Overcome Psychological Barriers to Weight Loss
Many women who have Polycystic Ovarian Disease struggle with their weight as a result of being insulin resistance. Losing weight by adhering to a low-carb diet is the first recommended course of action for PCOS women trying to conceive. And this can be a hard task to undertake, especially if you have been battling your weight for years.
While exercise, food, lifestyle, and education are indeed important variables in the weight-loss process, without doubt, the biggest determinant of weight loss is our psychological and emotional state.
Long lasting success in weight loss is never accomplished by behavior modification alone. People binge and break their diet because there are strong underlying emotional forces at work…strong feelings and powerful habits they have been unable to control or may not even be fully aware of.
Most people have been unsuccessful in weight loss because that have not done the internal work to discover, deal with, and quiet negative feelings and expose and break the bad habits. Only when you do that, can you stop making bad food choices, stick to your diet, and lose weight!
How counseling can help you reach your weight loss goals:
- Learn to break your destructive patterns of emotional eating by identifying your internal and external triggers.
- Reduce feelings of depression, anxiety, stress, and relational strain that may be hindering your progress.
- Learn new, healthier ways to cope with negative emotions and stress as opposed to comforting yourself with food.
- Learn how to change the negative self-talk and destructive core beliefs and attitudes that sabotage your progress.
- Heal the deep emotional wounds that first created your unhealthy relationship with food.
- Receive supportive, non-judgmental accountability to help you stay on track.
