Starting point is 00:00:00 I'm Gina Livy and welcome to the Livy Method podcast. This is where you'll have access to all of the live streams from my 91 day weight loss program. With a combination of daily lives, guest expert interviews and member stories, there is something new almost every day. Miss the morning live? Want to re-listen to one of our amazing guest experts? Well, this is the place. This podcast is hosted on Acast, but it's available on all podcast platforms, including the one you're listening to right now, Spotify, Apple,
Starting point is 00:00:31 and Amazon Music. It is Maintenance Monday and welcome to Eminem Live, going live in our Maintenance and Mindfulness group. If you're just catching our podcast, uh, here on the living method podcast, you may be thinking what maintenance, what? Yes, we have a whole maintenance guide and program. Um, it's one of my favorite things to talk about because obviously the goal is not just to lose your weight, but to be able to do it in a way that you can maintain and sustain Lots to talk about in maintenance. Lots to talk about. I mean, people can lose their weight by doing our weight loss program, Easy Peasy Done. And then maintenance is where all the hard work comes in. Or maybe people struggle more in the weight loss part.
Starting point is 00:01:16 And then they get to maintenance. It's like, oh, I've arrived. Just like weight loss is a very individual and profound journey as is as is maintenance. So there are four stages to the living method, lose your weight with our weight loss program, solidify your weight with our maintenance program, spend some time in maintenance, testing the waters, trying to understand what maintenance looks like and feels like to you. This is where you might start to indulge. Maybe you're not weighing yourself anymore. You're starting to let go of some of the things that you needed to do to lose your weight, to solidify your
Starting point is 00:01:51 weight. And now you're just focused more on living your life. And then there's just living your life, living the living way, taking what you've learned, reinforcing all your new habits that support your new lifestyle and whatnot. If you are joining me live, be sure to let me know if you have any questions. Odette, who is our manager of our maintenance program, has sent me some questions, wants me to remind you that Dr. Ruth Kane still has some spots open to register for your one-on-one. If you have been in maintenance for over a year. She wants to hear from you. She also wants me to remind you that our menopause add-on is starting today. This is going to be an area and an opportunity to talk more in depth about menopause, perimenopause, menopause, post-menopause, and weight loss, but I think a
Starting point is 00:02:38 lot of still valuable information, even if you've already lost your weight. We're going to break it down in the way that we break down all of our information. We're going to continue to have some incredible guests joining us. We have some new guests that we've added to our incredible guest roster as well. If you'd like more information on that, you can head over to our website, GinaLivey.com. Okay. She wants me to remind you that when you can't maximize all the things, optimize the areas that you can. It's the beginning of a whole new week. So if you are solidifying your weight, doing our maintenance program, we are feeding the metabolism this week. So splitting up the meals and snacks. What does that mean when you're no longer looking to lose weight. It's about getting back in tune to your portions even when you are maintaining your weight. You also don't want to forget
Starting point is 00:03:29 about the maximizing conversation. All the other things you can do, not just to be proactive in weight loss, not just to be proactive in maintenance, but for your health and wellness, managing your stress and moving your body and trying to get the best quality sleep, checking in with your healthcare providers, staying on top of your health and your wellness.
Starting point is 00:03:48 So feeding the metabolism this week, doubling down on mindfulness, even more opportunities to practice that as you split up your meals and snacks. Remember the whole point of asking those four mindful eating questions is so that when you are done losing your weight, solidifying your weight, maintaining your weight, and you are just living your life, you've asked them so many times that you can just trust when to eat, what to eat, and how much to eat. That's the whole point of that. Also this week, feeding the metabolism is also about forcing yourself somewhat to prioritize yourself and your time, take some time for yourself. Feelings of guilt and selfishness can pop up as you take time from other things to focus on you.
Starting point is 00:04:32 When we are losing weight, we tend to be like, okay, I'm focused on reaching this goal. You are making time for yourself and you feel like, okay, I've reached my goal. That's enough. Back to, you know, prioritizing everyone and everything else in front of my needs. So this is a reminder that is still your life to live. And it is still up to you to make sure that you are making space and time for you. And it is your job to take care of you. And if you are not taking time to take care of you, it means at some point, someone else will have to take care of you. It's just as important now as it, you know, and we'll continue to be moving forward. Okay, so I got some, hi, Jessica. Hi, Judy. Hi, Robert. I got some questions here from Tracy. I'd like to hear your thoughts on free food.
Starting point is 00:05:24 I don't even know what that means. Volunteering recently and oh, I see like free food, like someone's offering you free food, like free drinks. That's a hard one for me right now. Volunteering recently, I went to have a cup of tea in the break room only to find a table full of goodies. Okay, ate my fruit snack, but then chose a cookie and a few dates. But I wasn't hungry for those goodies. It was free food on offer and it triggered me that FOMO response. This has happened to me four times in the past 10 days. I'm retired now and volunteering more. Would like suggestions to change the dialogue in my head when I come across free food. Nothing is free in life. You're going to pay for it somehow, some way. That's the first thing that
Starting point is 00:06:08 came to mind. Wow, this is really interesting. So first of all, we have to recognize that most of us are lucky enough to not have food shortages, that food scarcity isn't a reality in our lives. Most of us can go into our kitchen, open up our cupboards, open up our fridge and find food there for us. I love, you know, the option. I love when people offer food, like food can be a love language for some people. And that's their way of showing they care. That's their way of giving.
Starting point is 00:06:40 That's their way of supporting. That's their way of adding value. And I think that's really great that there is food accessible for you. It's important that we take time to nourish ourselves. The FOMO part is interesting because what are you missing out on? Like, you know what that food tastes like. You've already had it before. You could probably go and get it for yourself.
Starting point is 00:07:07 So what is that FOMO about? And I love that you recognize you're triggered by that. Now, you don't have to solve this issue tomorrow. You can do some, you know, like internalize, figure out what's going on there. That might take you some time to sit in a nice quiet space and ask yourself, what is that about? Why do I feel the need to, to, to reach for that food? What you might want to start with is just taking the food and then maybe, you know, putting a little snacky in your purse and taking it home. So you feel like you can take part in the food. And then, you know, chances are when you get home, you can just, you know, put it back in the cupboard or, you know, put it in your fridge, or maybe someone in your house will eat
Starting point is 00:07:49 it. That way, you're at least just dealing with not eating it right now. The other is the fact that I love that you're aware that you're doing this and what's happening. So you take it, you're probably aware that you're taking it, you're probably aware you're not hungry for it. And then you're eating it. And you're, you're, you're probably aware why you're taking it, you're probably aware you're not hungry for it. And then you're eating it. And you're, you're, you're probably aware why you're eating it. Why am I eating this? I'm not hungry for it, but I'm eating it anyway. And then after you ate it, you're probably aware of I ate that even though I didn't need it. I now regret it. Why did I do that? Right? There's a whole, like, there's a whole story that comes afterwards. So if you're picking up on that, that's huge. That's huge. So what you're now doing is rewiring how your brain is connected to free
Starting point is 00:08:35 food, because that's obviously a trigger for you that you're recognizing. Now, you might continue to do that. So you said you've done it four times. Now that you've put it out here, you've said it out loud, you're recognizing that you're doing this, it's going to get to a point that you're like, if you keep doing it, it's, you're going to keep recognizing you're doing it. And at some point, you have to recognize, this isn't working for me. I don't really need to do this. This is not really serving me serving me right now. But are your issues or association tied into what's happening can run pretty deep. So you're I think you're already unraveling what's happening here. You're like, maybe you're on the surface of it. And you know,
Starting point is 00:09:18 you can actively take action to think on what is going on here to start getting deeper into it. And then time, the more you encountered this situation, and you are actually showing up mindful in the moment, thoughtful, you're going to deal with it. The other thing is, is really this is where you can ask the four mindful eating questions. Am I even hungry for this? Right? How am I going to feel if I eat this? No. And then when you are eating it, how am I feel like maybe you will take it and you'll eat it, but you'll catch yourself having a few bites and not finishing it. So it's what I guess what I'm getting at is it's really depends individually on what you have going on. And there's no there's no right or wrong way to handle this. It's all about processing what is happening. You're already understanding, okay, I'm doing this. So that's really the first step at the end of the day. Would like suggestions to
Starting point is 00:10:16 change the dialogue in my head when I come across access to free food. So this also brings us back to Dr. Beverly, capture, cancel, correct. Capture is like, oh, I'm doing this, right? Capture, like capture, oh, I'm doing this. Cancel it. I don't actually need this food. I actually don't even want this food. And then correct it, right? Like I've eaten my nutrient-rich foods today.
Starting point is 00:10:44 I know I'm not going to feel great if I eat this. I have my next snack coming down the pipeline. This is I'm recognizing this is a trigger for me. Yay, good on me for recognizing that, right? So hopefully that helps. Hopefully that helps. Hi, Patty, I had a co worker who was always pushing me to get food. When it was at the office, she would put it in her desk drawer. I just said, I will get some later. And if it's gone, it's gone. Yeah. I mean, there are legit food pushers who will like, there's a lot of food pushers out there who will, who, who get off on or enjoy for lack of a better word, uh, making food for other people, but don't actually eat it themselves. And they, they're like, they're pushing it on you right here. Have some, you have a donut, come on, you're no fun, just have one, right? Like, that's how you how you'll know they're
Starting point is 00:11:29 a bit of a food pusher when they start attaching guilt to it, or, you know, trying to convince you why you should have it or they're bothered by the fact that you're not having it. I don't give a fuck if anyone eats or doesn't eat food that I've made it for them. I've enjoyed that. I don't give a fuck if anyone eats or doesn't eat food that I've made it for them. I've enjoyed that. I don't care if you eat it or don't eat it. I'm not going to say to you, come on, you're no fun. Why aren't you having it? No, take it, leave it.
Starting point is 00:11:54 I made it. My enjoyment part of it. I've done my deal. Whether you eat it, you don't eat it, you enjoy it, you don't like it. That's, I mean, that's on you and your experience at the end of the day. But there are people who are food pushers and don't recognize that they are food pushers. And then what you say to yourself or say to other people is really what you're saying to yourself, right? And this is where thank you very much. Oh my gosh, this looks amazing. I'm not hungry
Starting point is 00:12:18 right now. Maybe I will be later if I miss out. That's okay. You know, that means someone else gets to enjoy it. Like the things that you are saying, putting out there verbally are the things that you are saying to yourself. And that, that shit really matters at the end of the day. So I love that you do that. A lot easier said than done though. A lot easier said than done. Now this is little where little, you know, where you could just be like, Oh, thanks for the donut, Sally. Like I will, you know, I'm going to take it home. I'll, you know, I'll save it for later. Sometimes you can appease food pushers without getting into conversations with them by just taking the thing. And then that doesn't mean that you have to eat
Starting point is 00:12:54 the thing. If that's all they want you to do is just take it. Oh, I'll just take it. I'll save it for later. Thank you very much. Then maybe you can offer it to someone else or give it like I do give it to my kids or whatever. Right. Here's the next one from Kathy. I love what a member said the other day when she was featured talking with Gina, I think with Stacey. Yes. Stacey Naiman, down 100 pounds on the program. She was a whole vibe.
Starting point is 00:13:16 She was a baker and had 100 pound weight loss. Gina asked, how do you not eat all the delicious baked goods? She said, I know what it tastes like. I have used that mantra a few times now. I don't need the cookie, Halloween candy, cake. I know what it tastes like. Kathy, let me tell you, I did this the other day with Tony, had some, because I'm really on a mission to just eat healthy,
Starting point is 00:13:37 take care of myself, prioritize my health and wellness. I'm feeling freaking fantastic. I'm getting my 10,000 steps in every day. I I'm six weeks alcohol free. Um, I am making an effort to not eat anything that doesn't serve me following my own program, basically feeling amazing. Uh, I am truly feeling amazing. Um, Tony was in bed the other night, um, out a massive, gigantic bag of dill pickle chips. One of my favorites. I have sour cream and onion ruffles are my favorite. Dill pickle lays are my probably my second favorite. And he pulled them out and I had just spoken to Stacey
Starting point is 00:14:19 that day. And I said to myself, yeah, you know what? And Tony's like, is this okay? I'm like, you know what? It's okay. I already know what those taste like. I'm just thinking about dill pickle chips right now. My tongue is all like dry and salty. My mouth is watering. I didn't, and I was like, huh? I remember I was walking to the bathroom when, when, when I said that's okay. I already know what they taste like. I was like, I stopped in my truck. So I was like, that seems like such a simple concept. I already know what it tastes like. I was like floored. I was like, wow. Um, if you miss that conversation with Stacy, it's available on our way in Machina podcast. I believe we're putting all of our guest segments over on our way in Machina podcast. It might also be on the living method podcast.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Um, you can search it up. She was our, our, uh, real people, uh, real journey conversation from last week. She's a whole vibe, her whole attitude, her whole outlook, a really interesting, fascinating story for sure. But it reminded me of Dr. Beverly. I don't know if you were around when Dr. Beverly, um, was talking sleep, the psychology behind sleep. And she said, don't, just don't try to sleep. And I thought she was so full of shit. I was like, what the
Starting point is 00:15:30 fuck is she saying? Just don't try to sleep. And it turns out she was quite right. You know, I go to bed and I'm stressed over sleeping. And I was like, okay, let me just try to not sleep. And it worked. Very simple concept. Very simple concept. I thought that was great. And yes, you're right. You're a grown up. Halloween is coming. You know what the Halloween candy tastes like. You know how you feel afterwards. You know what happens in your head after you have it. Like it's really just taking a second. That's what mindfulness is, right? But you have to practice the art of mindfulness. It always bugs me when there's like intuitive eating people out there and they're like, Oh, just take a minute and think
Starting point is 00:16:09 about how you're going to feel if you eat the thing. Well, that just takes practice. When you're coming off dieting forever, you're disconnected from yourself. There has to be a pathway forward to get reconnected. But after doing the weight loss program and being in maintenance, you have this power where you just take a minute and be like, okay, I'm going to let myself have this, but do I really want it? Like I can have this if I want. I'm a grownup. It's not going to cause me to gain my weight back. Like I can have it, but do I really want it? I know what it tastes like. I know how I'm going to feel afterwards. Do I, I mean, this is where you have, you can, you now have the knowledge and the skills, the wherewithal and dare I say the power, I don't want to say control, the power of intuition, the power of being in tune to know
Starting point is 00:16:56 how you're going to feel before you even have that. Right. And it's just a matter of taking the time to do that. Sometimes I think we do this. We don't want to take the time and we're just like, I'm going to eat it. I'm going to have it. And then we take our hand away and then we deal with that aftermath. Why did I do that? Oh my God. I feel like shit. Halloween is coming. Tony does this every night. He's got all the Halloween candy that's been coming to our house. We're having a big Halloween party and we've got kids coming. So we got a lot of candy in our house, which is all literally right beside on Tony's side of the bed. Every night, pulls it out, eats it every night, complains he's eaten too much every night. That's gone on for weeks.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Every night. I just let him like, okay. Every night, it's the same thing. I don't know. Are you going to learn? I don't know. Maybe he doesn't want to. Maybe he's like, fuck it. I don't care. Maybe he's making a conscious choice. He's like happy that he's having it, even though he's expressing, he recognizes how he feels. He's good with that. He's good with that. I asked my, hi, Karen. I asked my husband not to offer me chips. I love chips. I told him I'm okay if he eats them. Just don't offer, offer me any as I will take them and I don't want them. You know what? This is valid. I get this too, because, um, it's hard, right? It's hard. And sometimes Tony will be like, Hey, you want this? And I'm like, because before when he's eating it, I'm like, I don't want any of that. But then when he's like, do you want some?
Starting point is 00:18:19 And I'm just like, Oh, then it's like, yeah, you're fucking right. I do. Of course I want them. Yeah, I want them. Yes, I want them. But I really don't. Of course I do. If you ask me, yes, I want them. And this is where I got to take a minute and be like, do I actually like deep down inside? Like, I don't want to say need them. Do I need to have them? Is my want of having them feeding into the dopamine hit? I get to have the treat or is it that I actually want the chips that I know as soon as I'm done eating them, I'm not going to feel good. Right? So a lot of times that dopamine hits that dope. I'm right there with you on that. Sometimes we need that. I have, I have used Tony in a variety of circumstances where I say, can you remind me? So I don't put the onus on him or the accountability on him. I'm just like,
Starting point is 00:19:11 can you remind me, especially like alcohol, for example, like, can you just remind me that I don't want to drink that? For example, we went golfing yesterday and it was cold and he drives so I can drink. Normally I'd have like a Caesar or a beer or something like that. And I was like, do you have anything warm to drink? And she's like, oh, I have coffee. And she's like, and I have like Baileys. And I'm just like, oh, do you know? And I look at Tony and you know, he looks at me and I'm just like, okay, just like remind me. I don't want to drink and I'm just like, okay, just like, remind me, I don't want to drink. I'm not drinking here. Like sometimes I need a bit of a,
Starting point is 00:19:49 you remind me. But also I do that before I know I'm in the situation, right? Like if I'm going out to, if I'm going out and I know I'm going to be tempted, I will say to him, if you, if you see me, can you please remind me that I, this is not what I want? I'm making the conscious decision right now before I find myself in the environment of free food, of free alcohol, whatever that is, that I'm not interested in that. Because sometimes if you don't make that conscious choice, it's a little bit harder. All right. I have time for another one here, Sandra. I've been maintaining my goal within one to three pounds for a year now.
Starting point is 00:20:21 I love that, but really struggling lately and letting old habits and thoughts sneak back in. Okay. Need to refocus and get back on track, both in my food choices and in my thoughts. Okay. Intention this week is to do just that, refocus, get myself back on the right track. Remind myself often how good I feel when I make good choices and how terrible I feel when I don't. Okay. This is a whole vibe. I love this, but let's get back to why are you struggling lately? What is going on? What is triggering you? What's happening in your environment? What is happening in your life? Let's normalize this. So I have been able to maintain my weight for 30 years, give or take 10 pounds. This was fairly easily. There would be moments in my life where my weight would go up when I first started dating
Starting point is 00:21:12 Tony and we were eating all the time and he had all these snacks and I was drinking wine and whatever. I didn't give a fuck because I was just so happy. Then I noticed my weight coming on. I thought, whoa, okay, I need to like rein it in here, honey. And then I was like, got to get back to, you know, where, you know, um, there was a time when I moved into a house on the lake and this is where my permanent residence was, but I was drinking Corona every day cause I was living on the lake and it felt like I was constantly on vacation and holiday. And I thought, okay, what
Starting point is 00:21:39 is my tummy? What is going on? Okay. Gina, this is your life. You don't need to be drinking Corona all day, every day, just because you live on a lake. Um, there have been more stressful periods of my life. There have been times where I have been on a massive, let's get healthy tip and I'm exercising and mindful things are moving and grooving. And my weight is at the lower end of my weight. So my weight range usually is like one 20 to one 30. That's sort of where I float back and forth. This is where it's higher for, you know, some periods of time, it's lower other periods of time, it's usually higher in the summer, my body's really reactive to the heat, retaining water. I love chips with dehydration is a recipe for my weight going up plus the heat. I'm out in the sun,
Starting point is 00:22:24 you know, I don't like air conditioning. And so your body swells. Then there's the lower end of that back in the fall when I'm like motivated to start feeling good again, you know, recover from the summer weight is down. Then there's maybe the holiday season where I'm back to drinking and things and stress is getting me. And then it comes back down, you know, so this is normal. This is normal. So you're going to hit that lowest low unless you're living a life to try to see your lowest low every day, which most of us aren't, you're going to notice those fluctuations on the scale. Then a couple years ago, you guys know, I went through some health issues that I had lost a lot of weight. And then by the time my hormones started, I started really feeling my
Starting point is 00:23:03 hormones through menopause. My and add the stress, my weight went started, I started really feeling my hormones through menopause and add the stress. My weight went up. I feel like I gained like 20 pounds in a month. And it's taken some time to get right back down again. So what is going on? My point is, what is going on in your life? So there's like, there's seasons, right? There's seasons, like we run a seasonal program.
Starting point is 00:23:22 There are seasons of your life. Some moments in your life are more stressful than others and certain times of year are more stressful than others. Like, did you have a traumatic event that happened around this time? And even subconsciously, those feelings are bubbling to the surface, which are, you know, getting in the way and you're letting, you're falling back into old habits, falling back into old minds. You're basically being pulled back in time to how you felt when you were struggling or dealing with the things that you were dealing with. That happens a lot. There are some very big triggering things that happen in our lives that are very, you
Starting point is 00:24:00 know, cyclical in a sense that they keep popping up at the same time each year. Do you have a job that is particularly stressful? Are you starting to feel now that we are getting over the hump at the start of the fall, you can feel the holidays coming? Are you triggered by people starting to talk about Christmas financially? That can be very stressful. Emotionally, being around family can be very stressful. It can be a very triggering
Starting point is 00:24:26 time of year. And maybe you're in tune and you're subconsciously picking up on that. Where are you at? Did someone say something that's triggering you? Are you sabotaging yourself? Are you living a life like you're expecting the shoe to drop? Have you gone this long before having lost your weight? And then this is where you started expecting the shoe to drop? Have you gone this long before having lost your weight? And then this is where you started to gain that weight back. Like what's the story? What's the underlying issue right now? Right? So that's where you want to take a look at it. I love that you're refocusing. I love that you're getting back on track. I love all of that, but chances are whatever you are dealing with, that's causing you to fall back into those old habits is going to keep happening until you get to the bottom of why it's happening. And so
Starting point is 00:25:10 that's where you want to take that opportunity and be like, okay, what's going on here? Why am I struggling? Like define, put a word to defining the struggle. Sometimes when we talk about it out loud, or when we hold it in, it's kind of like one is perpetuating it and one is dismissing it, right? And when you hold it in, that's where it turns into physical. And when you put it out there in the world, it can like, when you're constantly talking about it, it can perpetuate it. So you need to actually like sit with it and be like, what is this about? Let me take some time and be like, okay, what, what exactly am I, if I could define the word to use how I feel or what I'm struggling with, what is, what is it exactly? What, what is it? If I, if I actually just take some time with it,
Starting point is 00:25:54 why am I falling back into old habits? How would I define what's a word I would use for the feelings that I'm having and try to try to best define it. Now, you could also use the Dr. Beverly cognitive behavioral therapy model, like is it emotional? Is it physical? Is it behavioral? What exactly like what's going on here, right? It could be something as simple as it's the fall, it's colder, it's not as easy to get your water in. So your dehydration levels are dropping, your hydration levels are dropping. So you're craving carbs and sugar. It could be that you are a little bit stressed with what you got going on in your life. And so you're also craving salty foods. So it could be that you could also maybe you started
Starting point is 00:26:40 a workout and the workout's making you hungrier.
