Ep # 53: Getting Through an Urge - Guided Meditation
"When did weight loss feel hard this week?"
It's one of the most common questions I ask my clients to help them get to the bottom of their obstacles in weight loss.
Here are some challenges I often hear:
- "I do well until I see something that just looks really good. I know I'm not hungry, I just want it."
- "The ice cream is calling my name from the freezer every night. At the end of the day, I just feel too exhausted to deal, and I end up giving in."
- "The mental chatter about food is relentless...I wish it would just shut up."
These clients are struggling with urges, and I bet you can relate.
An urge is a feeling in your body (the urgent desire to eat something) usually coupled with a TON of thoughts about why you should toss your weight loss goal out the window and indulge to your heart's content.
Urges can be one of the most challenging parts of weight loss.
They can feel loud. They can feel overwhelming. You may feel powerless against them after a lifetime of giving in.
But you are not powerless.
You just need some tools and skills to help you get through your urges.
Because, here's the truth - urges always go away eventually. They go away when we give in to them by eating (though that sure does get in the way of our weight loss.)
They ALSO go away when we learn how to let them pass on without reacting to them.
You can teach your brain and body that urges are no big deal.
You can become the kind of person who can have the urge to eat something, but not feel controlled by that urge.
Today's episode gives you a powerful tool to add to your weight loss toolbelt - my guided urge meditation.
I hope you will come back to this episode again and again as you learn how to navigate urges with ease. It works!
The urge mediation begins 9 minutes and 10 seconds into this episode.
