Today you’ll meet one of my clients Sue. You’ll come away inspired not only by her story and her 50lb weight loss, but her renewed lease on life and refreshing perspective on weight loss. We talk about how she shifted being panicked about hunger to befriending it, how her learning mindset was key to her success and specifically what that looked like in the program. She talks about how she incorporated “natural pleasures” to lower her interest in indulging with food, weight loss as self care rather than punishment and lots more. I hope you see a little of yourself in Sue, recognizing your own dedication, commitment and reverence for your body and your life- and that by listening to this episode all of those qualities are amplified within you.
