One part of us can clearly say: \u201cI absolutely must lose weight.\u201d While another part of us can simultaneously whisper: \u201cI\u2019m tired of dieting. Maybe I should just give up and love my body as it is.\u201d And from here, an inner conflict unfolds.  On the one hand, we can find ourselves motivated to stick to a diet, get to the gym, and do everything we can to control our appetite. After all, we know how much happier we\u2019ll be when we hit our weight loss number. But another part of ourselves can feel uncomfortable with making our happiness contingent on how we look. After all, shouldn\u2019t the goal be to unconditionally love and accept ourselves, no matter what? This question of whether you should change your body \u2013 or embrace it \u2013 is something many of us are struggling to answer \u2013 and that Marc David takes on in this episode. Marc works with James, 52, who has long wanted the body of his dreams: trim, fit and muscular like a lifeguard.  It\u2019s a bucket list kind of wish, a goal that James knows will make him feel a huge sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. He\u2019s even reached his dream goal several times, and has loved the feeling of having a fit, sculpted body. But James is torn, because another voice inside just wants to love his body as it is right now, and feel like he\u2019s good enough without the need to change anything. So, with all these conflicting voices living inside of his head, what should James do? Tune in to hear Marc help James discover a way through the paradoxical journey of learning to love oneself amidst the desire to have a certain body. They explore topics of weight loss, body acceptance, emotional eating, and the path to greater self-love. Episode highlights: \u2705  The unexpected ways our inner critic can drive emotional eating, and weight challenges. \u2705  Why we withhold self-love, and how to turn this around. \u2705  Unwinding the negative belief that you can\u2019t have the life you want until you have the ideal body. \u2705  Keys to satisfying the needs of our various inner archetypes, or \u201cvoices.\u201d \u2705  And much more\u2026 This is a powerful session that explores the many voices or archetypes that live inside of us, and how to empower these voices to become our best allies. --------------- 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?
