Summary

Rhonda, age 53, has dreams of becoming an actress, traveling the world, kayaking, scuba diving, and finding her life partner. But one thing has been holding her back: her weight. Rhonda would like to lose about 100 pounds, weight she slowly gained over the years but has been unable to lose since quitting smoking four years ago.
 
In her coaching session with eating psychology expert Marc David, Rhonda shares that she frequently binge eats as a way to deal with stress, loneliness, and boredom. She has a robust career, managing twenty people in her position, but many of Rhonda's dreams remain unfulfilled. With a lust for life, love, and drama, Rhonda's inner life simply doesn't match her outer life … and she's ready for a big change.
 
As Marc explores, so often we'll wait to live out our dreams and become the "real" us until we've achieved our weight loss goals. But that has too many of us waiting our entire lives, whether we have 10 pounds or 100 to lose. Instead of losing weight, we lose the opportunity to live the life we were meant to live, the one that calls out to our hearts to claim and experience.
 
In this episode, Marc shares the key paradigm shift needed for all of us who have been on the weight loss journey for years or decades. It's a session you won't want to miss…

0:34.5

We are back in the Psychology of Eating podcast. I'm here today with Rhonda. Welcome, Rhonda.

0:43.8

Thank you, Mark. So, Rhonda, the idea is this is like a one-time client session where we get to, you know,

0:49.7

have a conversation together and hopefully move you in the direction or where you want to go. So if you could wave your magic wand, you've got a magic wand, you can wave it and get whatever you wanted with food and body.

0:57.1

What would that be for you?

0:59.1

If I could wave my magic wand, I would eat healthy, improve my A1C, and lose about 100 pounds.

1:12.1

Okay.

1:12.9

So should I assume then that these days you're not eating as healthy as you wish you were?

That is true.

I'm improving.

1:22.2

I'm working on my A1C and I'll be honest with you.

1:25.9

My A1C, I'm a type 2 diabetic. So my blood sugar level is my most

1:31.5

important number. That's more important than my weight right now. Got it. And when were you

1:38.8

diagnosed, did you say a type 2 diabetic? Yes. I was diagnosed about nine years ago.

1:46.7

Uh-huh.

1:47.0

And how have you been treated for that?

1:51.5

Medication, insulin, and working with a dietitian on a regular basis, trying to get that under control. But I'll be

2:04.4

honest, I stopped smoking in 2018. And at that point, my eating just went crazy out of control.
