Rethinking dieting in midlife – What if there's a better way?

The message women hear for most of their lives is this: if you're not happy in your body, just go on a diet. And many of us do. Again and again. We buy the shakes, cut the carbs, count the calories. But what if the problem isn't your body, but the belief that you need fixing?

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the loop of dieting, losing, regaining, and starting over, this is for you. Let’s unwrap how to shift from chasing short-term fixes to building long-term health and confidence

So many women have spent years—decades, even—believing that being thinner will make them more confident, more attractive, more successful, more accepted. That thinness is the goal. That happiness is on the other side of a smaller dress size.

What we’re not told is that weight is not the best indicator of health. And that chasing it without looking at the bigger picture can do more harm than good.

How many times have you been going on a diet, or started your diet on a Monday, only to fall off it by the time Friday comes along?

Diet culture is a huge issue in our society with so many women falling prey to the never-ending quest to conform with their size and shape. But the reason the diet industry is so big and profitable is because it’s designed to make this continuous cycle of yo-yo dieting one that you believe is the only way to find your worth and happiness.

I want to help women and girls understand what I diet really is, and share why it’s something you actually will have for your whole life, not only a few days or weeks at a time when you have the willpower to force yourself to stay on one.
