Why We Overeat with Maggie Sterling

So much of weight loss is unlearning old habits, beliefs and patterns. When we come into it with our old baggage, its hard to learn new things— our old beliefs are rock solid. When we're able to drop our old identites, like, "It's hard for me to lose weight", "I've never been able to do this", or "Why does this have to be so hard?", we allow for a new space of learning and growth.

One of the things that will make weight loss the most difficult for you is stressing out about it. Feeling panicked, overwhelmed, and just overall approaching it with a stressed out mindset. Our bodies are in fight or flight when it comes to this "emergency" that we need to solve. This is a great way to self-sabotage beause it effects every decision you make. If we can learn to partner with our nervous system, losing weight will become a much more peaceful process. Join the Vibe Club Waitlist

A few more questions today... I heard you ask someone if the goal they were using to motivate them was adding more stress or not. The persons answer for them was it wasn't. I feel like my goal is stressing me slightly. Like what if it comes and I haven't reached the goal I've been wanting? How can I reframe this so it's not stressful. My goal was to lose my weight by my bday. Maybe I should get coached:) Hi, you post about you're sleep a lot and I'm honestly jealous! Any tips for falling asleep and staying asleep?

I went on a trip last week and realized I didn't plan that much, which resulted in not being super pumped with my food decisions. I kinda ate things by the seat of my pants. Had I planned I probably would have made different decisions, and this got me realizing the power of reducing decision fatigue and how that impacts our food choices... even on vacations.

Today we're taking a few questions... How to overcome the urge to binge eat every meal? The title almost says it all. I can go for hours with no food, but once I start eating it is as if my body says: do it, f'ing do it Long story short: this is my 4th big weight loss, so far I went from 335 to 219 pounds. My goal is around 135 lbs, so I have a long way to go. On one hand, it's amazing that after so many failures to maintain the lost weight, I still try lol. And it's amazing that I'm now 116 pounds lighter. It's easier to walk, breathe, go up the stairs etc. But sometimes when I look in the mirror, I get so frustrated and upset with how I look. I'm still obese as per BMI (I'm 5'8). And I feel the problem is that there is a disconnect between how my brain thinks I should look after losing 116 pounds and how I look in reality, if that makes sense. On days like this I just want to say to hell with it and stop all efforts and get back to my uncontrollable eating. Submit A Question Vibe Club Waitlist

In this episode, we discuss the idea that true weight loss begins with self-acceptance. Many people believe that the key to weight loss is simply eating less and exercising more, but this narrow view ignores the underlying emotional and psychological factors that contribute to weight gain. We explore the concept of treating ourselves with kindness and compassion when it comes to our bodies and our weight. We discuss the importance of developing a healthy relationship with food, rather than viewing food as a source of comfort or punishment. We also talk about the benefits of mindfulness and self-compassion in weight loss efforts, and how to move away from a focus on perfection and self-criticism and towards a more positive, accepting attitude towards oneself.

We're talking about identity and beliefs this week, and how they can effect your potential. When we believe things like "that would never work for me", then of course that will be true for you. Just because you have never done it in the past doesn't mean its impossible. Just because in the past, any time you allow yourself sugar or carbs you overeat them, doesn't mean that always has to be the case. But ill tell you what— as long as you keep believing its impossible, you'll never be successful around overeating those tasty foods. The first step is challenging your beliefs so you can open those doors for yourself. Join Vibe Club www.vibewithmaggie.com
