Summary
Weight loss can be very challenging for many people, and sometimes it becomes an obsession. Counting calories, trying fad diets, and hours in the gym. This is all in the pursuit of perfect bodies.
But, it's time to take a step back and talk about something equally important - what happens when we stop obsessing about these things? What happens when we stop thinking about weight loss and stop feeling like we constantly need to change our body?
This is the second part of the two-part series of Embrace Your Real podcast, "What Happens When You Stop Obsessing About Weight Loss". In this episode, I'm sharing 6 things that changed in my life once I stopped obsessing about weight loss.
What I discuss:
4. I'm happy.
5. I'm More Confident
6. I'm no longer ruled by guilt and shame.
