Hi Molly- and I would love to help you! Is 30 pounds by September realistic? It depends on where you are now and what shifts need to occus between now and then. We had someone lose 17 pounds on the 6 week beach body program in 6 weeks but I haven’t checked in with her to see where she is now. I know she wanted to lose more than 17 pounds total. Knowing you a bit and some of what you have done over the years, I think 30 pounds might be pushing it. Why not release the time line and say I know I can release 30 pounds. Work from that perspective so it doesn’t send you into rebellion. You don’t have to give up wine. I won’t

JJ, this is so great!
I realize that I have an overall goal, a big picture, but no real short-term plans to help me get there. Without that necessary step of planning, it’s just wishful thinking, which is what I can see has happened every time previously. Or, previously, I’ve had little milestones that I collapsed with the big goal, and was then left disappointed when I fell short of that…which led me to gain back the weight or stop the exercise. So, I find myself feeling afraid to even create any plan, because I can see that without little milestones along the way, I am setting myself up for failure…again. Also, by asking me/us/the reader the questions, it really puts the ball in our court and has me start to think, instead of just agree or disagree. I would love to lose 30 pounds by September…is that even a realistic goal? I think that losing 15-20 would be relatively simple (not easy, but simple) and attainable, and I can see that I currently don’t have the tools in place to support me. What do you recommend? I think most of all, I’d like to be a role model for my kids and family, but I won’t give up wine and I don’t know where to start. I am ready for help.
xo, Molly

Hi Renea
You might want to try Gluten Free for 2 weeks and see how you feel. I lost all cravings after going gluten free. Cravings are happening because there is a food sensitivity present. Your body craves what it is allergic or sensitive too. Check out http://www.alcat.com Consider getting tested- I am ! And for a list of gluten free foods, download my 30 Day JUMP Start program http://www.invisiblefitness.com

Great article, thank you. I am very interested in finding a diet that lowers my sugar intake. I currently have a sweet-tooth, and am finding it difficult to find meal plans, what to eat for snacks, etc. While diabetes is not something that runs in my family, I am still concerned and would like to be smart and take a proactive approach to my health.

You’re so funny Molly! I’d love you to be in the beta test group. Why haven’t you done the 6 Week Beach Body? The component of hypnosis is great for changing your MIND. Doing a detox is great but if it doesn’t help shift your relationship to food, there is mind work to be done. The Wine, Cheese and Chocolate Diet will be more about decadence and pleasure for sure but I am still trying to figure out how to balance the eating and drinking (ha!) with the mindset and exercise. What would you expect as an outcome? And would you be happy with 10 pounds? How long do you think the course should be? I am in design stage so I could use some feedback!

Hi JJ,
It’s a fabulous idea! One of the complaints I have about doing the detox are that I feel great when it’s done, but then I eat (cheese) and drink wine, and poof, the weight returns. Also, I spent a full year working out with a trainer, but didn’t really lose that much weight. Now, I’ve moved back to Ohio where I have a position I really LOVE, following my passion to change how we feed our kids and change how we educate them. It’s truly transforming how kids learn about sustainable agriculture and making wise food choices; we are helping kids combat obesity and get healthy without them even realizing it…but when it comes to my own weight/health/wellness goals, I feel uninspired and, well, fluffy. Now that it’s the dead of winter, it’s very challenging for me to do any kind of workout that’s not cost prohibitive. I am getting more into gluten-free foods and even bought the most awesome gluten & sugar-free cookbook called Babycakes by Erin McKenna…but still I need some help. If I lost 25 pounds or so, I would be at an optimal weight for me, and I know my energy and stamina would greatly improve; I’m tired of being tired and feeling fluffy. I want more pleasure…beta-test me, please, baby! : )
xxoo, Molly
