This is Primal Potential and I am your host, Elizabeth Benton.

Through education, motivation, and implementation, we will bridge the gap between knowing and

doing so we can master fat loss naturally and help you reach your highest potential.

Let's get started.

Hey, hey everybody, welcome back to the Primal Potential podcast.

I am your host, Elizabeth Benton and today we're going to get kind of personal.

We're going to get deep into some of the emotional barriers, the emotional baggage that holds us

back from losing weight.

And I had sent out an email a while back that I I feel like needed some additional broader

exposure for the benefit of the primary message, the benefit of what I think can be a game

changer for so many people who have wondered how can I want this so bad but not do the work?

Or why do I keep letting myself down?

Why can't I be consistent?

Right? I want to talk to everybody who is struggling with their weight or struggling with self-control

or struggling with moderation in anything, whether that's food or alcohol or drugs or sex or

television or anything. And you know, I've shared this before, I had to learn these lessons the

hard way. I had to learn the hard way that I was using food. I was avoiding the actual issues

in my life and I thought that food was the issue. I thought my weight was the issue and for most

of my life, honest to God I would have outright denied that there was any other problem.

I would have argued with you that the sole problem, the reason I wasn't happy, the reason I was

depressed, the reason whatever was because of my weight. I was certain it was a food thing, right?

I just thought I love to eat and I can't control myself. I really thought that's what it was all about.
