Mom Inspired Show with Amber Sandberg
Are you “white knuckling” with your diet? Amber Sandberg: 324
Are you wanting to stop white knuckling with your eating?
Today, I am going to be talking about why white knuckling can feel like we are creating resistance when it comes to weight loss. If we can allow our brains to think urges are normal then it allows for us to feel less judgmental about those urges. If you can think about about holding a beach ball under the water that would feel like white knuckling. With all your might you are keeping that ball under the water and all it wants to do is pop back up. So when it comes to our thoughts with white knuckling it could look like " this shouldn't be happening" which then creates resistance. If you could think about the beach ball and you would never say " this shouldn't be happening" to the ball wanting to pop up out of the water, you know that a beach ball is not goin to stay underwater even when we are pushing it down it wants to come back up. Just like diet mentality, it wants to creep back in and our brain wants to go back to what we used to do in hopes that it will work this time. Many times that looks like white knuckling and just doing whatever it takes to get the weight off even if it's not sustainable. Hear what I have to say about this topic and more on the podcast.
Do you feel stuck, do you want to leave counting calories and dieting behind? Do you feel you like you can achieve so much in life but your weight loss? Do you feel like you spend so much energy thinking about how to lose weight, what to eat, and if you can even keep the weight off once you get to goal? I know for me that was the case before 2019 when I lost over 50lbs and kept it off and I want to help you lose weight the way that I did! I want to help you figure out why the weight is a symptom for something else going in your life, cause did you know, that weight gain is not usually based off of hunger issues, its not being fulfilled in other areas of life so we go for food for a quick dopamine hit or a quick fix. So, if you want to figure out how live life without worrying about what you are going to eat at the party, when you are on vacation and when you are staying in other people's homes without gaining weight then this session is for you.
How it works is you jump on a 30 min. mini coaching session with me, we come up with a plan right then and there so you can implement it the moment we get off our zoom call. If you decide that you want to work that plan with me and have that weekly accountability for several months and dive deep to figure out what is really holding you back we can do that too. But there is no pressure to do that, if you just want to jump on and chat with me and get a plan to get you started that is perfect. These mini coaching sessions are my way to give back to you guys, so I hope you take advantage of it.
