"Conventional weight-loss programs, GLP-1s, gastric bypass, and fad diets aren't the magic bullets everyone hoped for. More often than not, people lose some weight, return to old eating patterns, and then promptly regain what they lost. With 85 percent of people discontinuing their GLP-1 medications within two years, one question remains unavoidable: Why is losing weight-and keeping it off-so difficult? Best-selling author and expert in the psychology of eating, Susan Peirce Thompson has the answer: three science-backed identity shifts that will promote lasting change at the deepest level and rewire your relationship with food, dieting, and yourself: ¨ You are devoted. No more bargaining or food chatter. Design your Maintenance plan and commit to it fully. ¨ You are resourced. No more eating your feelings. Identify emotional triggers and build powerful skills to meet life without excess food. ¨ You are liberated. No more tinkering with the last few pounds. Step into peace, joy, and fulfillment in a body-and life-you trust. It's time to let go of the diet mentality and achieve long-term weight stability and freedom around food. Because maintenance isn't magic-it's a mindset"-- Provided by publisher.
