In this podcast episode, we're delighted to be joined by special guest Summer Brooks, who is a member of The School of Sustainable Weight Loss. Summer came into the program having lost an incredible 90 lbs. Her goal? To keep it off.Before she joined, Summer was a strong emotional eater, and had a horrible relationship with her body and food. While she'd worked hard to identify some of those issues, she didn't know how to pick those feelings apart in a way that was doable and sustainable. Summer shares with us how the thought work in the program helped her to move away from calorie counting, how she conquered ‘scale anxiety', and how she fixed her relationship with food. She also gives us 5 pieces of advice for sustainable weight loss.Listen now to hear her remarkable journey of progress and self-development.To read the full show notes for this episode, visit http://www.thewlcc.com/100Quotes01:40 - “Until I found the program, I really didn't know how to pick those feelings apart in a way that was doable and sustainable.”13:15 - “Even though I was able to get 90+ pounds off, I knew that the way I did it was not able to be done long term.”13:26 - “This is for life and I need to be able to live a real life and enjoy eating with friends and family and not living in that diet mindset that ‘I can't do that' or ‘I can't have that'.”14:55 - “It is not the norm for people to be able to maintain weight loss.”17:34 - “If you want to lose weight and keep it off for the long term, you just cannot be in a hurry.
