Season 1
Episode 16
Weight loss is not a goal to task yourself with in order to get yourself to do what you don't want to do. It will be much easier to attach your weight goal to a vivid and compelling version of you who has normalized her relationship with food.
In order to embrace this new version of yourself and start, it can help to say goodbye to the previous version of you so you can step into this new relationship.
Homework: Write a goodbye letter to past you.
Start with gratitude. Validate that version of you and all she went through. Thank her for all that she did, all of her efforts, all of her feelings, and how she continued to show up.
Then tell her how you are different now. Note all of the ways you can think of. Then say goodbye. Tell her that you need to focus on the future and all you now know.
We will ALWAYS create our weight results as a reflection of how we see ourselves (self-identity). So if you want to take your weight loss to the next level, you must start seeing yourself differently to support those changes.
Answer the following journaling prompts to help you flesh out how you start to see yourself when you focus on acting from the future you who has lost the weight.
