Episode 17: Q+A: Goal Weights & Period Cravings

<p>On the podcast this week we go in depth on two questions that come up a lot for us as coaches:<br> <br> 🤔Is it okay to have a goal weight?<br> <br> 🤔Are period cravings real or am I just being lazy/ weak?<br> <br> The short answer to both is: yes it’s okay to have a goal weight and yes period cravings are real but you are NOT lazy/ weak.<br> <br> You can have a goal weight. But as coaches we’re not stopping at a number. We want to help you dig deeper into:<br> <br> 👉🏼Why is that important to you?<br> 👉🏼Was there a time in your life when you were at that weight? What was going on for you then?<br> 👉🏼What do you believe that number will afford you?<br> 👉🏼Why do you believe that those things are not available for you now?<br> 👉🏼What’s the cost of getting to that weight and are you willing and able to make those sacrifices?<br> 👉🏼Are those sacrifices going to take you away from health?<br> <br> … and that is just skimming the surface.&nbsp;<br> <br> With more of a spotlight on goals that aren’t just about aesthetics now being more on offer to women, there can be shame IF women DO want to change their body.&nbsp;<br> <br> ‘Focus on being strong!’<br> <br> ‘You’re beautiful the way you are!’<br> <br> While these things are true, what one wishes to pursue is valid and theirs to make a decision about whatever the goal. But we want to make sure that any target, metric or goal is truly aligned with how you want to be living your life.<br> <br> In the episode we also discuss what’s going on under the hood when you do have cravings and some strategies to work WITH your body—not fight against it.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Mentioned in this episode:</p> <p>Enneagram Test - https://tests.enneagraminstitute.com/orders/create</p> <p>Clue Period Tracker - https://helloclue.com/</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/be-well-cartel/message
