The Real Reason We're Overweight

The main reason we're overweight is because we eat more food than our bodies need—we overeat.

But why do we overeat?

It has EVERYTHING to do with our mindset and how we talk to ourselves. 

Do these thoughts sound familiar?

"You'll never lose weight!" says the inner-bully.

"No one can tell me what to eat!" says the inner-rebel.

"You can't do anything right!" says the inner-critic.

These mean girls live in your lower habit brain and run in a continuous loop on autopilot. And when they're running the show, it's hard to be motivated to take the action steps needed to reach your health and weight goals.

The quality of your thoughts creates the quality of your life.

"Mindset Reframes" Change the Scene

The only way to stop them is by using another part of your brain, your higher reasoning brain. But this doesn't come naturally, it takes effort.

When you respond from this part of your brain, you can tap into your heroic self—the brave, wise guide that has your best interest at heart and is ready to support you in reaching your goals.

Your heroic self can help you shift your mindset with nurturing and supportive thoughts, or mindset reframes. This is the most effective way to reprogram your mind, calm your nervous system, and quiet down your inner mean girls. Because when your inner world is more peaceful and loving, you make better choices—and ultimately reduce overeating.

Mindset reframes change the unhelpful conversations in your head to more uplifting ones. This produces happy chemicals in your body that create a loving and conducive environment for healthy habit change.
