"when I lose the weight I'll feel better about myself"
"my weight is the problem"
"I'll be happy, confident, and more present when I lose these pounds"
"I'm not worthy at this weight"

Have you ever thought or uttered these sentences? We ALL have. 

Because we believe that the smaller we are the more acceptable we are.

And the smaller we are the happier we are.

In this honest and vulnerable podcast we gab with the open and emotionally generous Zach Anderson on why when his life was falling apart he realized that losing weight wasn't going to fix it. We talk about our own therapy revelations, prioritizing mental health with physical health, how being in an emotional surplus can't be solved with a caloric deficit and more.

The number 1 reason women say they want to lose weight is "to feel better about myself".  But does it work? (not does the diet work - does losing weight make you feel better)

We hear that women are objectified in society--but would you believe you do that to yourself?

We inherit all kinds of things from our parents, did you realize this includes your thoughts?

Our guest this week is the extraordinary therapist, teacher and author: Dr Julie Hanks! Join us as we discuss the ways in which your sense of self was structured by society and childhood, and how self-limiting beliefs often live in places you never have noticed or questioned. She even gives her best advice on how to start building a better relationship with you!
