#16 - Emotions to help you lose weight

  In today’s episode we take another look at emotion.   So many women tell me how desperate they are to lose weight and then say that the reason that they can’t do it, is because they don’t feel motivated.   Emotional awareness is an import part of the work that I do with clients because emotions are the reasons for everything that we want or don’t want to do in life, everything that we want to have or not have.   And it’s important because it will be hard to figure out your emotional eating patterns without a good understanding of what emotions are, why you feel them and how they impact what’s going on for you. And if you’re overeating it will be because food means more to you, than just being a source of fuel and nourishment for your body.   So today explore what emotions we think we need to be feeling to help us get started with a weight loss program or healthy eating regime, and we look at how you can create those emotions on purpose.   And we explore alternative emotions that you may not automatically think of as being useful to you and which could hold the answer to being successful in your weight loss efforts no matter how many times you think you’ve failed before.}   About Clair:   CLAIR MACKENZIE IS A LIFE & WEIGHT COACH WHO HELPS FEMALE PROFESSIONALS AND ENTREPRENEURS LOSE WEIGHT BY TRANSFORMING THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD AND THEMSELVES FOR LIFE   Clair’s uses an array of coaching tools and techniques to help women, who are done with dieting, take control of their eating whilst increasing their self-belief and self-worth.   “There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone overcome their detrimental relationship with food so that they can thrive in optimal physical and mental wellbeing.”   After overcoming decades of struggling with her own weight and losing 6 stone Clair used her experience and coaching qualifications to create her two programmes; ‘Lose Weight.
