We talk a lot about the fear of weight gain on this path, which we are all very familiar with (to read more on that topic, check out this post). What we don’t often talk about is the fear of weight LOSS.
Could you be afraid of losing weight? (It sounds weird, right?)
Because we all know that weight gain fear like the back of our hands.
What if people notice my weight gain?
I’ll just die if someone comments on how much weight I’ve gained.
What if these people (who I haven’t seen in a while) think I look awful?
We all have those fears running through our minds.
But could you also be afraid of losing weight?
It sounds odd, as we typically think that weight loss is what we really want. (“I just want my body to be at it’s natural weight! Is that too much to ask?!)
Could there be some deep-seeded fear about what would happen if you DID actually settle at a comfortable weight?
Or maybe when you’ve lost weight, you’ve panicked and felt that control & desire to restrict come back into your life.
No matter where you are on your path, these 5 fears around losing weight can sabotage your progress & keep you stuck.
So listen on in to today’s podcast! (There will also be a part two of this episode, so stay tuned for that!)
