Weight Is Not the Problem — It’s the Wound
Why Women’s Deepest Self-Limiting Belief Isn’t About Their Body, But About Their Worth
We need to talk about something we’ve been carrying for far too long — and I’m not talking about pounds.
I’m talking about the shame, the self-criticism and the belief that our weight determines our worth.
For so many women — especially those of us 50 and beyond — weight has become the barrier. The one thing that stops us from showing up fully, raising our hand, being seen, feeling sexy, applying for the job, going after the dream, even looking ourselves in the mirror with love.
But here’s the truth: our weight is not the real issue.
The real wound runs deeper. It’s the conditioning. The decades of messages we’ve received that we must be smaller — in body, in voice, in presence — to be acceptable. To be safe. To be loved.
From the moment we were little girls, we were praised for being “good,” not for being powerful. We were told our value was in how we looked, not in what we dreamed, built or believed. And over time, we started shrinking. Not just our bodies — but our lives.
We carry so many gifts. We’re smart, resilient, intuitive, strong, nurturing, resourceful. And yet, the number on the scale becomes the one thing we believe disqualifies us from being great.
Let’s be clear: this is not about weight loss. This is about healing the wound that made us believe our body is the problem.
What if your body wasn’t broken?
What if it was just trying to protect you from a world that told you to be less?
The emotional weight we carry — from trauma, betrayal, burnout, perfectionism and the impossible standards we’ve tried to meet — often shows up physically. And then we punish ourselves for it. The cycle is cruel. And it’s time to end it.
What if we stopped fighting our bodies and started listening to them instead?
What if we made peace, not war?
What if we decided that we are enough — right now, not ten pounds from now?
In my coaching, I help women untangle this deep-rooted belief. I guide them through gentle trauma release and self-love practices that help them remember who they are underneath the shame.
And what happens when we do that?
We begin to feel free. We feel joy. We start living — not just surviving. We show up. We say yes. We say no. We walk into rooms like we belong there — because we do.
If you’ve been waiting to “fix” your body before you finally feel good about yourself — I’m here to tell you: you don’t have to wait anymore.
You are not too late to feel great.
The healing begins when we stop trying to lose weight and start reclaiming our worth.
