You are listening to Weight Loss Made Real, and this is episode 66.

I'm your host, Master Weight Loss Coach and Author Cookie Rosenblum.

Today and every Tuesday I'm here to coach you and teach you

how to end your emotional eating,

how to bust through those urges to binge, and how to leave all your overeating habits in the past.

If you just found me, I'm really glad you did.

And if you're a regular listener, welcome back.

I appreciate you very much.

And that is the desire, sometimes,

to sit down and stop what you're doing

and blame yourself for not being able to do it correctly and then taking a long time to get back up again.

This can actually go on for years where you feel like you're making little progress,

but something comes up as it always does, you fall

down and you simply don't get up. And I want to talk about why you should approach these things that come up differently, why you should

approach them as necessary pauses instead of signals to stop, that traffic light that just tells you to stop, turn around, and go home.

And I'm fighting a little cold today, so I'm a little bit huskier than usual so please bear with me as I talk my voice is just a little bit

deeper today but it's still me I'm here so let's think about this you set a, you're trying to accomplish something, you're moving
