>>BRUCE HAMILTON: HAS FEELING A BIT TIGHTER SINCE THE START OF
THE PANDEMIC GRABBING FOR A DOUGHNUT OR CANDY BAR IN MY CASE, THE PIZZA BECAUSE
YOU’RE STRESSED.
>> YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN FACT
THEY DID A STUDY AND ON AVERAGE
PEOPLE GAIN 2 POUNDS. POUNDS A
MONTH DURING THE PANDEMIC SO
HOW DO WE CHECKED THE CHUNK AND
STOP
STRESS EATING. WELL THAT’S
WHERE A TRANSFORMATIONAL COACH
AND CEO AND FOUNDER OF ELEVATE
WITH KERRY COMES IN CARY FOR
HERE IN THE MORNING SHOW GOOD
MORNING.
>> GOOD MORNING. BRUCE HOW ARE
YOU GREAT, SO I HATE TO SAY IT,
BUT THAT NUMBER MAY
UNDERESTIMATE THE AVERAGE
WEIGHT GAIN SO LET’S NOT WORRY
ABOUT NUMBERS AT THIS POINT
WHERE DO WE START IN THE EFFORT
TO TURN
THINGS AROUND.
>>LAUREN VERNO: YEAH, ONE THING
I REALLY LOVE TO SUGGEST TO
CLIENTS AND PEOPLE THAT I WORK
WITH US TO
RE FRAME CONVENIENCE AND FAST
FOOD, SO IT CAN BE FOOD THAT IS
FAST. WE THINK ABOUT THINGS
THAT ARE AVAILABLE IN THE GAS
STATION MAYBE YOU HAVE A
BEHAVIOR AROUND GRABBING THE
DONUT LIKE YOU SAID EVERY TIME
YOU GO TO THE HACK ASKED
STATION INSTEAD THINK ABOUT
WHAT IS A FOOD THAT IS FAST BUT
IT’S ALSO HEALTHY COULD BE
BANANAS HARD BOILED EGGS
BELIEVE IT OR NOT THOSE ARE
ALSO AT THE GAS STATION.
>> THAT’S CHANGING YOUR MINDSET
YOU SET YOUR HABITS ABSOLUTELY
SO PEOPLE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND
THAT THIS WEIGHT GAIN FIGHT HAS
A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT
COMPONENTS YOU GOT DIETARY.
YOU’VE GOT THE PHYSICAL WHICH
IS EXERCISE AND MENTAL WHICH
BRINGS ME TO THE TOPIC OF
STRESS.
YEAH IT ALL COMES TOGETHER AND
FORCES US TO FIND A WAY TO EASE
THE PAIN.
>>LAUREN VERNO: IT DOES AND WE
FIND OURSELVES WONDERING OVER
TO THE PANTRY FAR MORE THAN
WE’D LIKE TO ADMIT. BUT WE GET
TO GET
CURIOUS AROUND AND MY CHOOSING
TO LIVE IN MIGHT JOIN REALLY DO
I WANT THIS COOKIE OR AND
I ACTUALLY AN EMOTIONAL RESPONSE ARE TRYING TO AVOID SOMETHING ELSE HERE THAT I’M
NOT REALLY WANTING TO FACE
OKAY STRESS.
>>BRUCE HAMILTON: SO I READ
ANOTHER STUDY THAT INDICATED
STRESS LED WOMEN TO TURN TO
JUNK FOOD. MORE THAN MEN WHY.
>> YEAH,
YOU KNOW, HERE’S THE THING.
THERE’S SO MANY THINGS GOING ON
RIGHT NOW IN THE WORLD WE’VE
GOT A PANDEMIC WE’VE GOT KIDS
AT HOME. WE’VE GOT BLURRED
LINES AND LACK OF BOUNDARIES
DUE TO WORK ON LIFE
AND YOU KNOW WE’RE STILL MAKING
A MASSIVE TRANSITION. I THINK
TO PEOPLE PARTNERSHIP BOTH
PARTNERS WORKING FULL TIME
BUT I STILL OFTEN FIND THAT THE
FEMALES I WORK WITH AT LEAST IN
MY EXPERIENCE ARE STILL TRYING TO JUGGLE IT ALL AND LOOK GOOD WHILE DOING IT
AND THAT’S A REALLY TOUGH PLACE
TO COME FROM THIS KIND OF
DUALITY SO I THINK WOMEN JUST
TEND TO INTERNALIZE STRESS A
LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY THAN
MEN.
>>BRUCE HAMILTON: AND TO THE
ISSUE
OF EXERCISE, YOU KNOW WE ALWAYS
HAVE AN EXCUSE I DON’T HAVE
TIME I CAN’T FIND TIME I GOT
THE KIDS HERE. WORK
IS CONSUMING ARE THEY JUST
EXCUSES OR IS THAT A REALITY.
>> THEY ARE EXCUSES TIME IS
REALLY NOT THE ISSUE. I WOULD
ASK THEN.
>>LAUREN VERNO: WHY ARE YOU NOT
ABLE TO MAKE YOURSELF A
PRIORITY BECAUSE IF IT MATTERS
YOU’LL MAKE TIME FOR IT.
SO I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO USE
WHAT I CALL THE 5 MINUTE
COMMITMENT. WE JUST COMMIT TO 5
MINUTES OF GOING TO WORK OUT
AND CHANCES ARE NEARLY A 100%
OF THE TIME THAT ENDS UP BEING
YOUR BEST WORKOUT BECAUSE
AS WE KNOW THE HARDEST PART IS
GETTING STARTED GETTING TO THE
GYM. WE’RE JUST PUTTING ON THE
WORKOUT CLOTHES.
>>BRUCE HAMILTON: YOU KNOW
THERE’S ANOTHER COMPONENT HERE
ITS ITS FRUSTRATION. YOU DIDN’T
GET THAT WAY OVERNIGHT YOU’RE
NOT GOING TO GET TO WHERE YOU
WANT TO BE
OVERNIGHT EITHER AND IT TAKES A
LITTLE WHILE TO CREATE THIS NEW
HAVE IT.
HOW LONG.
>> IT’S AS THEY SAY IT’S ABOUT
90 DAYS. BEFORE WE CAN
ESTABLISH A HEALTHY
PATTERN BUT THERE’S A BOOK
CALLED TINY HABITS AND YOU CAN
ACTUALLY USE ALREADY EXISTING
ROUTINES AND BEHAVIORS
TO ANCHOR AND THEN REDIRECT
PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR THAT
SUPPORTS THE DIRECTION YOU
ULTIMATELY WANT TO WALK
WITHIN SO.
>> THAT’S WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST
ALSO KNOW KERRI LIVES IN
ATLANTA. BUT YOU ACTUALLY
HAPPENS TO BE HERE VISIT YOUR
FOLKS WANT TO
SAY HI.
>> IF YOU’RE IN DOUBT. YES, HI,
MOM, HI DAD HYPING TONIGHT.
TYLER MY SON MY DAUGHTER THERE
YOU GO IF YOU WANT TO LEARN
MORE ABOUT
CURRY’S EFFORTS.
>>BRUCE HAMILTON: ALL YOU HAVE
TO DO IS GO TO HER PAGE HER
PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION AND
MORE IS ELEVATE
WITH KERRY. DOT COM. THANKS
GARY. GOOD TO TALK TO YOU THANK
YOU. BRUCE WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK.
