Ep. #111: Mourning the Loss of Your Overweight Identity
For most of my life, I was overweight. I developed an overweight identity. As I was losing my weight, I had to step into a new version of myself and develop a new identity. I had to start creating the mindset of a person who was not battling her weight, who loved her body, who did not obsess about food – Developing what I like to call my BFLY identity.
Join me in this episode as I will be talking about our overweight identity, and how to mourn the loss of that overweight identity in order to move on to the next version of yourself.
We have tied so many (false) beliefs around food and what we make it mean about us. Made it our identity. And all it does is sabotage our success and keeps us stuck.
I will teach you how to step into the next version of yourself and how to practice new thoughts and beliefs around this – to let go of your overweight identity once and for all and become your BFLY identity.

Transformational questions/actions:
- What is tied to your overweight identity – Is it safety, is it so you fit in, is it so you can stay small (not shine too bright), is it around false beliefs that you can eat whatever, that you have freedom.
- What do you get out of being overweight – what are you avoiding by being overweight?
- When you think of yourself at your goal weight – what scares you about it?
- What do you want your new BFLY identity to be? What does she do and what do you need to believe to step into this version of yourself?
