069 The Myth of ‘The Last 7 lbs’

I used to have this thought that would go round and round in my head that, if I could just lose those last 7 lbs, everything will be okay. I truly believed that 7 lbs was the difference between me feeling too big and me feeling ‘just right’. Losing them would make my confidence bloom and my self-esteem grow. In this episode, I talk about The Myth of the Last 7 lbs and how it affects our confidence, our mood and our self-esteem. 
 What You Will Learn in This Episode:

- How to be confident and happy at whatever size you are now

- How to stop being anxious about weight gain and actually enjoy food and exercise

- How to do more of the things that are going to make you feel good (rather than just make you smaller)

- The path to feeling great whether you’ve ‘got rid’ of  those last 7 lbs or not

- Which stress reduction, nutrition and exercise strategies will help you be your healthiest self

- How to build your strength and confidence and increase your energy and focus

Those last 7 lbs represent pleasure. They represent meals out, without having to pick the dish that will be lowest in calories. They represent a  birthday cake with your kids, a few late afternoon bevvies with a friend, a roast and a glass of red wine on a winter Sunday. If we obsess over those  last 7 lbs, we actually lose so much more than just weight. We lose pleasure, freedom and joy. We lose ourselves.

About the Podcast

Busy Woman's Guide to Wellbeing
Mindset, Balance & Fitness for Real Life
The Busy Woman’s Guide is a wellness podcast for women looking for a healthy lifestyle that fits THEIR rhythm, not a cookie cutter version of all the “shoulds” and to-do lists out there.

Hosted by Alix Hubble, women’s therapeutic, fitness and life coach, I take you deeper into a wellbeing for YOU.

Because you already know what it takes to build healthy habits, and you’ve got enough productivity tips, workout motivation hacks, and tips for how to be consistent, how to stop procrastinating and how to achieve work life balance to last a lifetime.

So let’s explore what really sits beneath your burnout, your lack of consistency, your self sabotage, or your need to always “be on it.”

This is your permission slip to stop performing, start listening to yourself, and create a rhythm that actually fits your life.

If you’re asking questions like these….this is the place to be:

- How to stop overthinking?
- How can I be productive without burning out?
- How can I stop tying my self worth and self esteem to being busy?
- How can I stop self-sabotaging my progress?
- How do I feel more comfortable in my own skin again?
