your job. And not just the first portion, but also the second one.

I think when we talk about that second portion, I think this is where that mindfulness can slip when we're talking about our experienced members, members who have done this before. So like, oh, I'll just have my token bites and they'll just have them. They're like, it's four bites of, it's four chews of four or five bites, I'll just do it.

But then they don't think like, did I need all four of those bites or maybe I did get hungry as I was eating those four bites or just going through the motion. So I think this is a perfect opportunity to slow down as uncomfortable and unfamiliar as that might be, which is exactly where you need to be. And to use those four steps like they're your job.

Risa says, I didn't like this tweak when I started the program and it's become my favorite. It's incredible to see how it has helped me become even more in tune

with my satisfied cues. Yeah. And that I'm not usually hungry for the second portion. It's like, absolutely. I think you owe it to yourself hungry for the second portion. It's like, absolutely. I think you owe it to yourself to give it your all. It's there my days where you're just like, you feel like garbage and you're just barely going through the motions and that's great. But you know, it's again, it comes to that why, why, why are you here? You're here, you're doing this because you want to move on from your weight loss journey. You want to solidify the skills, the mindset, um, your weight so that you can truly move on from your weight loss journey. You want to solidify the skills, the mindset,

your weight so that you can truly move on. And what would you say to your kid who was like, oh, I don't have to do all my homework tonight. Oh, I'll just do half my homework tonight. Oh, I don't want to do this homework. I'm not doing it tonight. What would we say to them? Right?

Like what? Like your teacher gave you this homework for a reason. Like you're gonna get this shit done. That's how you're gonna move on and graduate and grow and all those things. And, you know, I know in life that's like, we all have a lot of things to do. So this is just one more thing.

But the time that you invest now, is it gonna be the time you save later? And, you know, truly, truly, truly be able to move on. So it's worth, and it's the thoughts and the feels. If you have big thoughts or big feels about anything that we're doing here, that's the work for you. That's the work for you.

Like, oh, I don't have time, and I don't wanna do this. And just the thought of it, it's just the thought of doing it is stressing you out. That's the work for you. That's the work. And I think using this homework analogy too, like you're doing this homework analogy today

to set you up, like you said, for success later to graduate, to be able to move on. And that's what this tweak, if you can look at it that way as well, like, yes, it's helping you become more mindful, it's helping you become more in tune. It's all of that. But it's also helping you recognize when something is uncomfortable and how you can work through that later. It's helping you recognize when you do need to slow down, when you do need to not have that stamp of busyness as a badge of honor. It's helping you understand like, I need to take a minute, I need to slow down, I need

to sit with this as uncomfortable as it might be. That's what feeding the metabolism could also bring up because you're forced to do that you're forced to slow down, you're forced to think about it. And you can't just, you know, brush it off. Yeah, and it may be that you've done it before and you lost weight just fine. And here's Judy, I'm not sure if I ever really given this tweak my all, that will be my intention over the next few days, I really want to focus on this. And, and you know, you can, you can have ever really given this tweak my all. That will be my intention over the next few days. I really wanna focus on this.

And you can have not really given it all your attention and still reach your weight loss goals, right? And now that you've reached your goals and your maintenance, now you can be like, okay, let me see what this is about. Maybe you didn't have the capacity before. Maybe you had so many other things going on. Maybe the scale was moving and grooving. So you're like, yeah, whatever way I'm doing it,

I guess is working. So why not, right? So I never want people to pay more than they need. I never want to put people through undue stress, right? Like I want things to be easy peasy for people. And again, sometimes doing the hard work is the easy way out by doing the hard work in the first place. At some point, you have to pay.

Yeah. And I think if we break this down a little bit and we talk a lot about how we approach things and what's your approach, I think if you approach this as a difficult, uncomfortable, unfamiliar thing that's going to happen, it's going to start tomorrow, oh gosh, I'm not looking forward to it. I don't want to do it.. Maybe you can switch the approach like, okay, maybe I'm gonna give it a shot. I'm gonna give it, I'm gonna make a plan

so that I can give it 100%. And if I get to 90%, that's better than letting your, the stress of the anticipation from not doing it all at all. So plan for it, shoot high. Why not? Shoot high. You know, so, so plan for it. Shoot high, why not? Shoot high, like tell yourself, I'm going to take, you know, every meal and snack. I'm going to split every meal and snack.

At the end of the day, if you have done 100% amazing, if you've done 90% amazing, if that lunch couldn't get split because you had to be in your car driving around or you had got pulled into a meeting. Maybe tomorrow you can be ready for that. Maybe you're going to have that foresight that the next time a plan doesn't go as you had hoped, you're not going to tell yourself you failed it. Why am I doing it anyways? It's just a bump in the road and you can get

past it and you can plan to maybe do better the next time and see how it goes the next day. Yeah, or if you made a plan and you were ready for it and your whole day went to shit, sit back and be like, what happened there? What's going on in my life that I didn't have time? And then maybe you'll have an appreciation for what is going on in your life, right? Like sometimes life does not make it easy for us

to do the things that we need to do, but then maybe it will show yourself some more grace. Maybe you'll show yourself some more understanding Maybe you'll be more patient with yourself me like, okay I'm I want to be here. I'm here but and I'm giving it the best I can Life is not making it easy for me. So I'm just gonna accept and be proud of the fact that I'm here today Yeah, I mean today today is not my best day, but damn it, I am here. Yeah, those days are gonna keep coming. Even when you feel like you have maintenance nailed,

when you feel like you are living the living way and you have it nailed, those days are gonna still happen. And you might as well learn how to get through them now. So then down the road, it's not gonna be so much of a lap in the base or so much as this massive hurdle you have to get over. I think it was Mel Robbins once I heard her say, like dreams aren't necessarily there

for you to achieve your dreams. They are the path forward. So I think if we set out to be 100% and then we're 50%, like at least we went 50% in the right direction. You know, and so maybe I won't have the, I, every time I say that I feel weird. Um, it's hard for me to say I won't have the number one weight loss. It's hard for me to say that because I believe so wholeheartedly that I will do that. I'm like a big dreamer and I just I don't let anything get in my way. But you know, maybe I won't for whatever reason, kind of so hard for me to say that.

Just this example, maybe for shits and giggles, let's say I don't, but I maybe become the 10th most successful or the top 50 weight loss programs or do you know what I mean? At least I'll get, I'm headed in that direction and maybe I won't get there, but it's probably not going to happen because it absolutely will happen. It's going to happen. Um, but you know, disfershits and giggles if I didn't make it to the number one, I've still moved in that direction and that's so great. That's amazing. It's so great. And I think when you go with that approach, with that, with that belief system, I think that is more

than half the battle. You talk about, oh, that's half the battle. That is more than half the battle. That belief system, laying that foundation, that is who you are. That is what you believe. And that is going to be reality. Like, there's no way that it can't be because that's, you know, exactly what it's going to be. And you believe that we say that we put it out there and that's there's no way that it can't be that because that's exactly what it's going to be. And you believe that, we say that, we put it out there.

And there's no way that it can't be that because that's what it's believed to be. If you're thinking, if you think you can do it, you've already done it or you're thinking of it, you've already done it. You just gotta keep moving forward and keep doing it. What else, anything else people need to know about the tweak this week or anything else

you wanna get across and share? I think that was really most of it that we, you know, yes, this week is about, you know, again, mindfulness portions, but it's also about that uncomfortable place. And it's also about that place of slowing down and prioritizing yourself. And we're going to talk more about this next week, also around feeding the metabolism, that we know that our members feel really uncomfortable prioritizing their own time and making time for themselves. And this is also what this tweet can do. We've heard that from our people, like, oh, I

have to go out with my friends. I have to have, I'm having company over. I can't do it because of A, B, and C. And I think that when you get to that place I can't do it because of A, B, and C. And I think that when you get to that place where you're having to say, listen, I need to take time for myself. I need to do this for myself. I'm trying to grow and learn and listen, say, I'm trying to sustain my weight, like be honest.

This is trying to slow down. I'm trying to be in the moment. Someone's like, well, I have to go out for dinner. I'm like, okay, so you're going sustain my weight, like be honest. You know, and this is- I'm just trying to slow down. I'm trying to be in the moment. Like someone's like, well, I have to go out for dinner. I'm like, okay, so you're going out with dinner with a big group. No one's going to pay attention to what you're doing. Start eating some of your food, take a break halfway through, listen to the conversation,

drink some water. Maybe it's not 20 minutes, but it's 15 minutes. Right? And then just, and then be like, oh, I'm just letting my food, the waiter comes by and is, are you done? Just say, no, I'm not done. I'm just waiting, waiting on my did this this other day. Sonia and I went out and we wanted to enjoy our dinner. And so we're like, let's just not rush through it. And so we ate so slowly, like and just talked and took a break and really was like, indulged in the food. And we're like, Oh my God, this is so good. And this one waiter

kept coming by is like, Are you done? It was like, you know, one, one, um, it was like a beet salad with like goat cheese on it and like tiny little piece. We're like, no, don't touch it. We're not done. Right. And then we're like, like, I'm still might have that. And so, you know, so it's not really as inconvenient as people think because you eat your lunch at your desk and then you're doing some work, go do some work and 20 minutes later, you know, come back and have the second bit like, you know, there's ways to do it. And I think, yeah, I think the big takeaway is just don't, don't feel bad doing it. Don't feel, you know, don't, don't let that, that guilt of taking time for yourself or being

honest about your journey hold you back from doing it. You're not putting anybody else out. And if you're putting them out for five minutes, it's five minutes of like, they can wait for you for five minutes or 20 minutes. I can't remember where it was because a few years back, and I think I was at a, I was on, I was flying with friends. I was somewhere with friends traveling and we were eating and then we sat down and they were all like half their portion. I was like, what are you guys doing?

They're like, we're feeding them metabolism this week. And I was like, oh shit. Oh, okay. That makes sense. And I was just like, you know what I mean? Cause I, cause then they're like, we're just doing it. It's what we're doing. So.

Just doing it. Yeah. Just doing it. That's what I want them to know. I want them to just lean into it. Lean into, like I said, those four steps of mindful eating, both portions. Not just the first one, not just the second one, both.

And don't skip it because you think you know it. Let yourself be in it, don't skip it because you think you know it. Let, let yourself be in it, be all into it. And then notice if that, if that feeling is uncomfortable, notice if you're anticipating, oh, the weekend is coming. How am I going to do this? You know, I have an event coming. How am I going to do this? Recognize that, recognize that uncomfortable feeling and, and let yourself sit with it and see what you can learn from it. Yeah. Also recognize that you're in tune. If the thought of eating so often is exhausting,

it's because it is. It's exhausting. Your body's like, what the fuck are you doing? And your body's like, I don't need this. Why are you doing that? So, oh my God, okay, here we go. More food coming in. Let's work on the food we ate before.

Oh my God, more fucking food coming in. Let's work on the food. Oh my God, this girl will not stop. Yeah. Let's kick it in high gear. Let's process this food. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. And so your intuition is picking up on the fact that that's exhausting. And that is making the body work extra hard for your food. That is making the body work. Digestion is one of the hardest things to do. You are forcing your body to work extra hard. That's where you're going to feel that. So also part of it is just being in tune to that's fucking crazy pants. Yeah. Or many times a day. It's not normal. It's not supposed to be normal. We're not normalizing it. It's not normal. And being this far, like this was never, I never liked feeding the metabolism.

I still like, for me, it's, you know, on a personal level, this tweak is one of the hardest because it is, it's an inconvenience. And I have to always remember like, Oh, I've got to go back downstairs again. But I, but I do that. I don't bring my whole portion upstairs because then it makes it a little easier. You know, so I'm like, no, I'm going to put it downstairs and remind myself that yes, this is an inconvenience and why is this inconvenient, but I'm going to do it anyway because I know this is what I need to do.

So yeah, it is one of those tweets that yeah, I didn't like. I still don't like. Just get it done, y'all. Get it done. Yeah, this way you get to do it this week and next week. It's only four days. I'll survive. It's no big deal.

Yes, so for the rest of the week, so tomorrow is Thoughtful Thursday. I know we don't really define our days as much anymore, but we still think about them and tomorrow is Thoughtful Thursday. So we're asking our members to really redefine their success. You know, really, what did it used to mean? And maybe what does it mean now? And of course, we have Andrew Blakey coming on. So I know he's going to be in the weight loss group. And he's so amazing that we're going to also stream them here in the maintenance group. And he shared some, he shared a video that I'm posting for, I just got it actually, I'm going to post it tomorrow. He shared a video that I'm posting for, I just got it actually. I'm going to post it tomorrow.

I thought it's an amazing video for, especially our members here in this Northern climate who have been shoveling snow. Probably they feel like their whole life at this point. So it's core exercises to help you feel strong and safe and fit. So just take care of your core. Yeah. So that's coming up tomorrow. And then Friday is fun. We're going gonna have some fun around food on Fridays.
