Why Do I Still Feel Bad in My Body Even After Losing Weight?

Why Do I Still Feel Bad in My Body Even After Losing Weight?

You did it. You lost the weight.

And you still feel terrible.

This is one of the most common and heartbreaking things I see in clinic. And if this is you right now, I want you to know — it's not your fault. But it is something you need to understand.

You lost weight. But you didn't get healthy.

There's a difference. A significant one.

When the focus is purely on losing body weight rather than getting healthier, this is where the issue lies. This is why you yo-yo diet constantly. This is why you've lost faith in your ability to finally lose weight for good. There's a part of you that still doesn't trust yourself.

You lost weight but you only did the physical work. None of the emotional identity shift work that's actually required.

You lost weight but you focused on calories only rather than good quality, well balanced, nourishing nutrition that would leave you feeling long term stronger, healthier and more vital.

Focusing only on the number on the scale and not on your health is why nothing ever sticks.

What you actually need to do differently

First, you need to follow a real food program. One that packs your body with nutrients and protein. That stabilises your blood sugar, resets your relationship with food, supports your hormonal health and your digestive wellbeing.

Something like The Reset Program was built exactly for this. jennapoole.com/the-reset

But here's the part most people don't expect.

You have to upgrade your identity.

You have to learn to trust yourself. To commit to the plan even when you don't feel like it. To make new choices even when the old ones are easier.

The real upgrades are made in the micro moments.

When you choose mineral water over a Coke.
When you choose the steak and salad over the parmy.
When you don't feel like going to the gym but you go anyway because you know you'll feel better afterwards. Because you know it's going to build your self trust, your confidence, your strength and your belief in your own ability.

The real work is learning to give up short term gratification for long term results.

And above all else — eat real food.

If you're dieting with diet foods, low calorie products, hardly any protein and packaged health food — that's why you don't feel better.

Diet food is not real food. It doesn't work. And it leaves you feeling like crap.

Sure, you may have lost the weight. But that's exactly why you don't feel any better.

You didn't nourish yourself. You just got smaller.

And there is so much more available to you than smaller.
