Summary

When Mandy reached out to me in 2021, she was fed up.

She had just listened to On Air with Ella episode 139: Why We Do What We Do - Retrain Your Brain with Jim Fortin, and reached out to me wanting to know more about how I applied those concepts to make real change in my own life.

When we chatted, we realized that more people would be interested in this conversation, including:

Mandy's journey on the weight loss roller coaster and the deprivation-binge cycle
3 questions to ask when you need to bust out of a rut, your limiting beliefs or negative self-talk
Her fears and realizations around intuitive eating, and her discovery that mindset was the key all along
The changes she’s made in just the past few weeks (it’s pretty incredible!)
The real secret behind accomplishing what you want when can’t seem to start
What motivation actually looks like in action
Why Ella can’t really relate to wanting to "be happy"

0:00.0	Hey, it's Ella. Just a quick intro before we jump into this episode with a listener, Mandy Kellogg.
0:04.9	This is something different in store for us today. This is a conversation with Mandy, a listener
0:09.5	who I was connected to on Instagram but had never met. And Mandy sent me a message and she was
0:14.3	clearly fed up. I want to share that message with you because I think it gives context to this
0:18.7	conversation. Mandy said, so how does your brain work?
0:21.4	How did you get started with working out? You look amazing. That's nice, Mandy. You have great energy
0:26.5	from what I see on Instagram. You seem very strong-minded and determined. I want to be all of that.
0:31.4	I just don't identify as that yet. I identify as someone who tries to work out but knows she'll
0:36.4	always get hurt because she's getting older. I love to eat. I'm tired. I feel like someone who tries to work out but knows she'll always get hurt because she's
0:37.6	getting older. I love to eat. I'm tired. I feel like I'm 94 instead of 44. She goes on to say,
0:43.4	I know I'm asking a lot, but I just thought I'd throw this away. I always want to walk up to fit
0:47.4	older women in workout clothes and just ask them how they do it. Like what is literally going on in your brain every day to make this happen? All of that to say
0:54.6	that Jim Fortin, she's referring to episode 139, Jim Fortin recommended to start identifying as someone
1:00.0	who has what you want. I'm constantly telling myself I can't or it won't happen for me and I have to
1:05.2	change this. So she was fed up and we started a dialogue up until about two weeks before this
1:10.5	conversation. She was
1:12.0	really, really down on herself, weighing herself every day and feeling like she was failing.
1:16.5	And so this is a conversation that Mandy and I have, and it starts out, admittedly, about
1:21.4	the weight loss roller coaster, the deprivation binge cycle, and Mandy's fears and realizations around intuitive eating. But that's only
1:30.1	about the first 10 to 12 minutes of this conversation. And then we really deep dive into mindset.
1:35.4	So she meant it when she said, how does your brain work? Where does your energy come from?
1:39.3	How can I be happy and healthy? And she talks about the changes she's made just in the past two weeks,
