8 Strategies for Losing Weight Without Losing Your Mind
Old approaches no longer would work….
As I turned the corner into a new season in my life, I no longer had my same schedule and I knew I had to escape from being boxed into a diet prison. Weighing, measuring and tracking every morsel of food I was eating, or being on the rollercoaster of on a diet, off a diet, were taking their toll in a life that was already a rollercoaster.
I had to find a way to let perfection go, but still be in charge. I had to find a way to never have to start over again. I had to find an eating style that would work now that I lived near my daughter and her children and would be enjoying many many family meals together. I had to wake up every morning with a goal and a strategy to get me through the day.
The New Season in my life…
The new season in my life happened in a split second with my husband’s sudden aortic aneurism in 2018. He miraculously survived, throwing us both into immediate and unplanned retirement.
It turned out it was the best thing that ever happened to us (after the shock wore off). We sold our home and moved to within a mile of my daughter, which, lucky for us, was also a mile’s walk to the beach. (Hence all my references to “navigating the waters”!)
It was mostly a happy time because my husband survived without complications, we were living near my daughter and by the beach, I didn’t have 3 hours of commuting every day, and well, it was nice.
How this course came about…
I had to scramble and find a whole new strategy for eating and not gaining weight. I also had to find a way to continue on my weight loss journey. I had to do it without frenzy, craziness, or unsustainable diets. And that’s how the content for this course, 8 Strategies for Losing Weight Without Losing Your Mind, came about. The added bonus to this course was writing about something I love and did for so many years - belly dancing! I took my teaching and performance strategies and turned dance lessons into “plate lessons”. I hope you enjoy the excursion as much as I have!
I wrote this course to get you to important goals that you need for success. As I have been promising you, you can lose weight without losing your mind. Never have to start over again, and have confidence that the Land of Good Enough IS good enough!

The gift of any eating plan is that it is empowering because EMPOWERING means CHOICE. This module explore choices.
2. Next Best Choices: Embrace Imperfection and Banish Shame

There will always be parties, eating out, vacations, and “life happens” sorts of situations. Never be worried about any of them again.
3. Home Base & Course Correction: Never Start Over
Make home base as “safe” as possible with the foods you want to have and enjoy. Have meals ready and foods you like.
Learn about course correction and divide your day into quarters. Going off plan at lunch does not mean you have to “blow” dinner or that you have to be stricter the next day.
A safe home base and learning to course correct means that you NEVER have to start over again no matter what happens.
4. Goal-Setting Mastery: Realistic Pathways to Your Dreams
Learn to set realistic and achievable goals. This module gives you several ways to do this that take you beyond just writing things down.

You will build confidence in your choices, know when you have had enough, and maintain a balanced relationship with food.
6. Transforming Reactions to Cravings and Triggers
Learn strategies for acknowledging and embracing cravings. You will always have them but you can change your reaction.

Learn practical strategies for breaking your automatic response to cravings, urges, and triggers using mindfulness to help you.
7. Keeping a Successful Food Journal
Maintaining a food journal encourages heightened awareness of your eating patterns and habits. Gain valuable insight into your relationship with food.
Armed with this information you can take concrete steps to modify your eating behaviors and perhaps the foods themselves. Learn to use this tool the best way.
Over time, your food journal becomes a record of your journey. Learn to align your food journal with your weight loss goals - not by using food measurements - but by building awareness.
8. Change Your Mindset - Change Your Life
Learn to recognize the influence of self-talk on thoughts and behaviors, and the connection to self-esteem and weight loss. Catch yourself in the negative loops.
Explore the concept of affirmations and how to create and use them. Learn guidelines for crafting powerful and personalized affirmations and how to implement them in daily life.
Self-compassion and self-forgiveness are the secret sauce to your lasting success. Let go of judgment and shame and move on. Nothing good can come from hating yourself.
Bonus : Transform Dance Lessons into “Plate Lessons” - Enjoy Your Plan
Living an eating plan absolutely should not mean the drudgery of weighing, measuring, and tracking every morsel that goes into your mouth.
With over 30 years of experience as a belly dancer and teacher, I have learned how to use the metaphor of dancing to bring success to your eating plan.
Learn to make your eating style something that you can live with, dance with, and enjoy without effort. If you can’t then go back to Module 1 and explore other eating styles!
