    When Weight Loss Doesn’t Alleviate “Weight Worry” – In Session with Marc David

    When Weight Loss Doesn’t Alleviate “Weight Worry” – In Session with Marc David

    When it comes to body weight, most of us are focused on one thing: losing it!
    But many people aren’t prepared for what happens after weight loss. 
    Any thoughts we may have about post-weight loss life are pretty dreamy. We imagine we’ll feel uber confident, accomplished, and ready to boldly move forward in life. 
    But all too often, that simply isn’t the case. 
    For many, the striving and struggle for weight loss ends up getting replaced by an equally unwelcome visitor: WEIGHT WORRY.
    That can look like constant fear that we’ll gain the weight back, or nagging anxieties that we really should lose another few pounds. 
    Our food worries continue, and the voices in our head never stop criticizing. We judge our body, we shame ourselves for having body fat, and we belittle ourselves for not having absolute control over food.
    While weight worry might fit into that box called a “1st world problem” – it can nevertheless be pretty debilitating. 
    So what do we do when losing weight doesn’t stop us from worrying about weight?
    Tune into this episode to find the answer.
    You’ll hear from guest coaching client, Armine, 51, who has dieted for most of her life – and recently lost weight after a gastric sleeve operation. Armine thought she’d feel happier, but instead is often consumed by intense anxiety that she’ll gain the weight back. 
    How can Armine shift into a new relationship with her body, where she’s not constantly worrying and fretting about her weight?
    As Marc David helps Armine see, it’s a question of how she finds peace with herself and her body. Through a powerful new approach focused on personal growth, embodiment, and self-compassion, Armine discovers how to reframe her lifelong struggles with weight – and forge a beautiful new path forward. 
    Some of the key episode highlights include:
    ✅ How to send the body the unmistakable message that it’s a safe and welcome place, and why that matters when it comes to weight worry.
    ✅ Using a favorite form of “embodiment” to quiet the mind.
    ✅ Let go of perfection through the power of the Queen archetype.
    ✅ A key breathing technique to shift energy out of the mind and into the body.
    This fascinating session demonstrates that weight loss by itself doesn’t guarantee inner peace and happiness. Freeing ourselves from weight worry ultimately comes down to living in joy – which is a daily practice we devote ourselves to, no matter how we look or what we weigh.

    Harnessing the Power of Conscious Ritual to Overcome Binge Eating – In Session with Marc David

    Harnessing the Power of Conscious Ritual to Overcome Binge Eating – In Session with Marc David

    Night-time binge eating. 
    It’s a pastime that many people struggle with, and can feel truly insurmountable.
    But nightly binge eating doesn’t have to get the best of you. 
    The reality is, there’s a clear road to recovering our power and being in control with food – all that’s needed is a deeper understanding of why nighttime binge eating – otherwise known as “nighttime eating syndrome” – happens, and a wise framework for overcoming it.
    In this episode, we meet guest coaching client, Megan, who would like to finally break free from this challenging nighttime habit. 
    As a former fitness competitor, Megan spent many years on a low-calorie diet. Eating only 1,200 calories a day, and exercising extremely hard, Megan would find herself ravenous at night. And this would inevitably lead to giving into unwanted cravings – and heavy duty self-rejection.
    Years later, Megan is no longer competing, and isn’t so restrictive with her diet. She eats well, and takes care of her body. And yet, she hasn’t been able to kick her nightly binge eating … a habit that takes a full 2 hours every night snacking, munching, and roaming the kitchen for food.
    Disempowered and deflated, Megan feels like a failure with food.
    As Marc David helps Megan see – it’s understandable given her history that she’s having a hard time kicking her nightly binging. Bringing compassion and self-awareness to the table is the first step in transforming nighttime eating syndrome.
    The next step is identifying an effective approach that addresses the root problem.
    And that’s where things get really interesting in this episode!
    Marc offers Megan a soulful, unusual approach to healing binge eating that you won’t hear anywhere else.
    So, please be sure to tune into this powerful episode to discover this beautiful tool in overcoming binge eating! Marc gets to the heart of why we eat at night, and how to gently transform it without the fight or struggle. 
    Some of the key insights & practices you’ll learn:
    ✅ The concept of “conscious ritual” – and why it matters.
    ✅ Identifying nourishing nightly rituals that powerfully transform binge eating.
    ✅ The relationship between “fast eating” and nighttime cravings
    ✅ The counterintuitive need to stop fighting and criminalizing nighttime eating.
    ✅ Learning to trust pleasure & how to make friends with food.
    ✅ And much more…

    Why Becoming a “Natural” Eater is Key to Weight Loss – In Session with Marc David

    Why Becoming a “Natural” Eater is Key to Weight Loss – In Session with Marc David

    Like so many of us, Cherie, age 56, wants to lose 20 pounds – but without the constant fight and struggle. Cherie has been battling these 20 pounds just about all her adult life – and she’s feeling ready for a new approach.
    Cherie’s kids are about to leave the house, and she’d like to focus on her life for the first time in many years. She dreams of letting go of her day job and taking on an exciting new career, and she knows that now’s the time to step into her power. Everything is falling into place for Cherie to take a big leap in life. 
    But her weight continues to weigh her down.
    In this week’s episode, Marc David coaches Cherie to finally have a breakthrough with her weight. And it’s all about focusing on this one weight loss secret:
    ➡️ Becoming a natural eater.
    You see, Cherie has been a rather *unnatural* eater. Since age 13 when she was a young gymnast, her life revolved around working out, looking trim, having very little body fat, and winning the approval of others. For young Cherie, food quickly became the enemy. Eat too much of it, and everyone will notice your extra body fat. Starve yourself, and you’re doing exactly what you need to do to keep being loved and successful.
    Unfortunately, Cherie has taken this same unnatural relationship with food that developed during childhood into her adult years. She has no idea what it’s like to truly enjoy food and not be on a diet.
    As their conversation unfolds, Cherie opens up to what being a natural eater might feel like, including:
    ✅ Making friends with food.
    ✅ Letting go of the inner bully that’s beating herself up around weight.
    ✅ Allowing herself to feel hungry, eat a meal, and enjoy it. 
    ✅ Stop looking at food like it’s going to become fat on her body.
    ✅ Give dieting a long vacation. 
    ✅ Listen to her body’s wisdom when it comes to food.
    As this episode explores, having an honest and sustainable approach to weight loss means that we need to look beyond dieting, calorie restriction, and self attack. Instead, finding a natural rhythm as an eater, finding nourishment in food, and discovering what our individual body needs is key.
    When we’ve been trying weight loss strategies for decades and they continue to fail us, it’s time for a new approach. Tune into this fascinating session and watch as Cherie realizes why her approach to weight loss hasn’t worked, and how she can have a whole new and inspiring weight loss journey.

    Why Self-Discipline Can’t Fix All Our Weight Loss Woes – In Session with Marc David

    Why Self-Discipline Can’t Fix All Our Weight Loss Woes – In Session with Marc David

    Raelene, 46, would love to lose about 40 kilos. And she’s had great success in the past: all she has to do is eliminate sugar, cut down on the carbs, watch her calories and portion sizing, and the weight will eventually come off.
     But the problem is, she just can’t seem to stick to a diet plan for more than a few months. 
     A cooking teacher and mother of two, Raelene says she simply doesn’t have the discipline to stick with it. And after 15 years of off-and-on-again dieting, Raelene still hasn’t reached the promised land – and like so many of us, is pretty frustrated and confused about what to do.
     This is clearly a conundrum.
     She knows what she needs to do, but she just doesn’t have the discipline to do it.
     In this episode, Marc David helps Raelene realize something important:
     Diagnosing the cause of her weight challenges as a lack of self-discipline is misplaced. And we know that to be true, in part, because her many years of trying to simply muster more discipline hasn’t been working. Discipline by itself will never solve her weight loss problem.
     The reality is, Raelene hasn’t been in the right conversation with herself, all because of an incorrect assessment she made about herself many years ago.
     As you’ll hear in this episode, Marc helps Raelene refocus on the true heart of the matter:
     ⇒ Understanding what’s truly driving her relationship with food (her eating psychology), and changing her core beliefs about food, weight, self-worth, and lovability. 
     So many of us focus on our weight from a place of judgment. But we deserve so much more than that. When we can bravely learn to step away from our harsh inner critic, and instead evoke compassion towards ourselves, we can discover what’s really behind our patterns with weight. 
     For Raelene, part of that is understanding the impact of what she learned in childhood about weight loss: she was a “good” girl only if she was slender. Fat girls would never be loved and accepted. 
     It’s no wonder that food became a source of anxiety, and the simple act of eating took on so much stress and pressure. If being overweight means being unlovable, then everything she eats must be just right, and her appetite must be in absolute control so she can finally receive love.
     But the reality is, Raelene knows deep down inside that this is a battle she can never truly win. So a part of her rebels against dieting because her dieting is being driven from a place of low self worth. Eating to prove one’s self worth is unnatural, and it goes against our humanity and our dignity.
     Marc helps Raelene see the beautiful truth that she is unconditionally loved by her kids, her husband, and the people who care about her the most. There is no one in her life who needs her to lose weight so she can be more lovable. Except for herself. 
     And it’s time to give herself some love when it comes to her body and her weight.
     Episode highlights:
     Eating psychology tools to help change unhelpful beliefs about food and body How to take the pressure off of weight loss, while also setting ourselves up for weight loss success
    How to shift out of dieting mentality
    Discovering who you are as an eater, and why that matters when it comes to weight
    How to quiet the unwanted inner conversation around food
    And more…

    When Body Insecurities Cause Us to Date the Wrong People – In Session with Marc David

    When Body Insecurities Cause Us to Date the Wrong People – In Session with Marc David

    Barbara, 60, is finally ready to explore the world, go on adventures, and find the man of her dreams. She’s done lots of therapy, read all the books, and it seems like nothing should be in the way.
    But something is clearly holding her back. 
     A lifetime of dieting and disliking her body, and a string of unfortunate dating experiences in the past has her majorly doubting herself. Barbara so deeply wants to move on and create the life she feels like she’s long overdue for – but there’s part of her that is having a really hard time trusting that it’s possible.
     For all of us who struggle with weight and body image, this can be an all-too familiar story.
     What do we do when we’re ready to embrace life, but we feel held back by negative constructs about our body, our weight, and our past? How do we heal patterns that have been around for decades? And how do we find trust in life when we’ve been previously hurt? 
     In this episode, Marc David identifies some of the hidden forces at work that are driving Barbara’s confusion, and delivers some powerful advice to help her take a big step forward. 
     At the core of Barbara’s challenge is a lack of confidence in herself, and her body – which are intimately entwined. To help Barbara find her confidence and self assuredness, Marc focuses on a surprising area: cultivating her dating and relationship skills.
     Previously, Barbara wasn’t clear about what she wanted, and what she was willing to put up with when it came to dating men. But as Marc helps her to see, it’s time to bring clarity to this important part of her life. 
     Using the powerful frame of our eating archetypes (or inner personas that drive our life and relationship with food) – Barbara realizes that her inner Child Archetype has often been the one making her decisions. But as Marc shares, it’s Barbara’s Queen Archetype that is best suited to help her find her inner confidence and choose the right partner. 
     When our inner Queen or King Archetype is leading the way, we can finally transform our lives through the maturity and self-knowing that these personas represent … and make the very best decisions for our life and relationships.
     Episode highlights:
    ✅ How our relationship with food often reflects our intimate relationships.
    ✅ How developing dating and relationship mastery can help us transform old insecurities into massive self-confidence.
    ✅ Why listening to your dating intuition is essential to finding the right partner. 
    ✅ Owning the power of “no” without needing to apologize. 
    ✅ How to restore our trust in ourselves, our body, and our relationship with food.

    Tempted to Take a Break from Weight Loss But Afraid of What Will Happen? –In Session with Marc David

    Tempted to Take a Break from Weight Loss But Afraid of What Will Happen? –In Session with Marc David

    If you’ve been dieting for many years, you know it can get to be a little “much.” Chronic dieting can leave us frustrated, exhausted, and exasperated. Why does something so simple – weight loss – have to be so hard?
     Millions of people around the world are realizing that they’re just plain tired of dieting. So much so that an increasing number of people are deciding to take a break from weight loss altogether. 
     But taking a diet break doesn’t alleviate the very real fear that many of us experience: that the second we stop dieting, we’re going to gain weight. 
     In this episode, Marc David works with Stephanie, 47, who has taken a 1-year break from weight loss – but has gained a stone (about 14 pounds) during that time, and is afraid she’ll only gain more. 
     Nevertheless, she’s given herself this time to move away from “weight loss at all costs” to approaching her weight from a mindset perspective, and doing all the reading and learning she can from self-help experts like Dr. Kristin Neff and Brene Brown. 
     As Stephanie shares, she’s at an inflection point. She’s been dieting since she was a teenager, often with the help of slimming clubs that are popular in the U.K. She became so disenchanted by her experience in the weight loss world, that she knows she can’t go back. 
     She believes that her spiritual path lies in trusting her body and accepting it the way it is – but three decades of dieting have lodged deep-seated fears around weight gain. 
     Stephanie asks, “What can I do to overcome the conditioned fear of weight gain?”
     Regardless of where we’re at with our weight, this is one of the very best questions we can ask of ourselves. Because the truth is, we may want to lose weight … but deep down, we’re wanting to love and accept ourselves even more.
     Episode highlights:
     ✅ Why finding the right foundation for ourselves as a person – one based on our true value instead of our weight – is so important.
    ✅ Why it’s unrealistic to think you’ll 100% accept yourself one day – and why allowing yourself to be imperfect can help you heal and grow. 
    ✅ How our collective judgment around weight clouds the notion of what it means to be truly healthy.
    ✅ Why BMI science is outdated, and can contribute to our weight gain fears. 
    ✅ The interplay between “self” and “self-improvement” and why we need to sometimes let go and allow ourselves to simply “be.”
