Why Focusing On Your Weight Is Bad For Your Health w/ Susan


Listen Later

Did you know that focusing on weight loss and stepping on the scale every morning actually harms your health? 

Today, we're joined by Susan, Food Freedom Academy alumni...and she had a LOT to share about her journey to intuitive eating. If you're having a really hard time accepting your body and letting go of control around food, this episode is for you... because Susan GETS IT.

Susan doesn't remember a time when she wasn't dieting or trying to lose weight. Her entire life has been clouded by this feeling of failure due to diets never working long-term. 

Over time, instead of feeling the confidence, happiness and health that diet culture offered, she struggled for than ever. With her weight, with overeating, with cravings, with food guilt. 

Making the decisions to put dieting behind once and for all was NOT an easy one, and she actually didn't fully believe that it was possible for her to have a healthy relationship with food. But, she had belief in the process and decided to take a leap of faith, because she was already at her worst case scenario. 

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • How Susan went from being a lifelong restrictive eater, to an intuitive one
  • The mental shifts necessary to break the heavy chains of diet culture 
  • How to work through body image issues when you don't like the way you look
  • Why the fixation on your weight doesn't help and can even cloud your biggest life achievements, making you feel like you're failing at your life
  • The powerful influence of family dynamics and societal pressures on our self-worth
  • How to untangle self-acceptance and self-esteem from physical appearance
  • The ripple effect of healing your relationship with food
