Ep. 41: It's Not Just About Losing Those 5-10lbs

The Anti-Macro Podcast

On my coaching application, I ask what are your goals. Oftentimes what I see is, “I want to lose 5-10lbs”. It’s always this magic number, this magic range of 5-10lbs.

What I know you’re thinking is, “If I just lose these 5-10lbs I’ll be so much happier in my body,” but I want to talk about why that is not entirely the case.

Your desire to lose weight is valid and I am in no way saying that I do not take that goal seriously. I do truly understand that you are unhappy in your skin and you feel uncomfortable, but I do want to share insight into why you believe that is the sole solution and why I still have happy clients when not all of them reach their quote-unquote goal weight.

In this episode, I dig into:

• What goal you actually want to achieve and how weight loss is not the way to go about doing so
• How reaching this goal will not guarantee you will be happy in your body
• How diet culture has manipulated you into fixating on the scale and tying a number to your worth
• The mindset work I do with my clients to help them overcome their attachment to weight loss and the scale
• How following fitspo is not as motivating as you think

If you’re interested in discussing what embarking on a different health journey would look like, I am currently accepting 1:1 clients. I’d be happy to discuss your goals even if they are weight loss but also dive into your goals around your relationship with food and your body so that way we can truly create a path of healing for you. If that’s something you’re interested in pursuing, you can DM me on Instagram “1:1 coaching” and I’ll walk you through what to expect.
