How to Get Past Your Struggle With Your Weight Even If You've Been Struggling For Years

Have a love-hate relationship with food? Sick of hating on yourself all the time? If you think there is more to life than THIS, you are RIGHT! Watch this conversation I have my client Sindhu where she shares how she got so many breakthroughs within a short 3 months after struggling for over 20 years! If it's possible for HER, it's possible for YOU too.

She Struggled with Binge Eating Since She Was 16

And today, it is a non-issue.

I'm excited to bring Sindhu Nair to the conversation today where we talk all about how she made powerful, life-changing breakthroughs in less than 3 months even though she had experienced decades of struggle, frustration and feeling stuck when it came to binge eating, gaining weight, relationships and boundaries.
 
She shares the truth behind what was *really* holding her back all along, how she is making peace with the people and events in her life that radically affected her attitude and decision-making and what exactly made her decide to explore this mindset stuff deeper in the first place.

p.s. my apologies for the glitchy audio on my side. Sindhu is crystal clear, so I hope it doesn't distract from our important message!

See if "mindset" is what's holding you back by taking the questionairre below!

35 Rewards From Doing Mindset Work

By Sindhu Nair

  1. I am now capable of setting healthy boundaries. Because I am now able to do this, people have responded by being more respectful to me. If someone does cross a boundary, I am able speak up for myself in a respectable yet firm manner.
  2. Because I have been doing the work each and every day, I created the power to surround myself with respect and love. I have seen such a positive change with family, co-workers, and friends, and I haven’t said a word to them. It is because I have created a different energy for myself, and people can sense that energy. I am also no longer surrounded by toxic people and people who do not help me grow.
  3. I can truly say I LOVE MYSELF and mean it.
  4. I am excited to learn more and more about myself each day. When I uncover a negative memory and experience, I am able to see what I can learn about myself because of it.
  5. I am no longer afraid to be vulnerable and to feel all emotions because I feel safe and secure.
  6. I now live out that the universe provides for me every day. Today I know everything I am supposed to know, and that is perfect.
  7. I now know that my 20+ years of disordered (binge) eating, under-exercise, and binge exercising have been a part of my journey and longing to achieve the highest level of self-love and confidence, respect, and nourishment. So seeing it in this way, I no longer beat myself up over time wasted and no longer feel hopeless. I am now free, and able to learn and live out new and positive thoughts, eating patterns, and movements.
  8. For the first time in 20+ years, I have been able to have ice cream, cookies, chocolate, crackers, and potato chips in my house without the urge to binge on them. Because now I trust myself around food. I am now able to take a few bites and never feel deprived. Each day my relationship with food is improving.
  9. I no longer define myself and my worth by a number on a scale. Because I have stopped looking at the scale for validation, I have been able to free my mind to focus on healing myself. And healing myself has been a lot easier than I ever could have imagined.
  10. I am less fatigued because I have reignited a passion for my life through this work; through learning more about myself.
  11. Each day I am owning and celebrating a life of food freedom. I am progressing each day.
  12. I can fully be grateful and celebrate every little step I take because I am now able to see the biggest picture of having a fulfilling life. And this surrounds me with so much joy, love, and appreciation, and that has carried over into all aspects of my life.
  13. I am no longer hung up about food during social gatherings. I have allowed myself to be fully engaged and present with the people around me. I am at ease.
  14. For the first time in 20+ years, I am listening to my body. I am now beginning to understand what it means to be satisfied from food. I am not seeking out to stuff myself because I am no longer using food to get love, punish myself, or relieve stress or boredom.
  15. I am no longer obsessed with losing weight. I now know I will achieve a healthy weight once I am in alignment with me. Continuing to do this work, releasing the guilt, fear, shame, anger, and all negative emotions from my body and fully living my life will come together in the right time in my physical body.
  16. I am now able to honor my body when it comes to rest. I now have a healthy relationship with exercise. I see it now as an incredible way to move my body and appreciate the incredible strength and healing of my body.
  17. I am now confident that I pick the best foods for my body. I am no longer afraid of “cravings”. I allow myself to eat whatever I want whenever I want. When I give myself this permission, I no longer feel the need to fill my body with junk trying to deny myself a particular food. Sometimes I want vegetables, so I have them. Sometimes I want ice cream, so I have it. And I am now able to move on with the rest of my day without any judgment. And I am no longer scared that I’m going to gain weight or ruin my life.
  18. I have achieved greater peace in my life because I have now realized that feeling overwhelmed is a choice. I have learned to slow down and know that everything will get done when it is supposed to. This has increased my ability to come up with solutions, and come up with them faster than ever before.
  19. Self-care is my top priority. I make sure that no matter what is happening around me certain things are being taken care of. For me, it is working and living in a decluttered space.
  20. Just as I had the power to think negative thoughts all the time and life a life of disordered eating, I have the power to reverse all of it. I no longer give up my power so easily.
  21. I no longer seek out external validation. My internal validation is the only validation I need.
  22. I appreciate everything I learn about myself, all the negative and positive. It has given me a new appreciation of life.
  23. I am able to be more grateful for everything in my life.
  24. I am now able to take full responsibility for myself. And therefore I have given myself my power back. Changes and decisions I make are done with a lot more ease and confidence than ever before. I now have more confidence to stand behind myself.
  25. I no longer apologize for who I am. I embrace myself for all things I went through, all my emotions, and all my opinions. I now care very little what others think.
  26. I no longer make excuses for myself. I have shed the light on myself, and this now comes from a place of love, and not from hate. I shed the light on the baggage, excuses, and lies I would tell myself, and the jealously for others because I love myself and want to be a better person. Therefore releasing all of this and making room for new is much easier and I am able to do this with more ease.
  27. I now own my worthiness. And everything I do now is because I now know I am worthy of the best. I no longer define myself by my mistakes, my failures, my parents, my sister, my previous relationships and friendships, and my other relatives. I define me by all the things I have learned from every single experience and through the courage to be the woman I want to be.
  28. I now have the courage and strength to be the woman I want to be.
  29. I reignited my passion for cooking, and therefore reignited my creativity. I cook with the freshest and best ingredients, herbs, oils, and spices. Truly appreciating the food. And appreciating this special time in the kitchen. I am no longer obsessed over calories, fat, carbohydrates, proteins; I am now truly savoring and enjoying my creations in portions that feel best for my body.
  30. I am able to bounce back faster when challenges are presented to me. I am breaking free from the need to binge eat every time there is a challenge in my life. Instead I am now able to step back and see what I can learn from this and why this came into my life. Not all the answers are revealed right away, and that is ok. I am confident in the universe providing everything for me.
  31. I am now trusting of life’s processes. Everything that I am meant to know will be presented to me at the right time in the right place. I am able to let go of the nervousness, jealousy of what others have, the comparison to others, the longing, and the stress.
  32. I am now owning my uniqueness and the way I approach things. Taking all judgment out of it.
  33. I no longer feel the need to explain myself to others.
  34. I am now free from battling with myself because there is no longer such a thing as sabotage. I now give myself the freedom to chose what to eat, the quantity to eat, when to rest, what exercise is best for my body, and what to do day to day. Because every single action or inaction is of my choosing and for me to live my best life, sabotage no longer exists.
  35. I am now more in tune with my body. I am progressing in this area more and more each day. I am now more sensitive to the affects of certain foods. For me, too much sugar makes me excessively tired. Too much food in general makes me uncomfortable to sit and sleep. I used to ignore these symptoms because I felt I could not live without all the volume and temptation of food. I can now see that putting my body through so much physical stress is not something I want to tolerate anymore.

Who's Dana Lee

My name is Dana Lee Chapman and I'm a fitness & mindset coach for women who want to feel good in their bodies and finally live with freedom from dieting so they can get on to lead the life they've always wanted for themselves.

My mission is to support my clients on their journey of becoming a badass.

My favorite thing ever is seeing the lightbulb go off when my clients realize that it is possible to be able to do the things they have always dreamt of doing without the negative self-talk putting a limitation on what's possible for their life. Maybe because I was also once stuck in my ways unable to see the end of a tunnel.

I'm known for my "to the point" teaching approach of combining various workout methods along with mindset training. But what keeps women coming back again & again to my online workouts and enrolling in my mindset program?

I help my clients cut through the clutter and remove the obstacles so that they can get to their goals in the most effective way possible.

Less time struggling = more life being lived.

When Dana Lee is not filming workouts for the site, she is either riding motorcycles with her husband Steve, practicing handstands in yoga, or hanging with a good friend having great conversation over a delicious cuppa coffee. She also advocates for children in foster care as the role of a CASA in the county of Passaic, NJ.
