Weight Loss Your Way Norma Frahn

Have you ever thought about your relationship with food? Just like people, it can be complicated. Today, we explore how to change your relationship with food and how to compassionately partner with your emotional eating behaviors so that you can create meaningful, lifelong change. But will the time spent changing your relationship with food be enough to lastingly overcome the overpowering urges of emotional eating and fill the void with something other than food?
“The time you spend noticing and paying attention to the role food is playing in your life will be the most valuable time spent”. - Norma Frahn

If you're feeling frustrated and a little helpless from constantly trying to control your eating habits, but struggling with yo-yo dieting, repeated binges, and feeling like you're never able to make lasting progress, then you are not alone!
In this episode, I apply the process of change I shared in the previous episode to the important concept of your relationship with food and achieving sustainable weight loss. The way you think about food and make food choices can shape the experience you have while working towards weight loss.
To break the cycle of dieting and repeating the same things over and over again, it is important to change your relationship with weight loss by changing the way you think about food.
“Change will happen so much quicker when you do the work that actually enriches your life and makes it bigger and brighter instead of keeping you hidden and isolated”. - Norma Frahn
Key Takeaways
Take time to reflect on your relationship with food and the role it plays in your life.
Instead of focusing on weight loss, try to understand the role of food in your life.
Practice eating foods that you may have labeled as "good" or "bad" without feeling guilty or ashamed.
Find ways to take a break and find relief in your day that don't involve food.
Fill your life with happiness and joy that don't always revolve around food.
Make intentional decisions that prioritize giving your body what it needs and wants most of the time, while also allowing yourself to sometimes enjoy food purely for pleasure.

The biggest myth of diet culture is that there is a right and wrong way to approach weight loss, and that you can achieve quick and easy results by blindly following someone else's rules.
Weight Loss Your Way is about taking full responsibility for yourself and your process and understanding that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. There are hundreds weight loss tools available to you, but they are not enough to achieve sustainable results; they must be combined with inner work of changing how you think. Weight Loss Your Way is about trusting yourself and your process, believing that you are capable and worthy of success and happiness, and doing the work to make lasting changes.
"You have permission to lose weight your way, no matter what that looks like. There's no right or wrong way. Diet culture made that up. There's only your way."
In this episode, you will learn the following:
What is the "Weight Loss Your Way" approach to moving through change?
How can self-love and self-confidence develop while you lose weight?
What is the "Change Framework" for weight loss and how can it help achieve lasting change?

In this episode, I share my personal journey towards finding balance in my life and how I’m applying the Weight Loss Your Way process to myself. I discuss how I fell into the trap of tunnel vision when it came to my work, and as a result, lost sight of taking care of myself and many of the supporting habits I had created.
I openly share the steps I’m taking to get back on track, starting with figuring out what I want most in my life, beyond weight loss. I also talk about the importance of taking tiny actions to support my goal of balance, and why I'm not focused on weighing myself.
If you want to see what Weight Loss Your Way looks like in action, this very honest and vulnerable episode is a must-listen.
