Leigh Peele, (AKA The Fat Loss Troubleshooter) is my go-to girl when it comes to getting my head in the right place when it comes to fat loss.
She has an awesome ability to tell it like it is, in a way that inspires me to take actions the 'yeah but' side of me likes to avoid!
We all get stuck in ruts and have mental blocks and default excuses that creep in to our self-talk, and Leigh puts her finger on most of those in this great podcast: http://avidityfitness.net/2009/05/05/what-to-do-after-the-binge/
(You can listen direct here too: http://www.avidityfitness.net/downloads/ep-22-after-the-binge.mp3)
I really recommend you have a listen, especially if you are at a bit of a sticking point or plateau, or if things aren't going the way you want them to. It's essentially about how to deal with a binge, but there is so much more useful stuff in there, that applies accross the board.
Often its the one thing we are most resisting (recently I was resisting going back to logging my food in Calorie King as I have been doing with great success for 18 months!) that is the one that is holding us back, and you can guarantee that Leigh will not only remind you of the importance of what you are resisting, but also help you see it in a new light, so you realise that your resistance is harder work and more effort than just doing it, and getting the results you are after.
A little aside: Did you hear about the man who didn't believe Egypt had a river?
He was in de-nile.
Leigh will make sure you're not wallowing in a murky river, but instead sailing over it unhindered, towards your goal!
One of her quotes is 'get in and get out'. As in, just get on with the fat loss bit, give it your all, and then you can chill out a bit (in that new bikini on the beach!)
And if you haven't seen her classic video then you have got to check this out too:
