Welcome to our maintenance midweek motivation conversation hot off the heels of our conversation on Monday. Joining me as always is Odette, who is the manager of our maintenance program. We are on a Monday. Joining me as always is Odette, who is the manager of our maintenance program.

We are on week four, we are downsizing. Of course we run the program alongside our weight loss program. If you are listening to this or you are in the group right here right now, chances are you've lost your weight. And now you are trying to solidify your weight. You're trying to help your body make your new weight,

your new norm. We have people who have been in maintenance for years, people who are trying to solidify your weight. You're trying to help your body make your new weight, your new norm. We have people who have been in maintenance for years, people who are new to maintenance at various different stages. But if you're following along our actual maintenance program, we are downsizing this week. So hi Odette, hello, welcome back.

Hi, how are you today? Good. Good. Good. Yeah, I thought I was gonna get a cold. I thought I felt something to get a cold. I thought I felt something coming and I think I've turned the corner. So I'm feeling even better.

I did, I did, was not feeling hot the other day. And then I've just drugged myself up with nightcloth last couple of days. I don't know what I'm saying or where I am half the time and dragging my ass out of bed is like torture. I'm like a zombie. My face is all mashed up. I don't know what day it is, torture. I'm like a zombie. My face is all mashed up. I don't know what day it is, but I'm feeling better. Yeah. My daughter told me I had pillow face the other day.

And I said, what's the pillow face? I think it's like when you're like, you're like, you wake up and it's like, you know, you look like you slept pretty hard on it. So I'm pretty sure I'm waking up with a whole bed face. Like it's not beyond just the pillow. It's pretty bed face-y. Yeah. whole bed face. Like it's not beyond just the pillow. It's pretty bed face-y. Yeah. Yeah. So it was good. You know, this midweek motivation, I mean, I know we do it for the members, but selfishly, I think I do it for myself too. I love to come together and just read through and see how people are doing. And sometimes what the members are saying, I'm like, hey, yeah, you know, I can resonate with that. I feel that too. And it was, I think the beginning of the week,

I was feeling that a little bit. And now it's like, oh, I feel good. This is gonna be a good week. We're gonna finish it off pretty strong. All right, good. So where are people at? You gave them homework Monday. Yeah.

I gave them homework to just really lean in, to realize that downsizing is a tweak that we use, yes, to get back in tune with our portions, but also to realize that change can be tough. Shaking things up can be tough. We've been in this comfortable place of following the basic food plan. Of course we've asked them to get a little bit deeper

with their thoughts and their actions, but really feel it this week. And members have been feeling the shakeup. So, you know, we've had a we had a post come out on being in autopilot mode. And it was, it was pretty busy. It's pretty active members are really resonating with it and saying, you know, you autopilot is this thing. It's this, it's this place where it's important, it's needed. It helps us make a thousand decisions a day.

But where the issue comes up is that you can break that connection with yourself. You can break that connection with your actions or how you're feeling because you're just so in this mode. It's like, I don't know if this ever happened to you where you've driven home and you'd be like, I don't even remember that drive home. I just did the drive because I've done a thousand times. It's scary. It's like, how did I get here? Yeah. Yeah. And I think sometimes routines and habits because you just go about, you're doing what feels good. You're doing what know you should be doing. But then I think members have noticed that they did lose that connection with themselves. And they just are going through the motions.

I think this week of downsizing has really shaken things up for them. And they're, you know, really appreciative of like, oh, shit, like, I'm have to shake things up here. Yeah, I love that perspective. And also, it's, you know, it does have to do with portions where, you know, you can be eating more and more and more and sure you're maintaining your weight, but you, you know, you're eating more than you need. So it's about it. Get getting back into into your portions. It's also getting really in tune. We were talking this morning for the tweet this week conversation, Kim and I, the difference between hungry and starving, the difference between satisfaction and starving, the difference between satisfaction

and full, like really just solidifying those feelings. It's good to remind yourself what slightly unsatisfied feels like. So, you know, when you're actually really hungry versus when you, you are satisfied and just really solidifying that you have a very clear understanding of where you are at so you can trust when to eat, what to eat and how much to eat. Because hunger, as we know, can be a variety of different things. Actually, you need to eat and you're hungry. It could be a trigger. It could be a habit. It could be wanting a dopamine hit. You're hungry because you had sugar, so you want more sugar. You're stressed, so you want chips and salty foods. And so it's really just about solidifying

your body's cues when it comes to your body's cues. Yeah, we had members saying that, they would walk away from a meal and be like, oh, how did I get so full? How did I, because they're just sitting there, you know, eating this meal that's that they've put together, that is all the components, that it's everything that they know they should be having that makes them feel good. But then they're just having it. And then they're like, Oh, why do I feel full now? How did I get to this

point? And it's that that little bit of disconnection. So like you said, reminding yourself what slightly unsatisfied feels like is going to remind you what satisfied feels like what full feels like. And I think we talked about this on Monday, too, where, you know, not having like full is not not having food in your belly, like that physical feeling of of knowing you have food in your. That's not hungry. That's just not full and stuffed. You know, you're not hungry. You hungry. That's that physical feeling of having nothing in your tummy, which is very different than hunger. Yeah. And I want to remind people who are doing maintenance that some of the struggles that people are dealing with downsizing when they are losing weight, especially our new

members, right? They have a fear of being hungry, so they're trying to eat a bigger breakfast or they're adding in bonus snacks when they haven't needed bonus snacks, they're adding in snacks after dinner because they're just like, what if I'm gonna be hungry? And then they're afraid if they're hungry, they're gonna make the wrong choice.

Food waste issues, right? Having a hard time leaving food on their plate. What do they do with that? Food scarcity issues, there's not gonna be enough. So that's really what they're dealing with. And if you can remember back to what you were dealing with the first time you did downsizing when you were looking to lose,

heck, the second, third, fifth, 16th time you did downsizing compared to where you are at now, there's something to bringing awareness to that, how far you have come. Again, the end goal being that calm around food physically, calm around food mentally, calm around food mentally and being able to move on and live the livy way. I want to read a comment from Rhonda here.

Hi Rhonda, I have a quick question. I'm still in the winter program, but I'm just three pounds shy of my goal. I'm also a member of the maintenance, but haven't been in there yet. That's where you are now in the maintenance group. What are your thoughts? Do I join Monday, the next program or do I just jump right into maintenance? So I don't know the context here of how many programs you have done, but even though if you're new to the program and you are gotten close reaching your goal and you still have the whole rest of the program, you want to follow through

on the whole rest of the program. Even though you're done losing weight, you want to make sure you follow through on all of those steps and see it right through to the end. If you have done our weight loss program before and you've made it to the end and you remember personalizing the plan, then you can go right into maintenance, personalizing the plan. And then I would do sign up for our next maintenance program.

So right now we're four weeks into our maintenance program. And so you wouldn't wanna just jump out of weight loss into the maintenance program. So right now we're four weeks into our maintenance program and so you wouldn't want to just jump out of weight loss into the the maintenance program. You kind of want to start it from its beginning because although it's the same tweak wise the information and intention is completely different. That's what I that's what I would suggest. Just follow through on the weight loss program even though you're not looking to lose any more weight. It's all about intention. Go through all those steps. You want to learn what you need to learn about maintenance at the end of the program. And then I would sign up for the spring maintenance

program. That's what I would suggest. Yeah, I would suggest the same thing. I think if you're in the weight loss group now, that's still your focus. Like let's, let's just get, you know, you say you're three pounds away from your goal. That should 100% be your focus right now, right? Because you know maintenance will be here for you when you're ready. So yes, do that. Even if you could wake up, Rhonda could wake up next week

and those three pounds could be gone, follow through and finish off the rest of the program, like you said, in the weight loss group. Finish it through to the end. There's a satisfying feeling knowing that you've completed that program. Like, yes, I did this program right to the end, even though you may, you know, I'm at my goal. I don't need to lose any more weight.

It's about the completion of it. It's about seeing it through to the end. And then when you're ready, you're, you'll come and join us in maintenance and then that will be your focus. This, you know, solidifying with the maintenance program, that will be your focus. Yeah, because you can be done losing your weight, but not be done the mental stuff that you need to work through and finishing the rest of the weight loss program that will be your focus. Yeah, because you can be done losing your weight, but not be done the mental stuff that you need to work through and finishing the rest of the weight loss program

will help you with that, along with solidifying your weight along the way. So it's kind of like a win-win situation. I would totally finish your current weight loss program and then sign up for our next maintenance round and next maintenance program is going to be in April, the same date as our weight loss, new weight loss program is going to be in April, the same date as our weight loss, new weight loss program.

Yeah. And no time loss. Like it's not wasted time. If you feel, you know, when you feel like, oh, I've, I've hit my goal. Am I wasting my time here spending six more weeks in the weight loss program? Like, absolutely not. Because you're going to still learn about yourself. You're still going to, you know, go through these tweaks, go through the motions, go through learning and picking up things as you go. It's never wasted time to finish it off there. And then you'll come ready knowing that you've completed that and ready to move on. And ready to dive into the maintenance piece because it is different. It is different, which is why you don't want to be doing it halfway through.

Okay, did you listen to the conversation with Dr. Sandy Van today? Oh my gosh, did I? I think I listened to it two or three times. I think I listened to the 30, I listened to like around the 30 minute mark two or three times, and then I listened to the 40 minute mark two or three times because she was just so, I can't even think of a word. I mean, I'm never really that great with words, but I can't even think of a word, I mean, I'm never really that great with words, but I can't even think of a word to put to that conversation. She said so many amazing things that yes, she touched on the pharmacology behind weight loss drugs and the science behind weight loss drugs and the pros and the cons and when they're useful and when they might not be useful.

And she was so real about them. It wasn't like she was pro drugs or anti drugs. She was, had a real conversation. But she really got into the behavior behind sustained weight loss and the thought, you know, your thoughts when it comes to losing weight and weight loss and how impactful and important those are. And I think, you know, with the living method, whether you're in weight loss or maintenance,

that's what we talk about so much. It's your thoughts and how you talk to yourself and your belief system and the trust you have in yourself and the connection and the awareness that you have to have. And have that backed by her was just, I mean, we know that what we're putting out works. We know that what we're saying is the truth and to hear her say it. And I just hope that everybody had a chance to listen to that. And I did put the timestamp of the 30 minute and the 40 minute mark in there because it was such, it was so impactful. Yeah. Well, what I love about her is that she was, this is her field of expertise before the weight loss medications. And so the,

the cognitive behavioral therapy, the brain part of it, the mental part of it was her focus long before medications came about. And this was similar to the conversation that I had at the obesity conference a few years back where I said to one of the keynotes, I'm like, you keep talking about how it's so hard to change your brain and so hard to change the way your body's wired, but it is possible. Would you agree? And he's like, yeah, absolutely It's possible like your brain is made to change. You can absolutely change your habits He's just it's a lot of work and I can only help so many people and just like dr Sandy van can only see an unlimited number of people in her clinic

And so what I figured out how to do is help people on mass, help thousands of people by bringing on all of our incredible guest experts that share their knowledge. So you may not be getting the one-on-one time, but you have guest experts who know exactly what you are doing and then sharing their knowledge and expertise based on that.

It's not just a random conversation. So although it's not a one-on-one and personal to you, they know where you are at in the program, what you are focused on. They know the conversation that needs to be had, and they're sharing the tools that go along with it. It's fucking brilliant. Yeah, it was amazing. I was just looking for what I had written down here in my notes and she said, you know, whatever you choose to lose weight, whether it's, you know, with medications because they're needed or she even touched on, you know, surgery, bariatric surgery at the end of her conversation. And she said, none of that, those things, they will not change the way that you talk to yourself and they will not change how you think about yourself.

I think that's the piece that is so important is humanizing it a little bit, humanizing this weight loss journey that it's not just only a medication or only a surgery or only one diet fits all. You need to have a plan that is going to take that into account, your mental wellbeing, the way that you talk to yourself,

your belief system, all of that, that all comes into play. And I like that she said she's had people come in and she's like, you don't need this. This isn't for you because you have to do the work. Yeah. It doesn't mean that you get to take a pill or a shot or whatever and not do the work. You have to do the work.

And if you have no metabolic issues, if you are, it's just you're carrying excess weight because of past dieting or whatever you got going on, you got to do the work. You got to do the work. Yeah. And I love what she said too. Gosh, I mean, I could just talk about her whole conversation. I love what she said too. Um, about, should I just lost my train of thought? It was about, oh my goodness, it was going to be a good point too. I just looked at a note that if you, oh, sorry, that some of these medications are an option. So people come in to see her and they think,

well, it's an option, I might as well try it. And I think that is really this old diet dialogue and old diet mentality, like, oh, this is an option, it's gonna help me quick, I might as well try it, because I've tried everything else, because they don't think it's going to be work, they don't think it's going to, it's gonna be easy, it's just a weight loss drug,

of course I'm gonna take it, it's gonna work, but they don't realize that work is behind that, and it's still gonna be there. So it's an option that they feel like they have to try, even though it's not an option that they need to try. Well, look at the work that people have to do to lose their weight and maintain their weight here. It's a lot of work.

Yeah, it's a lot of work. It's a lot of work.

Okay, so what else do you want to say about the tweet this week? Yeah, so the other thing we, Dr. Sandy said, and it actually really resonates with me because I just read a member comment today. She said something about uncoupling and all of these behaviors that we do and we talk about them so much here in maintenance. So, taking care of yourself and your general wellbeing,

uncouple those behaviors and those actions from weight loss. Like you're doing these actions, you're drinking your water, you're moving your body, you're managing your stress, you're sleeping because it's good for you, because it is what you need to do to feel your best. It's not just for weight loss. So uncoupling that and this got me thinking about downsizing and we're not downsizing for weight loss at this point. We're downsizing to dig into those bigger issues. We're downsizing to shake things up, to get you off autopilot, to have you thinking that

you can do things when it's uncomfortable and when it's hard. So we want you to uncouple behaviors that we're doing, uncouple it from it being about weight loss. And we had a member, Darlene, I wanted to just bring her, this is a comment I read today in the group and I was like, oh, this is kind of exactly what is being talked about. So I find I'm still struggling with the scale.

I'm consistently five to seven pounds above my goal weight and I can't help but worry that means I'm slipping back. My clothes fit and I feel good overall with non-scale victories but I expected the weight to go back down while following the maintenance strategies. And so we're not here to this you know this we want to uncouple this from weight loss, right? The tweaks that we're doing now, the strategies that we're doing now, it's not about getting the scale to move. What she said in that comment,

there was so much good there, that she is feeling those non-scale victories. Her clothes still fit, she feels good, but she's still coupling what she's doing with weight loss. What she's doing with those behaviors that she's doing is getting her to this point of feeling good of her clothes fitting, of seeing those non-scale victories. And I just wanted like, if anybody is feeling that

in that same way, like, oh, I'm downsizing, I should see the scale move or I'm downsizing, I'm scared I'm going to lose more weight than I want to. You know, downsizing, let's take it away at this point from weight loss and think about all those other things that can come with it. Yeah. I mean, this is about intention, right? Let's forget that we didn't have a maintenance group and a maintenance program and people

just did another round of the weight loss program to solidify their weight, which was very effective. It was all about intention. Obviously, you didn't have to try as hard as you needed to in order to lose that weight. Like even talking three pounds, it can take someone like six weeks to lose three pounds, right? It seems like not a lot, but sometimes it can take someone quite a while to lose that. I think there's a couple of things. It's so normal for your weight to sit about five to seven pounds above. Right? And then I would go to,

well, what else has changed in your life? Right? Like, are you exercising more? Are you, do you have more stress in your life right now? Is your sleep being affected? Like, are there reasons like why your weight would be up? Are you eating bread now when you never ate bread before? Like, are you following the program,

but you're kind of off, so kind of not as diligent? Like, think about the intention and the intensity that you did the weight loss program, trying to see your lowest low every day. Are you showing up with that same kind of intention intensity when it comes to maintenance to try to see that lowest low every day? I mean, that's not the whole point. The point is to help your body adjust in a very low stress way to the weight that you've lost. And so I think it's all about intention. And you're right, like, this is maybe your why, like, what's your motivation, because it seems like you're caught still on that, that weight loss mindset, rather than on your maintenance mindset. And that's where you end up missing some key information

about where you're at, what's going on in your life, and what you need to focus on. Like, do you want to live a life where you're seeing your lowest low, right? And then maybe this is your point where I'm going through the maintenance program, and I'm expecting that I should be back to my lowest low. And if yeah, if you're maximizing

and you're doing all the things and I guess so, but if you're not, then why not? Like, why not? I first of all, I don't know that anyone wants to live like that beyond maintenance, but I can see your point. If I'm doing all these things on maintenance, how come my weight is still up? Well, then I would have a real good talk with yourself and being like, okay, how did I do the weight loss program versus my intention with the maintenance program? Was I getting to bed earlier? Was I making sure I move my body more? Was I really making an effort to? Are you really trying

as hard in maintenance as you did in weight loss when you you no longer have that satisfaction of chasing the scale? And and if you are, then what else is going on? What else is going on? Yeah, I think that's a valid point. What else is going on? What's her intention? Why is she trying to be at the lowest low? She said I have this fear that maybe I'm slipping back or maybe, you know, I'm going backwards here. And then that's that's different than not doing all the things like, you know, sitting in this place of fear, and not allowing yourself to that's almost holding you back from being able to do the work or being

able to see a new intention, because you're going to be stuck in the same intention of always trying to find that lowest low. And like you said, like, you know, is that really where you want to be? Or, you know, are we working to get to this place where that five to seven pounds really is your range, your normal? Like, is it, can we get away from seeing that number as the marker of success versus those other things that she said in her comment?

This is all about mindset, right? This is like your maintenance mindset. This is all about mindset, right? This is like your maintenance mindset. This is all about beyond when you're trying to lose weight, you're trying to get into maintenance when you're trying to get in maintenance where you're trying to get to, right that that that next stage and what is motivating you to show up and manage your stress and move your body and get your sleep and all of that. And that's thinking

beyond solidifying your weight is what kind of life do you want to live? How do you want to feel? And so everything is bigger, bigger picture, right? The weight loss program, it's bigger. It's so much bigger than weight loss and maintenance is so much bigger than maintenance. It's, it's, it's getting you into that next,

that then live your life, the Libby way, right? Just like knowing and trusting and living and being in tune. And so everything you're doing now is feeding into that. If you can think bigger picture that can help. Yeah, I think, you know, in the in the spirit of this conversation of this, you know, wanting to hit this midweek and be motivating. And I think for, you know, Darlene, I think this is exciting because she still has so much ahead of her that she can see, that she can accomplish, that she can get to. You know, if she's in this place where she's still a little bit fearful of slipping back, I think that there's so much growth still ahead for her. There's still so much that she can do.

And I think that's what that is what, you know, pulling from her comment. That's what I see there for her is that don't let this fear of slipping back hold you. See it as well, I still have. I'm not there yet. And I can still get there. Yeah, yeah, I can still get I see one of these other comments that you got. I want to get better at recognizing the difference between feeling satisfied and feeling full.

Right now, I kind of just stop eating, not because I notice a clear sign, but because I don't want to go beyond satisfaction. What I hear you saying is just keep practicing and it will click someday. Yeah, it's gotta be second nature. I mean, I've been doing this for 30 something years, right? I know what's in my fridge.

I can tell you what I want. Just kind of by the last time I opened my fridge. Yeah. If I'm hungry, I know exactly what I'm hungry for. If I'm eating my food, I know exactly. I don't have to eat my food to know when I'm gonna feel satisfied. If it's too much, not enough, any of those things.

That comes with practice and trust. Practice and trust, right? You know, it's it's one of those things I kind of just stopped eating not because I notice a clear sign But because I don't want to go beyond satisfaction I mean that could be one in the same like I know the minute if I take another bite I'm gonna end up being full. I know from side to side to full I know the exact minute whether you're on this side of that feeling or that side of this feeling, it's the same same but different.

Yeah, and I think, you know, she wants to get better at recognizing the difference. Like, of course she does, of course she wants to get better, you know, at it. And it takes time. It's, it's not about, you know, rushing the process. And you will get there and it will click. And I think I've referenced this a few times before because it was a member, I can't remember who said it, it was maybe two years ago and they said,

I was looking for that line in the sand. Yeah, I know. And then I knew I was there. And she said, when I realized that there was no line in the sand, that one day it would just be there, it was there. And I think that's what, you know, it's true, like our members in weight loss, they get there, right? They get there, but for some it takes 91 days, for some it takes, you know, 91 weeks. So it takes time.

And I think that's the same with maintenance. Like you will get there. There's no line in the sand, but through practice and through repetition and just through self-awareness and getting to know yourself, you'll be there. And I understand that feeling of, I want to get better at it. Of course you do. Of course you wanna get better at it.

And you will, it'll come. It's just not gonna be today probably. And food is just one area where you're focusing on that, like I am still working to be in tune to what works for me, what doesn't work for me, I'm still working to be more present in my life. I'm still working on being more self aware when something's bothering me really being aware that it's bothering you. What is it about that that bothering me? What's the message for me?

What's going on with me? I try to not to say what's wrong with me, what's going on with me. And it's really just big one lesson in self-love and self-awareness and really understanding what you need and the most basic level we should know what we need in terms of food. When to eat, what to eat and how much to eat.. And we've become so disconnected from ourselves. You were born in tune. It's just like a baby, right? Baby's hungry, it whines, it cries, you eat. Then what do we try to do to it?

We try to stuff it, jam it full, so it's fuller than it needs to be, so it sleeps longer, right? We get irritated when the baby cries and eats, and then maybe it's teething, and then pulls back, and it's f you know maybe it's teething and then pulls back and it's fussy and then but it's still hungry well the the poor kid's hungry but his teeth are hurting and you know what i mean so then like we just we try we just mess with our natural cues from the get um eat everything on your plate eat your broccoli because it's good for you oh you're

hungry you have to wait dinners in three hours then then you add dieting on top of that. And it's the way we've been living has been so disconnecting from ourselves, judging people counting, weighing, measuring all of that outside of ourselves. And this is just slowly bringing it all in. But you were born with this ability. This is this is this is who you are, and you're born with it. It's not something you are trying to do. It's something you inherently are made to do. And it's just a matter of getting in tune with it again.

Yeah. And we're gonna talk about this a little bit more next week too, not to get ahead of ourselves, but just building that confidence and building that confidence through consistency that you are going to get there. You know, you're going to build that feeling. It is going to click for you one day.

And your click might look different than my click. It would look different than Gina's click. Like our clicks are all a little bit different. But one day it's going to be like, okay, I get it. This is how it feels for me. This is what it looks like for me. And we say that a lot. It's what maintenance looks like and feels like for you because it's going to be a little bit different for me. This is what it looks like for me. And we say that a lot. It's what maintenance looks like and feels like for you, because it's going to be a little bit different for everybody. So I think, yeah, maybe when we say, you know, one day, it'll it'll just click and it will, but you're you it'll be your click and you'll you'll get it. And I think that click is going to come with a bit of trust and a bit of patience and a bit of doing the work.

And, you know, it'll come. It'll come, it'll come, don't worry. It'll come. Okay, that's our time for today. I do want to remind people, I want to just address Rhonda one more time. We have our next weight loss program. If you would have any friends or family who want to do it,

they can go to our website on Monday and pick it up for $74. So as you know, our prices went up to 99, but you can still get in on a deal for $74. We're giving you $25 off on Monday, that is going to be our lowest deal. Like you will not be able to pick it up any lower than that. We will not be having another sale that's lower. So if you have any friends and family who want to sign up, you can tell them to head to our website on Monday

Rhonda is is asking so she's she's in the current weight loss program and she's three pounds away from her goal She's wondering if she should sign up for the next weight loss program I I'm pretty confident Rhonda that you are going to reach your your goal weights by the end of the with this current weight Loss program or the weight loss program that you're in right now. I would just, once you've done that, you reach your goal, finish out the current weight loss program and then roll into maintenance, do the maintenance program. That's what I would do.

Can I just say for one second though on the heels of that, not about Rhonda, but about what you just said that we're giving $25 off. Can we just acknowledge why we're doing that? Because it's the 25th Living Method Weight Loss Group. It's the 25th Living Method Weight Loss Group. Gosh, that's why we're tired, I think. It is.

I can't even believe it. That's amazing. I mean, I've been around for a long time. I've been around for years, even before I I was, I've been around for a long time. I've been around for years, even before I worked here. I've been around for years and to know that this, the Livy Methodist is coming into its 25th weight loss group and it's amazing. So I just- It is amazing.

And we're just getting started. Yeah. We're just getting started around here. We're just getting started. Yeah. So to celebrate that we're doing $25 off the price. Yeah. This was great.

And I'm looking forward to Rhonda losing her three pounds and then being here with us and rocking with part of her journey and. Yeah, just commit to maintenance, Rhonda. Get her done, get her done. Finish out your weight loss program, get her done and then roll into maintenance with us here. We are next, our next maintenance program
