Cherie has been battling these 20 pounds just about all her adult life \u2013 and she\u2019s feeling ready for a new approach. Cherie\u2019s kids are about to leave the house, and she\u2019d like to focus on her life for the first time in many years. She dreams of letting go of her day job and taking on an exciting new career, and she knows that now\u2019s the time to step into her power. Everything is falling into place for Cherie to take a big leap in life.  But her weight continues to weigh her down. In this week\u2019s episode, Marc David coaches Cherie to finally have a breakthrough with her weight. And it\u2019s all about focusing on this one weight loss secret: \u27a1\ufe0f Becoming a natural eater. You see, Cherie has been a rather *unnatural* eater. Since age 13 when she was a young gymnast, her life revolved around working out, looking trim, having very little body fat, and winning the approval of others. For young Cherie, food quickly became the enemy. Eat too much of it, and everyone will notice your extra body fat. Starve yourself, and you\u2019re doing exactly what you need to do to keep being loved and successful. Unfortunately, Cherie has taken this same unnatural relationship with food that developed during childhood into her adult years. She has no idea what it\u2019s like to truly enjoy food and not be on a diet. As their conversation unfolds, Cherie opens up to what being a natural eater might feel like, including: \u2705 Making friends with food. \u2705 Letting go of the inner bully that\u2019s beating herself up around weight. \u2705 Allowing herself to feel hungry, eat a meal, and enjoy it.  \u2705 Stop looking at food like it\u2019s going to become fat on her body. \u2705 Give dieting a long vacation.  \u2705 Listen to her body\u2019s wisdom when it comes to food. As this episode explores, having an honest and sustainable approach to weight loss means that we need to look beyond dieting, calorie restriction, and self attack. Instead, finding a natural rhythm as an eater, finding nourishment in food, and discovering what our individual body needs is key. When we\u2019ve been trying weight loss strategies for decades and they continue to fail us, it\u2019s time for a new approach. Tune into this fascinating session and watch as Cherie realizes why her approach to weight loss hasn\u2019t worked, and how she can have a whole new and inspiring weight loss journey.  --------------- Learn more about us at The Institute for the Psychology of Eating: https:\/\/psychologyofeating.com\/  Ready to call a ceasefire in your battle with eating, and find peace and freedom with food?
