Where Are You Holding Yourself Back?

Last week I told you my story. This week I want to talk about yours.

Because whether you have been losing weight and feel strangely anxious about it, or you have been stuck and doing things in secret you would never do in the daylight, I think the same belief is running in the background. And once you see it, so much of the struggle starts to make a different kind of sense.

This episode is for two women. The one hanging on by her fingernails as the weight comes off. And the one in the CVS parking lot who does not fully understand why she keeps ending up there. Both of them are dealing with the same thing underneath. And this episode names it.

What You'll Learn in This Episode

• Why weight loss can feel dangerous even when it is working
• How the belief "it's not safe to be fully me" shows up differently depending on where you are in your journey
• Why secret eating is not a discipline problem and what it actually is
• Why you cannot lose your way into feeling worthy, and what actually changes the verdict
• The brain science behind why trying harder keeps backfiring
• How to start building safety one small honest choice at a time

Key Takeaway

You are not doing it wrong. You are covered. And there is a very big difference between those two things. The woman underneath the hiding, the patterns, and the protection has been there the whole time. The sun has been shining. This episode is about starting to let her out.

Listen If You've Ever Thought...

• "Why do I feel more anxious the more weight I lose?"
• "I keep eating in secret and I don't fully understand why."
• "I just want to feel normal around food."
• "I'll finally feel okay about myself when I reach my goal weight."
• "I know what I want to do. Why can't I just do it?"
