  Brianna: Hello everyone and welcome back to this week's episode of Mocktail Minutes.
• 0:25
  Brianna: This is Brianna.
• 0:27
  Brianna: Today I'm doing a live, live, I think it's live'cause there's probiotics in it.
• 0:34
  Brianna: But one of the organic living sodas the spicy cherry berry.
• 0:39
  Brianna: This one tastes, I'm not gonna say just like Dr.
• 0:43
  Brianna: Pepper.
• 0:43
  Brianna: 'cause Dr.
• 0:44
  Brianna: Pepper is really carbonated.
• 0:45
  Brianna: It tastes like.
• 0:48
  Brianna: A slightly flat Dr.
• 0:50
  Brianna: Pepper, if that makes any sense, but it's really good.
• 0:53
  Brianna: These ha they're gut supporting Prepro and Postbiotics.
• 0:57
  Brianna: So again, we know that's a complicated thing to do.
• 1:00
  Brianna: It's a blanket statement, but regardless, it's a good alternative to an actual Dr.
• 1:05
  Brianna: Pepper.
• 1:07
  Brianna: Which kind of goes along with what I'm gonna talk about today, but today I am gonna talk about giving yourself some credit and specifically giving yourself some credit when you have lost weight or improved your health.
• 1:22
  Brianna: So I've had this conversation a lot this week because I work a lot with diabetes, I work a lot with weight loss, and so a lot of people that I work with are on a GLP one and.
• 1:33
  Brianna: A lot of them are struggling with kind of celebrating their wins because they're like, oh, it was the GLP one.
• 1:40
  Brianna: My my A1C went down drastically because the GLP one, no, I lost it because the GLP one and okay.
• 1:46
  Brianna: To be honest, some of it is because the GLP one, right?
• 1:50
  Brianna: Like it definitely does help metabolically in the background to help those things.
• 1:54
  Brianna: It does help you feel less hungry, have less food noise.
• 1:58
  Brianna: For sure, but don't discredit the changes that you have made.
• 2:05
  Brianna: Okay.
• 2:05
  Brianna: And I'm gonna come, I'm gonna come back to that.
• 2:07
  Brianna: So there are people using it incorrectly.
• 2:10
  Brianna: We know that there are people that are just relying on it, not changing any other, lifestyle factors ensure they'll lose weight.
• 2:19
  Brianna: They're typically the people that will either stall out on their weight loss or they will.
• 2:25
  Brianna: Gain the weight back sometimes to gain the weight plus more back.
• 2:30
  Brianna: So there's definitely a wrong way to use this tool.
• 2:32
  Brianna: There's definitely people out there who are, excited that they don't really have to make any changes and they're seeing weight loss.
• 2:38
  Brianna: So yes, they are using that tool incorrectly, but that's what this is.
• 2:45
  Brianna: It is a tool.
• 2:47
  Brianna: If you have had weight loss from a GLP one, or you've had a drastic change in yourself, and you wanna just be quick to discredit yourself, don't, because I have seen people beyond GLP ones and not improve their health, and not improve their weight and not improve habits.
• 3:03
  Brianna: Okay?
• 3:03
  Brianna: So it, it can go multiple ways and I want you to give yourself some credit because you need to celebrate.
• 3:13
  Brianna: That you've done that, okay.
• 3:14
  Brianna: Your brain needs it.
• 3:15
  Brianna: And a lot of times we don't celebrate our wins because maybe we're not exactly where we wanna be.
• 3:21
  Brianna: So we do this thing where we're like, okay, cool, that happened, but I'm not gonna give myself any credit'cause I don't wanna get complacent.
• 3:27
  Brianna: You know what if I just get comfortable I'm happy with this weight loss, but I still have more weight I wanna lose, so I'm just gonna, keep on trucking and, okay, cool.
• 3:36
  Brianna: I lost, 25, 30 pounds, like significant weight.
• 3:40
  Brianna: Because you will have a hard time later on celebrating.
• 3:46
  Brianna: Your ultimate goal, and you need this to keep going because once you've had a good amount of weight loss, your weight loss does slow.
• 3:54
  Brianna: The trajectory of it slows down.
• 3:56
  Brianna: You don't just continue to lose large amounts of weight, and that is the time that you really need to be motivated and feel like what you're doing is working so that you keep going because that instant gratification or that as quick of results is not going to be there.
• 4:16
  Brianna: So you need to be able to look at aerial view, give yourself a pat on the back and then look at the changes you have made.
• 4:25
  Brianna: So I had a client this past week and she has yeah, it's just the GLP one.
• 4:30
  Brianna: It's just the GLP one.
• 4:31
  Brianna: And she went on a road trip.
• 4:34
  Brianna: It was like a stressful situation in her life.
• 4:36
  Brianna: She had to go on a, unplanned last minute road trip on I 10, which sucks if anyone's ever taken a road trip on I 10 between Texas and California.
• 4:47
  Brianna: And there's a lot of fast food places, right?
• 4:49
  Brianna: And she has in the past kind of called herself someone that was like addicted to fast food or addicted to like good tasting food.
• 4:56
  Brianna: And she was really worried and she ended up, we planned, okay, what are some things we can have on hand?
• 5:01
  Brianna: What are some things you can do to just make something better?
• 5:03
  Brianna: It's not.
• 5:04
  Brianna: Best situation.
• 5:05
  Brianna: If there's gonna it, it's not the best it could be just because of your circumstances.
• 5:09
  Brianna: She came back and she was like, I felt great in my body the whole time.
• 5:13
  Brianna: I was able to put together like balanced snacks with stuff from the gas station.
• 5:17
  Brianna: What I did have to do, the fast food.
• 5:20
  Brianna: I think I did the better option and I didn't overeat and I feel great.
• 5:23
  Brianna: And I was like that right there a year ago.
• 5:27
  Brianna: Would that have been the case on a stressful last minute road trip?
• 5:33
  Brianna: It's light bulb moment.
• 5:34
  Brianna: No.
• 5:35
  Brianna: Okay, then give yourself some credit.
• 5:37
  Brianna: It is not all the GLP one.
• 5:38
  Brianna: You have made changes if you are cooking more at home, if you are actually paying attention to your movement throughout the day.
• 5:45
  Brianna: If you are strength training, if you actually care about your sleep, if you've reduced your alcohol, if you've done all these things.
• 5:54
  Brianna: Those have also contributed to your weight loss, and those are things you need to notice because that's drastic.
• 6:01
  Brianna: Someone going from fast food multiple times a week to cooking at home every single night is a drastic lifestyle change that impacts you a lot.
• 6:14
  Brianna: It was not all the GLP one.
• 6:16
  Brianna: Now, can the GLP one kickstart things or make things a little easier?
• 6:19
  Brianna: Of course.
• 6:20
  Brianna: Of course it can, but.
• 6:22
  Brianna: If you've been doing it like kudos to you, right?
• 6:27
  Brianna: And you need to establish take, if you're someone who's trying to taper off the GLP one, we, these are like the wild west right now.
• 6:36
  Brianna: So what is being said is if you were on a GLP one to lose weight, you will be on it for lifetime.
• 6:45
  Brianna: Now, me being a dietician, I'm like.
• 6:48
  Brianna: That they're only saying that because people will have a hard time maintaining their weight without the GLP one.
• 6:54
  Brianna: So they're saying if you wanna use it for weight loss, you need to always be on it so that you can always just, get the benefits of it.
• 7:00
  Brianna: I know that's incorrect because I've had people who have lost weight come off the GLP one, maintain weight, and they're fine.
• 7:07
  Brianna: Now everyone is a little bit different, but.
• 7:10
  Brianna: To tell someone you need to be on it for life, for weight loss is really discouraging and tells you right there, like you suck.
• 7:17
  Brianna: You don't know what you're doing.
• 7:18
  Brianna: It's very similar to how I feel like we do it with gastric bypass, which isn't as popular as it used to be, but you're basically telling someone like, you suck so bad at knowing how much you need to eat, that we need to make your stomach smaller.
• 7:34
  Brianna: What does that do to your mindset?
• 7:35
  Brianna: If you need to be on a GLP one long term, okay?
• 7:38
  Brianna: But my point is when you are ready to come off of it, taper off of it can no longer be on it because of insurance or pricing or all of the things.
• 7:49
  Brianna: If you have not given yourself credit for the things that you have done, the side effects.
• 7:57
  Brianna: That the GLP one quiets are gonna come back much louder because you were gonna be focusing on them.
• 8:04
  Brianna: Okay.
• 8:04
  Brianna: So you're gonna be telling yourself like the GLP one did a good job at making me feel full.
• 8:09
  Brianna: And then you're gonna be, you're gonna feel a little bit more hungry'cause you're not having that delay in gastric emptying and it's gonna be so much louder and you're gonna be like, yep, there's that hunger.
• 8:19
  Brianna: What do I do with it?
• 8:21
  Brianna: Dang it.
• 8:21
  Brianna: Like I can't control it.
• 8:23
  Brianna: When you know what to do because you have been doing the things, okay, think about kids, right?
• 8:32
  Brianna: You tell your kids like, if you think you can't do it, they usually don't, you give your kid like kinda you could do it.
• 8:36
  Brianna: I know you could do it.
• 8:37
  Brianna: They do it and then they're like excited about themselves.
• 8:40
  Brianna: Same thing.
• 8:41
  Brianna: You need to tell your brain that, because if not that food noise, not feeling satiated, feeling more snacky, all of that is gonna come back and it's gonna be much louder because you've already told yourself, I cannot manage these things without the GLP one, and you're gonna be like.
• 8:57
  Brianna: Hyper focusing on it, right?
• 8:58
  Brianna: Like the red car thing.
• 9:00
  Brianna: I don't know if anybody else has ever used that as a term, but that's how like we've done in my family, right?
• 9:05
  Brianna: Like you're thinking about buying a red car, so all of a sudden you see like all the red cars riding around when before you didn't realize how many red cars they were just driving normally.
• 9:14
  Brianna: But because you're thinking about buying a red car now, you like see it everywhere, that sort of thing.
• 9:20
  Brianna: So you need to give yourself credit so that you have the confidence.
• 9:27
  Brianna: To eat like you're eating and maintain your weight and feel good in your body and know how to balance your meals, you need that confidence to be successful off of a GLP one, and I do know that you can come off of it and maintain weight.
• 9:43
  Brianna: Again, everyone's different.
• 9:45
  Brianna: It depends on what you're doing, but I want you to think about it.
• 9:48
  Brianna: Even if you're not on a GLP one, because I know there's a lot of people that listen to this that isn't, if you have lost weight, I wanna be giving yourself some credit.
• 9:56
  Brianna: And they want you thinking, how different am I today from who I was a year ago?
• 10:02
  Brianna: What would a year ago Brianna do on summer break?
• 10:04
  Brianna: What would a year ago Brianna do in a stressful situation?
• 10:07
  Brianna: What would a year ago, Brianna, do you know?
• 10:10
  Brianna: Yada y yada and kinda look and see, wow this and that is different.
• 10:14
  Brianna: Go me.
• 10:16
  Brianna: Go me.
• 10:16
  Brianna: I have made these changes.
• 10:18
  Brianna: We are so used to not celebrating ourselves, I think especially as women,'cause I think men have an easier time celebrating themselves.
• 10:24
  Brianna: But as women, we don't celebrate ourselves.
• 10:27
  Brianna: Celebrate yourself.
• 10:29
  Brianna: Give yourself some credit so that you can continue to be confident in those lifestyle changes and that they can continue.
• 10:35
  Brianna: Because again, we've said 80% of weight loss is mindset.
• 10:38
  Brianna: If you think you cannot do it, you will not do it.
• 10:42
  Brianna: If you think you'll not be able to manage your appetite off a G GLP one, you won't.
• 10:47
  Brianna: If you think you do not know how to have good habits, you won't.
• 10:52
  Brianna: Because you're directly saying, the only reason why I've done that is this, and if you take that away there it is.
• 11:01
  Brianna: And that's not the cycle you wanna be in.
• 11:02
  Brianna: So I hope this short and sweet episode spoke to someone.
• 11:07
  Brianna: Even if you're not a GLP one and you've improved your health or improved your weight, give yourself some credit, even if you're not where you wanna be, that's important.
• 11:16
  Brianna: I hope you guys enjoyed this.
