The Power of Keeping Promises to Yourself with Allison Sellner The Unstuck Yourself Podcast

Meet Allison.
An OBGYN in the Houston, Texas area who has been dieting for nearly two decades. 
Having started her first diet around the age of 12 at the recommendation of her Mother, Allison developed a collection of habits and a relationship with food that drained her mentally, emotionally, and physically. 
Despite knowing what to do, Allison continued to get in her own way. She’d start and stop various diets only to end up back where she started. 
During her residency, she experienced an infertility diagnosis, two rounds of IVF treatment, and a miscarriage - as if the stress of residency wasn’t enough. Inevitably, something had to give…
That something was Allison prioritizing herself and her own self-care, which led to her weight, frustration, and unhappiness being at an all-time high shortly before she joined The 5% Community.
Listen in to hear how dramatically Allison’s life has changed (inside and out!) since she joined The 5% Community in mid-2022. She’s not only lost nearly 20 pounds and countless inches, but has recaptured a newfound level of self-confidence, self-belief, and consistency in her life.

Episode Key Highlights:
“When I joined The 5% Community, my weight was at an absolute all-time high. And I was just at a place of desperation and honestly, kind of hopelessness and feeling like I needed something to work. I, like so many women who joined the program, have been dieting, honestly, as sad as it sounds, probably since the age of 12 or 13.”

“So it was definitely bleeding into just my overall confidence in myself in general. I think that manifested in kind of confidence within my marriage, confidence that I was being the doctor that I needed to be, as well as just my relationships with friends and family, because it was just an ongoing preoccupation that I had with food. And I joke that labor and delivery in the hospital is just a landmine of temptation and triggering foods in abundance.

But it's so true. And I meant to look up the statistics. I know it's like 50% of nurses are overweight and obese, but I think it's like a quarter to a third of doctors are also overweight in obese.” “Yeah, I mean I think that's really the key. Like you said at the beginning of the podcast, this is simple, but it's not easy. And I feel like I really kind of dove in into building all of those foundational habits, which I think is the hardest part. It takes a lot of consistency and habit formation, but then I have been kind of amazed at once you put those in place, how simple it is after that.
