Summary
What if you didn't attach emotion to food?
What if your days weren't "good" if you made good food choices and "bad" if you made bad food choices?
What if you never felt guilty about a food choice or skipped workout?
What would that mean?
Would it mean that you stop trying?
I really doubt it.
I think it means that you've found freedom. And, when you find freedom, food choices get so much easier and life gets better.
You are in control. Food isn't in control.
That's exactly what happened for Amanda and she's sharing her story today.

Ending Food Guilt & Creating Freedom
Amanda had already lost 80 lbs but still wasn't happy.
She had food guilt. Workout guilt. Ongoing shame & judgement that was completely exhausting.
However, she found freedom.
She removed all the emotional baggage she had attached to her food & fitness choices.
When she was able to do that, everything got easier: her food choices, her workout consistency, her role as a mom & a wife.
But she's not totally in the clear. Now that she hasn't hitched her happiness to the number on the tag in her jeans, she's trying to define what she wants.
In today's episode we talk about how Amanda found freedom, what it meant for her, and how she can figure out what she's after now and how to get there.

| 0:06.6 | Through education, motivation, and implementation, we will bridge the gap between knowing and |
| 0:13.7 | doing so we can master fat loss naturally and help you reach your highest potential. |
| 0:21.2 | Let's get started. |
| 0:25.2 | Hello everybody and welcome back to the Primal Potential podcast. |
| 0:29.3 | I am Elizabeth Benton and you are in for a really special treat today and that's because |
| 0:37.9 | I am going to be talking to a client of mine on the podcast today and she's pretty incredible. |
| 0:46.2 | So she had lost 80 pounds but still really felt unhappy. |
| 0:53.4 | Still felt stressed about food and really obsessing over good choices or not so good choices. |
| 1:00.6 | Really felt like after losing that much weight she would be happier but she wasn't. |
| 1:06.3 | And she is going to share with you this concept that honestly if you had said this to me a couple |
| 1:11.9 | years ago I wouldn't have understood I wouldn't have thought it was possible for me and that is |
| 1:18.8 | freedom. Not stressing about food choices. Not loading in all of this emotion related to the |
| 1:27.9 | choices you make. I know for me I used to define my days based on if I ate well or not according to |
| 1:35.6 | my assessment right. If I made good food choices it was a good day. If I made bad food choices |
| 1:40.8 | it was a bad day and my emotions were largely dictated by whether or not I worked out |
| 1:47.7 | whether or not I overindulged and so Amanda who's going to be on the show today |
| 1:53.5 | when I asked her what has changed for her recently the word that keeps coming up again and again |
| 2:00.4 | is freedom and that is something that she wasn't able to get from all of these diets and even |
| 2:07.0 | from past weight loss. But what is this idea of freedom what does it mean how do you get it |
| 2:12.7 | is it even possible and I will tell you this for Amanda it was certainly possible. For me it was |
| 2:18.7 | certainly possible but I understand if you're not sure if that's possible for you. Not constantly |
