How much of your life are you spending being unhappy with yourself?
How many events, vacations, family gatherings, pictures, and everyday moments have been overshadowed by worrying about how you look and what you weigh?
Over my 25+ years of coaching people, I’ve heard a heartbreaking version of the same story again and again . . .
“I wish I was only as fat as I was back then. I used to think I looked terrible, but now I look at those pictures and realize I looked great! Why was I so mean to myself? Why didn’t I just enjoy my life?”
And here’s the really sad part -There’s a good chance you’re doing that very same thing to yourself right now.
In this episode, I want to challenge you to stop postponing your happiness. You can have goals, work toward weight loss, and want to improve your health.
But that doesn’t mean you have to spend every day criticizing yourself, obsessing over food, and refusing to enjoy life until you reach some magical number on the scale.
I’ll share several stories from clients who have experienced this struggle, including the stress of finding the right dress for a wedding, feeling mortified trying on bathing suits, and worrying about what to wear when visiting family.
We’ll also talk about the bully in your brain—that constant internal criticism that makes you feel like you’re never good enough—and how you can start standing up to it.
In this episode, we’ll cover . . .
- Why the biggest determinant of how much you enjoy life isn’t necessarily what you weigh or what you look like.
- How to recognize and stand up to the bully in your brain.
- Why self-compassion doesn’t mean giving up on your goals or throwing healthy habits out the window.
- The 3 things I do when coaching someone out of an emotional spiral
Here’s something I really want you to understand: You don’t have to be completely satisfied with your body to allow yourself to enjoy your life.
And you don’t have to wait until January to start making meaningful changes. I’m sharing a special, deeply discounted opportunity to begin addressing this area of your life without jumping into another restrictive, all-or-nothing diet.
