299. Are Your Body Image Issues Actually Why You Have Trouble Losing Weight?

In today's solo episode, I'm getting real about something that doesn't get talked about enough — how body image struggles can quietly sabotage your weight loss journey. We're diving into the emotional side of fat loss — the self-talk, the mindset traps, and the ways we unknowingly hold ourselves back by thinking we need to hate our bodies into change. I'm sharing personal stories and client experiences to show you why mindset—not just macros and meal plans—is often the real roadblock to progress. You'll hear the honest truth about separating your self-worth from your weight, how to stop self-sabotaging patterns in their tracks, and what it actually takes to build a more positive, sustainable approach. By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with mindset shifts and practical steps you can use right away to stop getting in your own way, start seeing progress beyond the scale, and finally treat your body with the respect it deserves. 1:1 Coaching with Lauren and Our Team of Dietitians: HERE To connect with Lauren, click HERE Submit your question for advice from Lauren on the show HERE Take the free Weight Loss Personality Quiz HERE Shop Our Meal Plans HERE Get Support & Personally Work With Us HERE 🎙️ Episode 295: 3 Easy Steps To Help You STOP Giving Into Short-Term Gratification With Food 🎙️ Episode 234: LAUREN'S STORY: How To Lose 10 Pounds & Lean Out When "I Don't Have Willpower" Willpower" 🎙️ Episode 196: EMILY'S STORY: 20 Pounds Down & Reframing Failure 🎙️ Episode 157: MEGAN'S STORY: How to Lose 16 Pounds WITHOUT Obsessing Over The Scale I hope you enjoy this episode and if you do, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.
