Negotiation and self-care routinely go hand-in-hand. Feeling like our best selves can make it easier to focus our attention on our negotiations and negotiating a job that works for us helps us to have the time and energy to truly focus on ourselves.   However, the diet programs we see everywhere disconnect us from our bodies, force us to eat food that doesn’t taste good, and ultimately lead us right back to where we started.   Can we eat in a way that supports our bodies, creates positivity around food, and gives us the life results we want without white-knuckling through another problematic diet?   The answer to a healthier lifestyle and connection with food begins in our brains, not in a meal prep container.   So how do we shift to a more peaceful existence with food?   In this episode, I’m joined by physician and master certified life coach, CEO at Weight Loss for Busy Physicians, Dr. Katrina Ubell. She talks about her new book, “How to Lose Weight for the Last Time” and how we can fix a dysfunctional relationship with food.     Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode    - Getting to the root of overeating  Sometimes the answer to weight loss isn’t another meal and exercise plan. How do we deal with the deeper causes of overeating and other counterproductive habits?    - Why we have to trust our own bodies more  Most weight loss programs make us ignore our body’s signals of hunger and satiety. Why does this make it harder for us to create lasting change?    - How to set yourself free from maladaptive beliefs about weight How do we stop equating having a specific body to the intrinsic value and worth we have as human beings?
