#142: This One's Gonna Hurt, But Hanging Onto Those Clothes That Fit You 10 Years Ago Won't Magically Make Your Body Smaller Now

Rebuilding Trust With Your Body

Do you have old clothes in your closet that no longer fit, but you’re hoping that you’ll lose some weight and be able to wear them again?

Have you ever bought something in a smaller size that you currently wear to use it as “motivation” to lose weight? Perhaps a smaller bathing suit for an upcoming vacation, or you ordered your wedding dress a size smaller than you are now?

Well, I hate to tell ya, but purchasing and holding onto clothes that are too small isn’t a magic potion for weight loss. (In fact, it’s a recipe for failure - and I don’t use that word lightly.)

In this episode we’re not just digging into your closet - we’re digging into your BELIEFS about your body. Grab your pen and paper, and maybe a sparkling water, and let’s unpack your clothes AND your body image.
