Have you been stuck in the magical thinking that when you lose weight everything will be better for you?

When I’m thin…

I’ll want to go out more.

My husband/partner will be attracted to me.

I’ll be more adventurous.

I’ll feel happier and more confident.

I’ll finally be successful.

I’ll travel more.

I’ll have more friends.

I’ll be more outgoing.

My dad will be proud of me.

I’ll finally start my business.

I’ll wear a 2-piece and love going to the beach.

WRONG!

What would it look like to start living the life you think the weight loss would give you permission to live?
