Weight Loss Hang Ups During Menopause
Episode 18 Show Notes
Traci talks about the things that happen during our weight loss journey while on menopause, how we feel about ourselves and how to manage the internal demons coming at us even while we are having success with losing weight.
In this episode, Traci shares:
1. Why the spreading culture of women hating their bodies is outright wrong and dangerous.
2. How this negative self-talks are sending us to a voracious cycle of depression and panic.
3. Our body is changing and sometimes we cannot do anything about it. But it is not the end of the line for us.
4. How our psychology and perspective of ourselves can impact our bodies more then we realize.
5. Why menopause is not really something we need to feel disgusted about.
Quotes:
“Women feel gross, they feel fat, and they feel awful about their bodies… and having this negative self-talk is not serving us.”
“We have this culture which tells us that we need to be dissatisfied with ourselves.”
“When we gain weight, we essentially tell ourselves it’s our fault. That there is something inherently wrong with us.”
“Our bodies are changing. Period. The way you define that change is going to be how you navigate this. “
“If you keep telling yourself that you hate your body, your brain and body will act in accordance to that.”
“Where we put our energy is what happens.”
“We need to start living in a world, in a body, in a place where we can be fully complete.”
“We can stand up for ourselves, but we need to believe it for ourselves first.”
“The more you love yourself, the easier it is to lose weight. Because it is easier to make the choices that are best for you.”
“We have turned menopause into this big, awful, ugly secret – but it is not.”
