“A bit about me and my own journey…
Supporting people on their weight-loss journey - and ultimately how you pave the way to self-esteem - has always been something close to my heart. And if you’re here, I'm sure it takes up a lot of space in your heart too.”
Let me tell you where it all began for me.
Like you, maybe it started a long, long time ago?
Growing up in my 1980s house, weight was always a topic of discussion. Whether it was how to lose weight, who had lost weight, put on weight, or how you looked, this focus on diets and weight was always observed and discussed among my mother and sisters.
It was important.
Listening to my mother and her friends talk about the diets they were on, what had worked for them, or how good someone was looking, I learned at a very early age that there was a degree of interest, attention, and acceptance from being part of that conversation.
I was about 8 years old when I decided that I wanted to belong to this club! I thought that if the numbers on the scale went up, then I could belong to the ladies who dieted to bring the numbers down… Go figure my logic - but that’s how beliefs are formed, whether they are logical or not!
We can see now that this belief was distorted, but this is where limiting beliefs start! They are often formed when we are young, and sometimes they become deeply ingrained within us, even if they are not necessarily true or helpful!
Believing that I would be more interesting and worthy of attention if I had to lose weight was certainly not true or helpful.
I wonder what beliefs your younger self formed about your appearance, self-worth, belonging, and what was acceptable?
I wonder if they serve you now?
And so, looking at me now, you might think, "Well, Rebecca, you're a slim person. You look healthy. You look energetic. Maybe you're somebody I can learn from about what it means to embody those kinds of things."
And this is true. I lead a very active and healthy life, and even though I'm nearly 50, weight is not my problem now.
But what I really want you to know is...
Darling, I have been there too. I have walked this road. And I’m here to walk it with you.
