Why Losing Weight for a Big Event is the Wrong Approach | Weight Loss for Foodies Podcast

Have you ever decided to lose weight because a big event was coming?

You’re getting married.

Your high school reunion is a few months away.

Or maybe you’re going to the Caribbean or the beach and can’t avoid putting on a swimsuit.

You want to look your best, so you decide something like, “I need to lose 20 pounds--FAST!”

Then you start some kind of quick-fix diet. You know, like the ones you’ve tried a million times before that haven’t worked.

Maybe you think, “I’ll just cut out carbs for the next few months! I can do that!”

Or “I’ll do Whole 30!”

Losing weight for a big event is a lousy motivator though, and that’s why it rarely works.

Why waste your time and energy losing weight temporarily, especially when yo-yo dieting is unhealthy? 

Listen to learn the importance of motivation and commitment in your weight loss effort, and how to get motivated to succeed over the long term.

  1. I remember lifting weights so that my arms would look better in a sleeveless dress. We all overcompensate sometimes, when day to day good diet and exercise is the only TRUE WAY to go.

Meet Shari

I am passionate about helping women lose weight without dieting by teaching them how to trust their inner wisdom and make peace with food and eating.  I love teaching women how to get off the diet hamster wheel by learning how to eat consciously, stop emotional eating and enjoy foods they love while losing their desire to overeat along with their excess weight.
