[Love Life And Lose Weight] 2: Why You’re Overweight

In this episode, I ask you to tell the old story about why you are overweight in the first place.  When we make being overweight a justification for our perceived limitations, it can become part of how we see ourselves and part of our self-identity.

The default story is usually one that includes judgments about our faults or stories about lacking self-control around food.

The truth is that being overweight is just the result of learned habits of association around food and the normal human desire to feel better.

Your Coach’s Homework is to journal on the following questions:

  1. Write your old story about why you are overweight, and what you made that mean about who you are because of that.
  2. Proclaim that you are not that person anymore. Write the truth about being overweight: you learned habits of overeating around food. Write as much as feels right, then SAFELY burn or rip up or trash that old story about why you are overweight to mark your willingness to let go and detach yourself from believing and agreeing with that old story. Now we can get to work with telling the new and true story, and start learning NEW habits around food.

I’m an advanced certified weight and life coach who holds a master’s degree in education. I don’t just talk about weight loss; I work full-time as a coach. More than that, I live the lifestyle. My story is powerful proof that the diet industry is broken, and it can and will break you too, unless you are willing to leave it all behind you. We were sold a lie about weight loss that blames the dieter for a lack of self-control in a system that demonizes food as good or bad. That all can stop for you today, too.
