Understanding the C-T-F-A-R Model for Weight Loss in Menopause

What if I told you the reason you can’t lose weight has nothing to do with what you’re eating? I’m getting close to episode 500, and I wanted to share something that can help you immediately.

In this episode, I break down the self-coaching model I use with all my clients. I explain how circumstances, thoughts, feelings, actions, and results work together to create your eating patterns. I share personal examples, like believing I couldn’t work out in the rain, and how I discovered my thoughts were creating my limitations, not the weather itself. I walk you through how nighttime eating happens when your brain tells you “I need something sweet” even though you’re not hungry. This model shows you where you actually have control in your life and where you don’t.

If you want to understand what’s really driving your eating, this episode will give you a clear framework to figure out what’s happening. Enjoy the show!
