Nurturing Yourself: Four Steps to Compassionate Weight Loss
It's all about not allowing that particular lapse to take us completely away... It's just that self-compassion and that self-kindness to say: yes, this has happened, but we'll move on if something, something goes wrong.
Ever feel like your inner critic is louder than your cheerleader? Deirdre Coyne, the heart behind 'Alcohol Free Living Ireland', gets it. In this episode, she shares four gentle steps to make weight loss a kinder journey. First up, swap that harsh self-talk for a more compassionate voice. Imagine you're supporting a friend who's having a tough time—why not give yourself the same love? Next, Deirdre suggests taking baby steps instead of trying to overhaul everything at once.
It's about progress, not perfection. The third step involves being curious and mindful. Pause to ask yourself if you're truly hungry and learn from those unexpected snack attacks without judgment. Lastly, don't let a slip-up derail your goals. Focus on your next meal and make it count nutritionally. Deirdre's approach is all about self-care and kindness, making it easier to stick with your weight loss journey for the long haul.
