96 - You Can't Hate Yourself Skinny – The role of self worth & self acceptance in lasting weight loss

A huge area of confusion for so many women when it comes to weight loss and fat loss is the subject of self love and self acceptance.

We frequently speak to two different groups of people, both of whom are confused.

The first group says, "If I learn to love and accept myself as I am, I'll just end up lowering my standards and settling. If I accept my body as it is, and my eating habits as they are, then I won't be motivated to change."

The second group says, "I'm scared to pursue a weight loss goal because it feels like I'm punishing myself. I feel called to be much more loving to my body and myself."

Both groups are confused, and both groups are wrong. Which is why both groups constantly suffer with internal conflicts where part of them wants one thing, part of them wants another thing, they feel torn in two directions, and they're constantly disappointed and frustrated.

In this episode we dive deep into the role of self worth and self acceptance in weight loss, and cover all of the following in detail:

• The structure of motivation and which forms are destructive and which forms are useful.
• The end result of using self judgement as motivation to lose weight, and why it backfires every time.
• Why self acceptance gives you the emotional freedom to chase the right things for the right reasons, and…
• Why self acceptance gives you the emotional stability to handle the ups and downs without overreacting, getting disheartened, or losing motivation.
• The difference between healthy eating as a form of punishment and healthy eating as a form of self love.
• How to raise your kids with clear values and boundaries around food, without giving them an eating disorder.
• Why self discipline is not self punishment.
• Is it wrong to value aesthetics, and the role of aesthetics in your overall motivation.

If you're serious about losing weight but have found yourself struggling for years, this episode will be invaluable in establishing the foundations you need to eliminate self sabotage and rebound and make a life-long change.
