What My Therapist Said

I hired a therapist named Carolyn to help me lose weight.

One day I told Carolyn that in my dream life I’d hire a personal chef to deliver 3 perfectly healthy meals to me.  Then I’d just eat those meals and – presto – I’d lose weight.

Maybe you’ve had this thought too.

Carolyn often said this:

It’s not about the food…

 

…To which I’d roll my eyes and wonder when we’d stop rehashing my past and when she was gonna help me lose weight already.  

Back then – It’s not about the food – never made sense to me at the time.  Mostly because food and dieting was all I ever thought about.

 

5 years later I hired Lisa, a life coach who added onto that sentence:

It’s not about the food, but it’s also not, not about the food.

 

***Before we carry on, I’m not knocking therapy or putting life coach as better than.  They both have their time and place.***

 

During both my therapy and coaching sessions I was in such a hurry to lose weight – so that I could just feel better and get on with my life –  that I didn’t digest it at the time … but Carolyn was right, and Lisa was even more right.

 

Here’s what I’ve grown to understand:

It’s not about the food: 85% of weight loss is uncovering the root issue leading to overeating and then learning the skills of stopping.

 

It’s not, not about the food: the other 15% is about understanding how to fuel your unique body.

 

The main reason you’re overweight is simple: you eat more than your body requires – not every once in a while – but on a consistent basis.

If, like me, you’ve dreamt of having the world’s most nutritious, calorie-controlled, wholesome meals delivered to your door – it might make losing weight easier and more convenient, but it wouldn’t solve the entire problem.

This is why diets fail 98% of the time:

They aren’t designed to solve for the 85%.

 

And when I say fail I don’t mean a diet can’t help you lose weight.

Pick any diet.  

Follow it perfectly, and you’ll lose weight.

When I say fail I mean that I’ve yet to meet a woman who’s lost weight on the above and kept it off permanently and peacefully, without obsession.

 

> The 85% was the work I had to do first to lose 25 pounds permanently and peacefully.

> When I did this work the 15% basically took care of itself.

> This is the work I now do with my private weight-loss clients.

 

Today imagine a bigger dream than the perfect diet or perfect meals delivered to your door.

Imagine overcoming the 85%.

 

This is 100% possible for you:

… a life where you no longer worry about overeating, falling off the wagon, whether there’s gonna be donuts in the break room, or if the weight’ll come back when Christmas hits.
