Hello and welcome back to the Half-size-me show. I've got a really awesome interview for you today with one of our beauty

community members named Jean. Jean has overcome so many of the obstacles that people email me about.

She is extremely petite, she's under five feet tall. She has gone through menopause while she was losing her weight.

She really had to look at losing weight from a different perspective in order to be successful. I think you're going to get a lot out of this particular call because I would say the top three things I hear from people one and my two old. That's one of the big ones.

Am I too old to do this? I'm going through menopause, parimenopause. It's all those kinds of obstacles that they see in their way.

The other one I've been getting more and more are women who are more petite and or less active and are realizing that their maintenance calories are a lot lower than they thought they would have initially been.

Those are all things that the lower brain can get very excited about and start rattling off all the actions and steps and starting to micromanage.

We get into the comparison trap and the negative thought loops that causes not to take action. This is why I think hearing from Jean this week is really going to help you. She overcame all of those.

What we have to remember is we can have obstacles but it's our choice how we view those obstacles and it's our choice as to how we progress through them.

Each and every one of us get to make that decision for ourselves. I think Jean is really going to help you see this from a different perspective.

Now before I go into her interview I just want to remind you that in the half size meet community we are all moving in a brand new direction which I'm super excited about.

We have launched our brand new success guide for half size meet community members. It's called six steps to success in the half size meet community.

I want every single member no matter how long you've been a member you could have been here since we started in 2013. You could have been here for just two seconds. It really doesn't matter.

Everyone needs to start with the six steps to success. The reason is is because what I have learned in all my years of coaching, working with people, seeing the consistent struggles people come up against.

It really comes down to an internal battle. Some people will say I feel like there's like a double on one shoulder and angel on the other.

I feel like I'm a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and what it is is you feel like you're kind of at war with yourself.

And I really want to help you understand that better because in essence you know you kind of are.

You've got your higher brain, very logical, well thought out, very thinking of the future, wanting what's best for you.

And then you have this lower brain that actually also means well it wants to relieve your discomfort, pain, suffering, avoid failure, all those things.

But it does it in such a way to where it's not concerned at all about your long term outcomes. It's all about immediate discomfort, immediate pain, creating a sense of immediate relief.
