What It's Like to Lose 60+ Pounds--and Keep It Off
Manage episode 343755760 series 2991391
Christine Meyer spent a lot of her life either trying diets that didn’t work, or feeling guilt and shame about her weight. The pandemic made everything worse, with increased focus on comfort foods and wine any time, because… why not? But then everything changed. In the summer of 2020, Christine reached out to a health coach and began a program that transformed her life. She lost a lot of weight (more than 60 pounds)--and has kept it off; but more crucial than that, she has changed her intentions, her mindset, and her approach to each day.
In this episode, Christine shares her very personal story of living with, and then losing the weight–and how she has gained so much in the process. She gives practical tips that work for her, encouragement, and even a few surprises (yes, she eats ice cream–with intention!).
Christine got so much out of her journey with Optavia that she decided to become a certified health coach herself, so she could help change other peoples’ lives.
In this episode:
- How Christine felt prior to and during the pandemic (02:00)
- Programs she'd tried earlier in her life (07:14)
- What was different about this program? (09:41)
- Addressing the emotional component of the journey (15:42)
- When she realized the power of caramel sauce--food's emotional power (19:27)
- The Drama Triangle (24:09)
- Why she doesn't diet--and the healthy habits she layers into her day (26:54)

- Does this lifestyle require extra time and extra money? (35:34)
