Burn Fat With Your Brain with Maggie Sterling

Hey everyone! This epsiode was probably one of the top 3 episodes that I got positive feedback from, so I am reposting it! If you have already heard it, I think its even worth a re-listen! In this episode, we discuss the idea that true weight loss begins with self-acceptance. Many people believe that the key to weight loss is simply eating less and exercising more, but this narrow view ignores the underlying emotional and psychological factors that contribute to weight gain. We explore the concept of treating ourselves with kindness and compassion when it comes to our bodies and our weight. We discuss the importance of developing a healthy relationship with food, rather than viewing food as a source of comfort or punishment. We also talk about the benefits of mindfulness and self-compassion in weight loss efforts, and how to move away from a focus on perfection and self-criticism and towards a more positive, accepting attitude towards oneself.

We got an email from a listener that we are responding to today. Cole asked "My parents live out of town and I quite often will go home and see them. I know that whenever I go home, there will always be sweets in the house, there will always be some kind of home baking, and I end up binge eating while I’m not in the environment I have control over.  I can’t control what is in my parents house, so how can I go there, have a treat if that’s what I desire, but not spiral into a scarcity mindset, eat everything knowing that I am only at my parents for a short time and will go home back to my controlled environment that doesn’t have such a breadth of choice of food I know aren’t good for me… physically and mentally! I would love to hear your view, or even the topic raised through one of your podcasts! It’s a barrier I am determined to overcome this, but feel a bit stuck!" Join Vibe Club
