Over a decade I hid behind the facade of “I am doing this for my “health.”
Lies. All lies!!!
Don’t get me wrong, I WANTED to care about my health, but the truth was I was petrified of gaining weight. So I used “choosing healthier foods” as a mask to show that I was doing it for the right reasons.
Now, granted, some of my friends & family probably saw right through it and questioned… “um… so eating chemicals from low fat food-like products is actually BETTER for your health than just eating the real thing??” ohhhh okayyyy there Dana. (insert brother’s sarcastic tone, adding in a laugh just to be sure I knew he was making fun of me ? )
I know I’m not alone. & I know this LIE is still going on in full force out there.
Hiding behind cleanses & ketogenic eating & paleo & veganism. ESPECIALLY veganism!
On the flip side, some women are coming right out & saying that they are doing it for “weight loss” as a way to communicate that their health is important.
Here’s the thing. Weight loss doesn’t actually result in better health any more than being healthy means you weigh less.
Healthy does not include strict rules, restriction, denial, deprivation with a side order of binge eating, anger & resentment.
Altho, that’s what every diet sets you up for!
If this is where you are right now, I feel ya. I KNOW that even if it IS a lie, you desperately want to make it be your TRUTH.
I hear you loud & clear my friend.
So, next you must ask yourself a few questions:
- Where did my fear of GAINING weight come from?
- Where did my fear of LOSING weight come from?
(yes, just like you can have a fear of failure & a fear of success - having weight on your body can be an act of self-preservation & protection) - Where did my belief of “I’m not good enough” come from?
- Where did the self-loathing come from?
Hint: The answers are NOT going to be found in the next diet, cleanse or fitness fad.
You don’t realllyyyy need me to tell you that. (or maybe you do. xo)
Look back at this cycle in your life. How many times did you look to a diet to “fix” you?
How many times did it actually give you the answers you wanted?
You’ve got to do something DIFFERENT to get to the core cause of where these self-sabotaging beliefs took hold.
Once you know that, then you can stop the behavior in its tracks and your desire to live your truth of “I am doing this for my health” becomes your actual reality. You no longer lie to others. You know longer lie to yourself. You deeply care about YOU & therefore, the weight comes off, or naturally stays off.
Which brings me to this AWESOME opportunity:
I am looking for 8 women who are ready to find their truths. To stop living behind the facade of fitness and dieting and get REAL with doing what it takes to transform their minds so their bodies follow suit.

I have been chewing on this problem for awhile. I will take it up with my psychiatrist next time I see her but in the meantime, I need your opinion. My life is happy. I have more than I ever wanted with Joe. His love is unyielding and certain and I feel the same way for him. I do have some medical issues that won’t allow me to be at my best all the time but I think we’re leaning closer to an answer than letting it lag.
My Problem. I buy things. I am a thrifty girl, always have been, always will be so when I go clothes shopping, I go to thrift stores. My skin care I do and will continue to invest in because it’s important to me.
I am overspending. Not willy nilly but enough so that when my disability comes in, it’s in the nick of time. Now I do pay some expenses around here and I don’t deviate from that but these online auctions I find I’m spending more money than I can afford to be. There seems to be this incessant need to. I have bought several rings, some household items et al….but I don’t know why. I know I’m filling a void but am clueless as to what that might be. If you have an opinion you think will help, please opine away.
There is a direct connection between money & self worth. Having things, wanting things, splurging on things, can be correlated to what you feel you deserve even if that money is not appearing in your bank account. I would do some work on the idea of “deserving” & wanting more out of life than you currently have. It’s ok to want more! Maybe it’s time to explore some ways to make money for you to support the things you desire to have.
