In the perimenopause space on the interwebs, there is so much marketing and targeting around weight loss. Gaining weight is one of the top 3 symptoms that most women complain about - and this episode isn't about the physiology of the weight gain. It is about how we feel about it and what we do about it. Throughout my 20’s, 30’s and early 40’s, I was on some kind of diet. I want to share that in my 20’s, I was also bulimic for 3 years as a way of hating on my body to get skinny. If you saw photos of me in those decades, you would probably think," Tina's coming from a place of privilege, she's never even been way overweight”. Yet, I still had these following thoughts constantly: How much do I weight today? OMG i gained two pounds. I suck. I hate my fat thighs. I hate my body; I’ll never lose 5lbs. Why can't I do it. I exceeded Myfitness pal calories - I’m so bad. I have no discipline. I am so uncomfortable in my body. I want my body like I had when I was 30. No cookies,Tina, ever again. I have no control. In this episode, I share the shift in my thoughts where I no longer torture myself. And, I urge you to think about a shift towards happy self supporting goals.
