It's so frustrating when you sabotage your own progress with your weight loss isn't it? Why might you do this and what strategies can you use to step out of your own way?

I believe our inner Saboteur shows up and intervenes when we are straying too far out of our comfort zone. The Saboteur is one of your survival archetypes, we all have one, and it wants you to stay safe. Loving Your Sacred Vessel encourages you to take small steps towards releasing your excess weight, just one or two habit changes at a time so that you don't feel overwhelmed and your inner Saboteur isn't triggered.

Ultimately, long term, a kind and gentle approach which addresses your emotions and your thought patterns can yield more lasting results; which is what I have found in my own life and why I am sharing my method with you.

This episode contains a short visualisation. It's best to sit quietly at a time when you can focus within, close your eyes and not be distracted. Do not attempt this when you need to focus your attention on other things.

Janet has been doing my Sacred Vessel Programme from the beginning and watching her transformation has been so rewarding for me. She tells me how she feels now and why this is an approach she'd recommend to other women who have struggled with their body image, food and yo-yo dieting.

As I recorded this interview we are about to start another Loving Your Sacred Vessel Programme, so if you'd like to work online with me in a small group go along to my website for more information and booking. I'd love to see you there!

Perhaps you turn to food when you are not physically hungry. You aren't alone if you do this, it is really common. It's often called 'comfort eating' but I think a better description would be 'discomfort eating' as it is an attempt to suppress an uncomfortable feeling. It may work briefly as a tactic for a momentary fix, but it tends to lead to more unhappiness long term. In this episode I suggest ways you might interrupt that urge to emotionally eat.
