Mindful Shape
If you’ve been dieting and exercising your whole life and have yet to reach your weight-loss goal and keep it off, this podcast is for you! Most programs solve for the effect (the excess weight) but not the overeating problem - the reasons why you put on the extra weight in the first place. In each episode you’ll learn how to master your thinking so you can banish self-sabotage, feel at peace with food and finally experience life in the body you secretly know is your natural shape. Let’s do it together. Find Free PDF Handouts at mindfulshape.com/resources
