Welcome to the Confident Body Podcast where we talk about all the mental and emotional parts of weight loss that diets don’t tell you. I spent most of my life feeling self-conscious about my body, looking for the next diet, or wishing I could just lose a few pounds. After feeling massive imposter syndrome teaching fitness, I began to wonder if there was more to feeling great than just nutrition and exercise. I realized that feeling confident in your skin is more about what’s between your ears than what’s on your plate. I began to understand how diets go against the way your brain is naturally wired and how diets make it so hard to lose weight long term. I learned specific strategies and tools to work WITH my brain to lose weight for good and finally feel confident in my body. And you can too. If you want to look in the mirror and see what’s RIGHT about you…Learn solutions that are easy and fit your busy life…Find out how to train your brain for weight loss…and love yourself and your body all the way down the scale, then let’s go. lizzie@confidentbody.coach www.confidentbody.coach www.confidentbody.coach/tipsCopyright 2022-2023 All rights reserved.

  • Listen Again: The Puzzle Perspective: Unlocking the Weight Loss Code
    Sep 3 2025

    Have you ever felt like losing weight is like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded? The struggle is real, right? It's not just the simple formula that diets try to tell us it is. It's an emotional rollercoaster filled with frustration, self-doubt, and - let’s be honest - the occasional forbidden love affair with a pint of ice cream.

    But what if it didn’t have to be that way? Instead of a tortuous grind, what if it could be thought provoking game?

    Picture this: You, with a magnifying glass, examining your weight loss journey like a fascinating puzzle rather than a daunting problem.

    Here’s a question: What if, instead of blaming ourselves for every little hiccup in our fitness routine, we approached weight loss with curiosity and a beginner's mind?

    In this episode, we’re talking about how a book that has nothing to do with weight loss can inspire you to think about weight loss in a whole new way. And if there’s nothing else that you get from this episode, there are 4 words that map out the repeatable process you can use to turn your weight loss experience around from painful to puzzling. From shaming and blaming to wondering and learning.

    So, are you ready to ditch the shame, put on your science goggles, and approach weight loss like a puzzle instead of a pain the petunias?

    That’s right. Strap in cuz it’s time to get our learning on!

    Let’s go!

  • Explaining Why You Can Know WHAT To Do and Not Do It
    Aug 27 2025

    How many times have you thought to yourself “I know WHAT to do to lose weight, I just have a hard time actually doing it.”? That question used to drive me crazy. I mean how many diet books and weight loss programs does it take to learn the WHAT to do to lose weight?

    You’re great at learning. You can probably recite the steps and the macros and the points by heart.

    And yet, when it comes to implementation, when the rubber meets the road on consistency….why is it so hard to do it?

    That is exactly what we’re talking about today.

    We’re not covering the surface stuff today. We're not talking about tactics or strategies.

    We’re going deeper. Deep into the recesses of your brain. We're talking about the nervous system of weight loss success.

    I'll be honest. You can know all the tactics and all the strategies and still not lose weight. And that’s because you haven’t created a mental environment for your nervous system to LET you implement all those things you “know” to do.

    In this episode, we’ll cover:

    • how your brain is wired for safety
    • how stress hijacks your decision-making
    • and how to get all three parts of your brain on the same team…
    • as well as how to stop fighting yourself and finally start working with your wiring.

    So, are you ready to silence the self-sabotage, break free from burnout, and finally figure out how to implement the actions that lead to success?

    Let’s go!

  • How To Stop Losing and Gaining the Same 5 Pounds
    Aug 20 2025

    Have you ever stepped on the scale, seen the number go down, and thought, “Woohoo! I earned this!” …only to eat a little more, step back on the scale, and wonder, “Wait, what just happened?”

    Or maybe you’ve asked yourself: How do I actually know when I’ve had enough food? And why is it so easy to overshoot and end up feeling too full?

    If these thoughts sound familiar, you’re not alone. Today, we’re unpacking why it’s so hard to break free from diet mentality, even when you think you already have.

    We’ll cover the subtle but game-changing difference between “full” and “enough,” and how to use your body’s hunger signals as a guide to losing weight without obsession, as well as how to build a new normal around food that feels sustainable.

    So, are you ready to get curious and learn how to listen to your body instead of the scale? Let’s dive in!
