Summary

In this episode, Sandee Sgarlata explores the profound connection between unresolved emotions, past trauma, and weight loss. She shares her personal journey with food and weight, emphasizing that the emotional baggage we carry can significantly impact our physical health. Sandee discusses the role of the unconscious mind in shaping our behaviors and patterns, particularly in relation to emotional eating and self-sabotage. She highlights the importance of self-awareness, forgiveness, and reprogramming our thoughts to achieve lasting change in our weight loss journeys. Takeaways The weight we need to lose may not be physical. Emotional baggage can sabotage weight loss efforts. The unconscious mind controls our behaviors 90% of the time. Self-awareness is crucial for identifying emotional weight. Forgiveness is essential in the healing process. Reprogramming thoughts can lead to lasting change. Weight loss is an emotional, mental, and spiritual journey. Cortisol levels affect metabolism and cravings. Chronic stress can hinder healthy weight regulation. You are not broken; you are protecting yourself.
