More Than a Number | Sustainable Weight Loss, Healthy Eating for Weight Loss, Mindful Eating for Weight Loss, Weight Loss for

Have you been weight watching since the womb? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Are you tired of feeling like weight loss has become a full-time job? Tired of starting over every Monday, trying to follow another plan perfectly, and wondering why something that seems like it should be simple feels so dang complicated? Welcome to More Than a Number. I'm Sam — a registered dietitian nutritionist, certified specialist in obesity and weight management, and a woman who has maintained a nearly 200-pound weight loss for almost two decades after gastric bypass surgery. And if there's one thing I've learned both personally and professionally, it's this: Sustainable weight loss doesn't need to be so complicated. There is SO much information out there about what to eat, how to exercise, when to eat, what not to eat, how much protein you need, what your hormones are supposedly doing, what supplements you need, what diet you should be following... it's exhausting. My job is to simplify the science. I want to take the evidence-based nutrition and weight-management science, get rid of all the noise, and help you understand what actually matters — and, more importantly, how to make it work in your actual life. Because this is about so much more than food. We're going to talk about nutrition and healthy eating, absolutely. But we're also going to talk about stress, sleep, movement, mindful eating, emotional eating, behavior change, relationships, grief, body image, and all the other pieces of being a human that don't magically disappear because you decided you want to lose weight. I'm not here to give you another rigid plan to follow perfectly. I'm here to help you build the skills, habits and awareness that support sustainable weight loss and a healthier life — even when life gets messy. We'll simplify the science. We'll get curious instead of judgmental. We'll talk about what works on paper and what actually works in real life. And we'll keep reminding ourselves that our health, our worth and our lives have always been about so much more than a number. Pull up a chair, friend. Let's go. ⚓ ******************************************************************************************************************************* Ready for more personalized support? 30 Days to Thrive is my one-on-one coaching experience designed to help you stop guessing and start building the nutrition, movement, rest and stress-management habits that actually fit your life. thrive.theanchorednutrition.com  Want to stay connected?
