Transforming Your Relationship with Food and Your Body: Overcoming Self-Sabotage, Shame, and Perfectionism for Sustainable Weight Loss w/ Jess Reid
My guest today is Jess Reid. Jess is a weight loss and personal development coach specializing in ketogenic nutrition. She was also recognized as one of the Top Personal Development Coaches by Coach Foundation. In this episode, we discuss how to help women heal their relationship with food, weight, and body image. We also explore why it can be so difficult to change our behaviors long-term and how our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs play a big role in our behaviors.
We dive into the importance of self-care, self-soothing, and the idea that not all coping mechanisms are created equal. It’s about identifying which ones are helpful and which are harmful and finding new ways to care for ourselves.
Highlights:
- The foundation of weight loss and how it can be used as a tool to help break the cycle of self-sabotage, shame, and pain.
- The conditioned beliefs that women have about food, weight, and body image, and how they can limit us in our weight loss journey.
- The all-or-nothing mentality that many people have when it comes to diet and nutrition.
- How perfectionism and restriction can be replaced with a more sustainable mindset that encourages a holistic and mindful approach to weight loss.
