I’ve been thinking a lot about the phrase we use all of the time to explain why we want to lose weight, look different, get Botox, buy a new sweater.

“If it makes you happy”

If losing weight makes you happy, do it.
If getting a tummy tuck makes you happy, do it.
If getting that new bag makes you happy, do it.

But what’s really happening here? Are these things really making us happy? Or is that a story we’re telling ourselves?

I spend today’s episode diving into this, sharing my perspective on this reasoning, how I’m personally navigating this and some skills to help you get more clarity around why you’re doing what you’re doing when it comes to how you look and what makes you feel good.

It’s a little philosophical, but it’s a good one.

Also, there’s a quick reminder upfront about Eat with Ease! That’s my 6 month semi private group coaching program that starts Feb 12. You can get more details by adding your name to the early interest list here. We’ll be working on all things nutrition behavior change and body image with a small, intimate group of women who get it because they’ve been where you’ve been. I can’t wait for this to get started.
