How Ditching Diets Can Lead to Empowerment
The Regret Test: A Vision for Your Future
I once read a quote that read something along the lines of… What if you wake up and you’re 75 years old and you never did all of the things you wanted to do? You never swam in the French Riviera because you were embarrassed of your thighs, never pursued your dreams in business because you never felt worthy, spent so many minutes of your life trying not to give in to that slice of pizza or bowl of ice cream?
You’ll regret it. You’ll be kicking yourself that dieting and losing weight became your life’s work. Dont let that be your story, friend.
My mission is to show women, like you, that they can claim their freedom back and live a confident, empowered life full of vitality and never have to worry about a yo yo-ing weight problem again. You see, each one of us is different. No one diet works for everyone and the concept that it does is ridiculous.
You have to learn how to develop a healthy lifestyle that empowers and inspires YOU specifically on a daily basis.
When you switch from “I have to” or “I should” to “I want to” or “I could” everything changes. You’re creating an intense, powerful form of self-respect and the more self-respect you have the easier your healthy choices will feel and be to maintain for life.
Picture this, love: you’ve changed your mindset about food and your body. Each day, you wake up excited to get dressed and feel confident in your skin. You love having your warm cup of lemon water first thing because you know how good it is for you and you crave the way it makes you feel balanced. You greatly look forward to having a delicious, filling and energizing breakfast made up of natural, real food that creates beauty from the inside out.
You are no longer using exercise as punishment for everything your body isn’t, and instead you are moving your body from a place of love to support it for everything that it does to keep you alive and well. When you go out to eat, you no longer feel panic or anxiety about what to order.
You know that if you do choose to indulge you’ll be able to savor and enjoy every bite without thinking about how many calories it is or how long you’ll have to be on the treadmill the next day to work it off. Labeling foods as “good” and “bad”, creating the idea in your mind that indulgences are “cheating” are long gone.
You enjoy your favorite dark chocolate with peppermint tea in the evenings because you know allowing this indulgence into your routine is necessary for you mentally and you’re more than confident in this choice. However, you can happily eat 1-2 pieces and feel totally fulfilled without needing to gorge on the whole bar. And of course, you eat healthy foods with joy and ease, you maintain your now ideal weight without difficulty and practice acts of self-love willingly and with delight.
Making these changes are where the big results happen. This is where you finally rid yourself of the guilt, shame and anxiety around food. This is where you lose weight for good and can finally feel and become the best version of yourself. You can do this.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do most diets fail for women?
Diets usually fail because they rely on restriction and willpower rather than sustainable lifestyle changes. When you deprive yourself, your body eventually fights back, often leading to bingeing and regaining weight. True success comes from empowerment and intuitive eating, not punishing yourself!
How can I stop emotional eating?
Stopping emotional eating starts with healing your relationship with food. Instead of labeling foods as "good" or "bad," try to understand the emotions driving the hunger. It's about shifting from a mindset of deprivation to one of self-care and balance.
Is it possible to lose weight without dieting?
Absolutely, babe! By adopting a healthy lifestyle that focuses on nourishing whole foods, listening to your body's cues, and moving with love rather than punishment, you can achieve a balanced weight naturally and keep it off for good.
