You love the idea of not having to diet anymore and do away diet culture for good. The thought of not having to binge anymore and can still form healthy habits without the burden of counting calories and extensive exercises sounds refreshing.
“But I want to lose weight.”
Despite knowing all this, you still might desire to lose weight. And I am here to tell you that is perfectly normal.
Of course you want to lose weight, and I give my clients a safe space to explore and have these thoughts. Our society unfortunately is fatphobic and can be cruel to people who are in larger bodies. We fear we won’t be as accepted or loved if we gain weight or be in a larger body. So it’s perfectly normal to have these thoughts.
Diet culture is not going anywhere anytime soon. And you can’t change everyone’s thoughts and beliefs in your circle around weight unless they are willing to be open to change.
Which is why changing your own beliefs and thoughts about weight is so important to protect you from the diet culture noise around you.
When I hear my friends and families talk about the woes of needing to lose weight or making an observation that someone has gained weight, I now have the capacity to think that they too have been swayed by diet culture messages and it is not their fault either. In their eyes, being in a smaller body makes them feel safe.
I also explore this with my clients in my 1:1 Private Coaching program.
If interested in coaching with me 1:1, I have the capacity currently to coach two women, and if those spots get filled, get on the waiting list now by applying to see if we are a good fit.
