Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to Fit and Fabulous with me, Dr. Orlena. I hope that you are feeling amazing today. Okay, today, hard love day for you today, my friends, I want to ask you some hard questions, and I'm gonna tell you a very personal story. Now, my questions that I want to ask you are, Are you truly committed to yourself?

Commitment to Self: The Foundation of Healthy Changes

And where are you selling yourself short? Where are you not investing in yourself? Not necessarily in terms of money, but in terms of things that you can do to really and truly look after yourself. So, a couple of personal stories for you. I went and had my smear test. Oh my goodness. It was in January now, and as I record this, it is the 1st of September.

Happy September everybody. So at that time in my life, there was a lot going on in my life. My son was unwell. We were going through, oh my goodness, being admitted to hospital and not...

Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to Fit and Fabulous with me, Dr. Orlena. I hope that you are feeling fabulous today. Today I want to talk to you about how to stop eating treats or junk food in a social environment. And I know that this can be such a big hurdle that so many people face. I have so many people who say to me, oh my goodness, I eat healthily except...

My husband makes it really difficult because he brings home treats the whole time, or my family cook for me and they cook me this, you know, treat food that I don't really want to be eating or I'm going out to a social situation and there's cakes and cookies and things like that, and I feel obliged to eat it.

So this is a really big hurdle and I think it's one of the most difficult hurdles to get over in terms of healthy eating. So before we talk about this, I...

Simplify and Thrive: Mastering Systems for Effortless Healthy Living

Hello, hello, hello! Welcome to Fit and Fabulous with me, Dr. Orlena. I hope that you are feeling amazing, amazing, amazing today. Okay? Today is story time. I have got a couple of stories to tell you. The first story I want to tell you is called The Chocolate Cake Story, and here's how it goes.

The Chocolate Cake Story: Finding Balance in Indulgence

My son, who is 15, he loves, loves, loves making chocolate cake now. Admittedly, he makes chocolate cake for birthdays and special treats. It's not something that he makes every day, but my son doesn't do things by halves. He's not the kind of person who takes on board what I'm trying to teach him about healthy eating. He's like, "I'm gonna throw in loads of sugar and loads of flour and loads of chocolate and loads of cream."

And he ends up with this decadent, amazing chocolate cake, which is great for birthdays and exciting things like that. Now I...

Podcast Intro

"Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to Fit and Fabulous with me, Dr. Orlena. Super excited to be here! Today I want to ask you a big question. Are you in control of your mind and your behavior? Now, why is this a big question? Because you want to lead a healthy life, so you want to lose weight. You wanna do all of those things, get more energy, lead a healthy life, everything that we talk about in this group and on this podcast, except that you are not doing it."

Exploring Perfectionism and Control

"And then the question becomes, why? Why aren't you doing it? And one answer is because you aren't in control of your behavior or your mind. So the other day I was chatting with my son. I'm reading him this book, it is called 'Superpowered: Transform Anxiety Into Courage, Confidence, and Resilience' by Renny Jane and Dr. Shefali. And it's a great book. I totally recommend it."

Perfectionism and Procrastination

"It's basically really looking at thoughts and...

Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to Fit and Fabulous with me, Dr. Orlena. Today we are doing something different. So last week I did a workshop called Positively Healthy Weight Loss with ease and flow, and it's all about your brain and your mind and how your mind can make it more difficult or make it easy for yourself, and how to change between the two of them.

And it's an amazing workshop. It had fabulous feedback, and so I want to share it with you. So today's episode is a little bit longer than normal. It's about 45 minutes.

My poor daughter, we went cycling yesterday. She went round a corner too quickly. Skidded. Nearly crashed into somebody. Luckily the other person managed to break and she scratched her arms and legs.

Oh my goodness. It is the worst thing when your kids are unwell or something happens to your kids. It really, really is. And on top of that, my wounds from falling off my bike last week are beginning to heal. Oh my goodness. My bike has a flat tire. Despite having fixed it twice, I...
