What are you trying to prove?

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, Deb and I talk about everything from seeking external validation by changing your body and losing weight to realizing that every day is too precious to be wasted on trying to fight your body on a weight loss diet.

Is all the pain really worth the end-result (aka no result as dieting doesn’t work)?

We also encourage you to take a hard look at your motives and ask yourself why you still live your life for other people? How are you trying to prove something by not being who you are and what are you truly getting out of it?

Do you still believe that weight loss will make you fit in, be loved and taken care of? Or are you judging yourself for not being who you think you are, for not doing what you think you’re supposed to do?

If so, it’s time to change your internal representation of who you’re supposed to be into who you really want to be and who you are (in the deepest part of your soul). Stop living on the edge of not dieting and actually start living your life without diets.

Are you ready to stop intellectualizing your daily experience in your body and instead start eating, being and loving what is?

In the end, all you can do is ask yourself: do I want to be miserable and fight my body or do I want to let it go and create true freedom and joy?
