What this episode covers

Why Successful Women Struggle Most With Weight Loss | The Truth About Asking for Help She struggled for 40 years with food and her weight because she thought it would be a sign of weakness to ask for help. Thank goodness for her she DID get my help and as a result she lost 50 pounds, created a healthy relationship with food, and reconnected with self-love, the greatest result of all (which in turn made weight loss struggle-free). Are you a high-achieving woman who's tried everything to lose weight but can't seem to make it stick? What if the very trait that made you successful in your career is the exact thing keeping you stuck with binge eating and emotional eating? In this episode of The JoLynn Braley Show, I share the raw, honest truth from a client who struggled for over 40 years before finally breaking free. She reveals something most successful women will never admit: that asking for help felt like weakness—and that belief kept her trapped far longer than it should have. Why Successful Women Struggle Most With Weight Loss | The Truth About Asking for Help [Podcast #697 ] In episode #697 of The JoLynn Braley Show, you'll hear Barb share about how her "I can do everything myself" mindset kept her stuck in the struggle with food and her weight. Here's what Barb said: "I will tell you the one hurdle for me when I was thinking about signing up for the program that if anybody who ever hears this has that, they need to listen up because I was so independent and so self-sufficient and I prided myself on not needing help and I perceived that taking help from someone else was a weakness, and in the cutthroat business that I was in, I always felt that if I had to rely on someone else or take advice from someone else in the position that I was in, I would become vulnerable. And what I have learned through your program and what has helped me in business and everything else is that realizing when you need help and seeking help from a competent source is not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength." "I perceived that taking help from someone else was a weakness..." This is the part of the weight loss struggle that no one talks about. The part that doesn't show up in before-and-after photos or motivational Instagram posts.
