Listing to Your Internal Cues And Losing Weight Post-Pregnancy

When you're focused on weight loss you forget to listen to your own internal cues. In this episode, Linda shares with you the story of her final pregnancy and how she reacted when her weight loss journey got harder. Learn how to listen to your body, beat feelings of shame and guilt and why negative emotions only make reaching your goals harder. 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 

• When you're focused on tracking your weight loss you start to rely on the app and not your own metabolism. You don't rely on your own internal cues such as sleep, hunger, energy or even your mood. Your sole focus becomes losing weight and even if that's just water, you lose all self-compassion and end up with shame and guilt when weight is put on.

 

• Feelings of shame, guilt and comparisons are negative emotions driven from dealing with issues with body image. These issues often occur from childhood experiences and ultimately affect your energy, how you act and your relationships with food, family and health. 

 

• When you're actively practising deprivation you're unaware in your mind of the effects it's having on your body. When you're in a cycle of dieting you fluctuate between deprivation and overindulgence and only when you discover the root cause can you break free from the cycle.

 

BEST MOMENTS 

“My metabolism had basically stopped responding naturally after my first two children”

“Our emotions can be driven from the fact you've been dealing with body image issues you're whole life.”

“Once you experience negative emotions they're perpetuated and everything becomes harder.”
