#19: Self Sabotage, Resistance & Fleeing From Health

Hello Body Freedom

You try to do the healthy thing, you start to make some progress, and then BAM! You're back to old self-sabotaging behaviors around food and body. You might even think something's wrong with you since everyone else seems to have it figured out. How can you want to improve your health, and at the same time self-sabotage your best efforts?

Maybe you're in a really good space and then you do something completely mindless and put yourself back to square one. One step forward, five steps back. In my line of work, we call this fleeing from health. We are literally running away from having goodness in our life that we so desire. Spoiler Alert: There's nothing wrong with you, it's just that there's some deeper work that still needs some processing.

In today's episode we're going to talk about:

• The underlying (deeper) reason why you "flee from health" and sabotage health and weight loss goals (even though you want it so bad!)
• How the thing you're resisting is likely exactly what you need! (So let me show you how to move through it...)
• The very first steps out of this hell so you can stop getting in your own way.
• How the totally free 5-day Food & Body Freedom Challenge can help with this!
• And soooo much more!
