Permanent weight loss requires understanding thoughts. Thoughts drive emotions, actions and inevitably your results. Evaluating thoughts critically, challenging fixed false beliefs and being intentional with new thoughts are key components of getting results, including permanent weight loss. In this four-part podcast series, I discuss the thought model in-depth. During this episode I focus on thought downloads, which is also called journaling. However, I call it “taking out the trash” because you are critically evaluating thoughts and getting rid of those thoughts that don’t serve you. In the next episodes I’ll discuss (1) being intentional with your thoughts, and (2) planning for the future.

This podcast is the second episode in a 4-part series. The first episode provides an overview of the theoretical model called the Thought Model.
