Technology is working. Had to figure things out. All right, all right. Hey y'all, hey! Sorry for the technical delay. I'm like 2 minutes late, but I wanted to reinvigorate the Jennifer Lives that I have been doing because I'm keeping my spreadsheet of my questions and the challenges that you guys are dealing with. So I want to answer a question— actually, not even answer a question, I want to address a struggle from someone who sent me an email. I think it was Minette. So, but before I do that, I want to introduce myself for those of you who may not know me. I am Jennifer Dent-Brown. I am a life and weight loss coach, and I help women learn to stop dieting forever. When you can learn to stop dieting forever, you will get off of the weight loss struggle bus and lose weight for the last time. So I teach women how to do that. In my 30-day boot camp. It's called Stop Dieting in 30. The next one is coming up very soon on May 2nd. So if you're interested, you want to go to jenniferdant.com/bootcamp. You get all the details about the boot camp— when it begins, when the calls are, what you get when you join, how much it is— $250— some of the success stories before and after, the women who have done the process and have been successful with it. So what I want to do is answer questions that I've been getting and challenges that you all are sending me via email, via DM. Um, love that y'all are in the DMs, like, tell me about my podcast and all the weight that you're losing just from listening to the podcast. Love it so much. Y'all put those reviews out on the page, put them in the— in the— on your podcast. Review so other people can see it. I love it. Alright, so I want to answer a question. And I'm going to just answer this one challenge in this Jennifer Live, and I'm going to start doing these weekly. So if you miss this one live, you can always come back, watch the replay, or know that I will be addressing someone else's issue next week. Alright, so this was— this came from Manette via email. And I think she had signed up for my freebie, my free weight loss guide and 5-part video series. So if you haven't received that, completely 100% free, the introduction to the weight loss process, you can go to jenniferdent.com/stopdietingforever and send me your email address and I will send it to you 100% free. It's amazing. It's like very comprehensive. So one of the questions I have in that email sequence that I sent to you is like, what are you struggling with? Like, what are, what are, what are your problems? So this person responded back to me, and I love this because I think so many other people have the same thought. She's like, I have determination for everything else except weight loss. I find this thought here to be so common with my dieters, with my chronic dieters. Chronicle Dieters, can we get a hand up in the air? We have tried so many times to lose weight, and if it hasn't worked— and we know that it hasn't worked because you're here and you're interested in Stop Dieting Forever— but we lose like a little bit of our souls every time we try to lose weight and it doesn't work. Long term. Or we get on, we lose some weight and we get on the scale and god darn it, we gain some weight back. So I understand her, her challenge is like, look, I have determination for everything else. Everything else I want to do in my life, I have been able to do. I'm like, now I don't know if this is your story or not, but this was my story because I had the same thought, right? I can go to school, I got the good jobs, multiple degrees. Bought houses, cars, great friends, right? From the outside, my life looked wonderful. It looked peachy. But goddarn it, I could not figure out how to lose weight and keep it off. It is like, if I am so smart, why can't I lose weight? I was focused. Everything else that I wanted, I was able to achieve except weight loss. That was like the final frontier for me. So fast forward a bunch of years. And here I am. I've created the Stop Dieting Forever process to walk you all through exactly how to create the determination that you need to lose weight for the last time. Okay, this is the best weight loss program on the internet. No other weight loss program is going to teach you how to create this, especially after you have tried so many times and it hasn't worked. Or for those of you— because I do get some people who come to the boot camp and they are new to weight gain, right? They haven't had a weight problem all their lives, and now they're getting older, things are changing, their weight is up, their markers are up, cholesterol levels are high, blood pressure numbers are high. They get that that message from the doctor, you're pre-diabetic. And so now they're like, oh, I got to lose some weight. So this weight loss process is for everyone. But I want to address this thought here. I have determination for everything else but weight loss. So this is a story that you have told yourself, right? This is a story of like, I can do all these other things, but I can't do weight loss. I can't stay determined. This also shows up as thoughts of like, I'm not consistent. Enough. I'm not disciplined enough to lose weight. I'm not, um, I need to work on my consistency and then I'll be able to lose weight for the last time. Okay, so what I want to teach you all today, old school with the whiteboard, this here determination is internal, okay? It doesn't come from anything outside of you. There is no determination fairy out there in the world sprinkling fairy dust on you to be like, poof, you are determined now, go off and lose weight. Now you've got to create this on your own, but you're not going to create consistency. You're not going to be able to create discipline. You're not going to be determined to lose weight as long as you have this story about yourself. Okay, I have determination for everything else but weight loss. So, what, how we want to answer this is we just want to change the story. We want to change the story. We want to be able to create our own determination for weight loss. This simply means that you set a goal and you know exactly how to reach it. You set a goal and you motivate yourself to get to the finish line of whatever that goal weight is. Now I teach you how to do this. I give you the introduction to doing this. The process, right, is erasing this old story because it ain't working for you, right? Because as long as you believe, I have determination for everything else but weight loss, you're going to be determined for everything else. But when it comes to weight loss, you're going to still keep the weight on you, and that's not what you want. Okay, so I give you the formula, the introduction to, to how this is done. How do we re-change the story? In the Stop Dieting Forever 5-part video series and weight loss guide. So that's 100% completely free. Go to stopdiet— or jenniferdent.com/stopdietingforever, all one word, and download it and start watching it immediately, implementing exactly what I teach you. Okay, now once you get into the boot camp, the 30-day boot camp, Stop Dieting in 30 Food Camp. I'm taking you through the rest of the process, but the first thing we do is we gotta rewrite this story. And if you've been thinking the story for a very long time, it's gonna take some effort. It's gonna be a little bit of work to understand and create a new story for you that you actually believe. So I'm going to teach you how to create the story, rewrite this old story, and create one that you actually believe when it comes to weight loss. Okay. All right. So just know, Minette, this is your thought here. This is your story about yourself. This is your 1.0 thinking, right? This is your 1.0 brain telling you you can't lose weight in the boot camp. I teach my boot campers how to create 2.0 version of themselves, right? Their version 2.0 brain. And this is going to get them to their forever weight. All right, got it? Good. Send me your questions that you guys have, uh, I will answer them in a future Jennifer Live. Simply send them to me via email, jennifer@jenniferdent.com, or y'all just keep sliding DMs. I am checking them and I will add it to the list. And so next week we're going to address a different challenge that you all are having with weight loss. All right, see you guys later. Bye!
