Have you ever stood in front of the mirror, repeating mantras like “I love my body” or “I’m enough,” only to feel that little voice in your head whispering, “Who are you kidding?” In this episode of Outweigh, Leanne Ellington breaks down why the “just think positive” approach doesn’t work—and what’s really keeping you from truly loving yourself.

Leanne gets real about her own struggles—how she grew up battling food and body shame, even after losing nearly 100 pounds, and why it took more than weight loss to break free. She explains why so many women get stuck feeling like self-love and positivity are unattainable, and how those feel-good mantras can actually make you feel worse when your brain doesn’t buy into them.

So what’s missing? It’s the brain wiring beneath the surface that no amount of mantras or affirmations can fix. Leanne shares how negative beliefs and self-criticism get hardwired into your brain and create resistance—leading you to feel like a fraud. And why jumping straight to self-love can backfire if you haven’t addressed those deeper stories and beliefs that are running the show.

If Positive Mantras Feel Like a Lie, Here’s What You’re Missing

“She spent decades caring for everyone else. But at 62, Lisa finally learned how to care for herself.”

Meet Lisa.

For over 20 years, Lisa felt trapped in a relentless food and diet prison. Food carried the weight of shame and guilt, and she was stuck in the endless cycle of dieting, losing, and regaining.

And after the heartbreaking loss of her husband, Lisa poured herself into being a caretaker, forgetting entirely what it looked like to care for herself.

Diets had eluded her.
She felt helpless and isolated, unsure if freedom was even possible.
And she was tired of the Weight Watchers cycle—knowing another round of restriction wasn’t the answer.

But deep down, Lisa had hope. She knew there had to be a better way to heal her relationship with food, her body, and herself.

That’s when Lisa made the decision to commit to herself for the first time in decades.

She took a leap of faith and began her journey to heal her body and mind—not through dieting, but through transformation of her brain.

And the results? Nothing short of life-changing.

In this inspiring interview, Lisa shares:
How she found life again after the loss of her husband.
Why ditching the diet mentality was the key to her freedom.
How, at 62 years old, she reclaimed her health, her confidence, and her groove!

Lisa’s story is proof that it’s never too late to start again—and that freedom is possible at any age.

Getting Her Groove Back at 62: A Story of Healing, Strength, and New Beginnings After Losing Her Husband

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/7ac224a4-4dc7-4397-a791-b3dc00063ea1/transcript

If you’ve tried Intuitive Eating and found yourself even more confused, ashamed, or convinced you’re “broken,” this episode is for you. We’re digging into the hidden reason why “just listen to your body” often fails women who’ve used food to cope with stress, loneliness, or chronic dieting for decades. It’s not that Intuitive Eating is flawed—it’s that your brain’s wiring may be drowned out by emotional triggers and old habits, making it impossible to hear your body’s cues.

Join Leanne as she unpacks how Intuitive Eating can overlook the deeper, brain-based loops that compel you to eat when you’re not hungry. She explores why willpower alone won’t break these patterns—and why self-blame isn’t the answer. If you’ve been shaming yourself for not “getting” Intuitive Eating, this conversation will free you from the myth that you’re the problem and shed light on the real path to finding peace with food and your body.
