Do you want to lose weight?
If so, you are not alone. I was there for many years along with millions of other women just like you.
The truth is 91% of women are unhappy about their body and seek weight loss as a solution.
First, let’s level up on one fundamental point: No one wakes up one morning wanting to be fat, carry extra weight or not be able to lose weight.
It’s a basic human need to be accepted by our tribe and peers, therefore to be “normal”.
All we want to be “normal”, we want to be confident in our body and image. We are ready to do, what needs to get done to feel “normal” in our body.
For most of us in this community, this desire to be “normal weight” has gone one of two ways: we did lose weight at some point but it didn’t “stick” OR we haven’t yet attempted to lose weight because we are so afraid of failure and change.
Why is it that we can’t do what we deeply desire?
That’s what we will cover in this 2-part podcast series: episode 173-175.
In this episode I discuss
- What you need to consider in your desire to lose weight
- Why do we want to lose weight
- Does Thinness equals Happiness?
- How I changed my relationship to food from overeating, binging and emotional eating to food freedom
