“If I just lose ten lbs I will
feel good about myself again…”
“When I’m thin I get so many compliments on my
appearance…”
“If
I don’t follow my plan perfectly and to a “t” then that means I’ve
failed…”
“I
can’t keep any sweets in my house or else I will gorge myself on
them…”
Has
anyone ever had those thoughts before?
I
know I certainly have in the past 🙋🏼♀️ In fact, truthfully, it
took me years to learn how to rewire my brain out of wanting to
constantly diet.
But
once I learned to change the way I looked at food….it was the most
wonderful freeing feeling ever.
I’m
so excited to share my newest podcast with you guys! I brought on
Maria Simpson (@bodyloveboss) to talk about the amazing movement
she is creating teaching others how to end the diet cycle, to love
your body, and to never have to diet again.
In
our podcast, we talk about:
-Her
past experience of disordered eating and compulsive
exercise
-How
her body started shutting down from extreme dieting and
overexercising
-How
she struggled with thyroid issues, gaining weight, losing her
hair...and how she overcame that
-Ways you can cultivate positive body image for
your own children (Maria is a mom of 5!)
-The
first step you can take as you learn to break out of the diet
cycle.
“It
came down to restriction. Your brain wants what it can’t have.
That’s human nature. Knowing in my brain that I was going to
restrict food again caused me to obsess about it and want it. It
was a constant craving and obsession and having to fight against
it. I decided “what if I never restrict again? What if I just take
that off the table and my body can trust me that all food is
available at all times. There’s not a scarcity.” It really changed
the game. Knowing that if I wanted a cookie I could have it.
Food lost it’s
power once I decided to
take restriction off the table.”
Maria has an incredible way of using empathy
and compassion to share her own journey and help others as they are
navigating through that as well. She has amazing programs where she
helps teach other women how they can learn to love their bodies and
never have to diet again. You can find more about Maria
