Re publishing this episode as it's one of the most impactful concepts of my coaching.

Inevitably we know that that is all we ever can do - yet we still hold ourselves to these unrealistic expectations and trip ourselves up.  @ESGfitness ⁠ESGfitness.co.uk

Ep. 498 - *weird email question* & a fundamental skill you need to lose fat

Last week I was asked this question in my email: 'Hi Emma!! I hope you’ve been well! Weird question for you. I hear all the time from weight loss/fitness coaches that just because the scale goes up a pound, doesn’t mean you’ve gained fat. Because you’d “have to be eating 3500 calories OVER your maintenance”… But what is happening in the body then when the scale does creep up and doesn’t go back down? No way am I ever eating that many more calories above my maintenance over one, two or even three days. But “weight creep” still happens. And I’m sure that’s how it happens for everyone, right?! Is it just because you aren’t building or maintaining enough muscle or something? It’s the one piece of weight gain logic that really confuses me and I feel like I’m experiencing it currently. I’m thinking of trying the commit to 6 to get back into the right mindset around this whole thing.'

Hannah is back and we chat about things we have found interesting this month. I LOVE these conversations and it is absolute honour to get to tap into such an incredible brain so I think it’s selfish not to share with you all. Topics this month: 1) Are you an introvert or do you just struggle to be yourself around others? 2) The arrival fallacy and how to use it to your advantage 3) Cognitive biases and how understanding them helps you understand yourself and others. 4) Dopamine responses - including eating disorder and obesity stigma and much more! Enjoy! @ESGfitness ESGfitness.co.uk

Ep. 194 - Sunk Costs

Today's episode is on the sunk cost fallacy. Sunk cost is the tendency to plow more resources into continuing in the wrong direction because of your initial investment in time, money, effort. It’s staying in a loveless marriage because you’ve been married for 10 years. Continuing to walk in the wrong direction because you’ve already walked 2 miles that way even though you are going the WRONG WAY. Putting more money into a failing business because of your initial investment. I also discuss how you can channel this into using sunk cost to your benefit. @ESGfitness www.ESGfitness.co.uk

Ep. 143 - unpopular truth: You're not over worked

Harsh truth time.. You’re not burnt out because you are working too hard. It’s the not setting boundaries, not coming off social media and doing low level, low productivity work constantly that is burning you out. You aren’t working too hard you are working for too long with zero out put. You’re ‘working’ all the time but you never actually focus and quite frankly your productivity is shit. It is like trying to build muscle by doing 100s of body weight squats rather than actually lifting some weight and creating an adequate stimulus for growth… and then resting and recovering so that growth can occur. The idea behind rest, recovery and adaptation is that you are able to come back and work harder.. not that you work less hard. It is easy to fall into the trap of long hours and achieving very little. But you feel like you’re hustling because you’ve been on your laptop from 6am to 11pm. This is almost bred into us given how we are usually paid - for time not productivity. Sure, you might be burnt out but it’s not because you’re working too hard. And anyway, it’s not really about working harder, I am not telling you that you need to work harder… it’s about working smarter. - Make a plan - Set time - Set boundaries - Turn off the internet - Have defined tasks/ a to do list & do some focused work without distractions. You will be amazed how much you get done in an hour if you turn your phone/the internet off and actually focus. That way you will get more and higher quality work done AND have time to switch off/ relax. I would love to know what you think: @ESGfitness

Ep. 129 - Diet V Anti diet

I often like to frame fat as something you have NOT something you are. Today I discuss why I will continue to do that. And why both diet culture and anti diet culture are ridiculous. It is a crazy time that we live in where diet culture assumes everyone wants to lose fat and anti diet culture assumes no one wants to lose fat and we should all just be happy the way we are. Well I will stay firmly in the HUGE grey area in-between diet culture and anti diet culture where I believe if you want to change to better yourself then you bloody well can. & you don’t have to justify that One of the most amazing things about life is that we can change almost anything to some extent. Sure, love yourself but love yourself enough to work on yourself and change yourself , upgrade yourself to a better you. Thats what life is all about.
