Life Coaching Empowers You Internally to Address Weight Gain Issues

July 17, 2015| Judi Wolder | Info Articles 0

Marriage is about love, acceptance, and solace. Often, your spouse has the best intentions whenever he/she makes a valid observation about your physical appearance. This only shows that your partner cares a lot about you and wants you to be the best that you can be.

People who have gained weight and are unable to manage weight loss successfully, however, may go through an inner conflict because of their physical situation. Those who are in a marriage or relationship can be particularly sensitive, as physical attractiveness does have a lot to do with intimacy. So when your partner makes comments about your recent weight gain, it is understandable to feel a little hurt, frustrated, or even angry.

The more important thing, however, is to determine what should you do about it. Here are things worth keeping in mind.

Verbalization

You should voice out your feelings and concerns in a healthy manner. Have you always wanted to lose weight but couldn’t find time to work out in between your crazy work schedule? Do your spouse’s casual remarks hurt your feelings? Let him/her know.

Self Empowerment

Losing weight isn’t exactly a one-week plan with immediate results. Sometimes, the process can be extremely hard and long, and you may at times feel discouraged and on the verge of giving up. You need someone who will support you and help you see things through. Experienced life coaches, like Judi Wolder of Cedar Light Life Coaching in Orange County, will keep you motivated to achieve your goal.

The Power of Coaching

A life coach may also use hypnotherapy, among other tools, to empower you internally and give you the drive to finish what you’ve started. Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis and relaxation to help you reach a heightened state of awareness. While you are in this state, your life coach can direct your attention to specific thoughts or actions and thereby push you toward your desired results.

Has your weight gain affected your sex life, intimacy, or marriage as a whole? Through life coaching, you can set realistic goals and set out steps on how you how to achieve them. Losing weight is never easy, but all it takes is the right mindset and support system to cheer you on.
