Can You Let Go Of Weight Loss Goal?

Can you let go of weight loss goal?

Yes, it's so hard to do and years ago, I didn't think I could ever do that. I wanted to be smaller, I wanted to weigh less. This was literally my main focus of every day and all the things I did were done with this one goal in mind.

But letting go of the weight loss goal is a non-negotiable if you ever want to break free from food and exercise obsession.

Are You Unhappy With Your Bodyweight?

Many people are dissatisfied with their weight simply because the number isn't what they THOUGHT it SHOULD be. But where is this number coming from?

When I was most obsessed with my food and fitness, my goal was this: **Never weigh more than 62kgs (136 lbs)**

I worked hard every day to keep my weight there, but my body knew better that this weight wasn't for me. Here's how it tried to tell me:

🔻I had to work out A TON to maintain this.

🔻I had to limit my food to keep my 62kg.

🔻I was cold.

🔻My energy was low.

🔻I didn't sleep.

🔻I had no period, I had hypothalamic amenorrhea.

🔻I restricted food and then binged. I didn't know how to eat right!

But it wasn't only my body that let me know that my weight was too low. My mind did it too! Here are just some of the signs it sent me, but I didn't listen:

🔻I was unable to to focus.

🔻I was unable to eat without calculating calories in my mind.

🔻I was reading cookbooks and daydreaming about desserts but never ate them (unless I binged).

🔻I was isolated, I had almost non-existent social life.
