In this episode, I speak with my dear friend, Ana Vucetic. She is a trained psychologist and a health and wellness coach, as well as the founder of Balanced by Ana, where she helps clients achieve their health objectives and uncover their motives and challenges relating to them.
We discuss her own journey and cover a lot of interesting topics around weight loss, including:
– How we get trapped into associating our weight with our own self-worth
– Why weight is often not the real issue and how to identify the problems that lie beneath
– Why self-acceptance is probably the biggest issue most people have when it comes to weight loss
– Shifting from worrying about “vanity weight” to worrying about our health and true wellness
– Managing weight loss with children with a healthy mindset
– Some people say they want to lose weight but really they don’t – and they don’t have to!
