Common Struggles Around Weight
Weight Stigma & Bias: Feeling judged by healthcare providers, media messages, or even loved ones because of your size.
Yo‑Yo Dieting Cycle: Restrictive plans that lead to temporary results, followed by frustration and regained weight.
Food Guilt & Shame: Stress around eating certain foods or patterns of "good" versus "bad" choices.
Plateaus & Setbacks: Hitting obstacles that derail progress and lower motivation.
Does that sound familiar? These are typical situations that can damage your confidence and general well-being.
Melissa’s Weight‑Inclusive Approach
Health First, Not Numbers: I prioritize physical and mental health markers (energy, mood, lab values) over the scale.
Welcome to All Bodies: Based on HAES (Health At Every Size) there is no golden BMI or optimum weight; instead, you should respect the uniqueness of your body and concentrate on your habits, which are under your control.
Building trust with your body's hunger, fullness, and satisfaction cues: is the foundation of Intuitive Eating.
Support that is compassionate and nonjudgmental: You are the expert in your own life. Never be ashamed; I'm here to listen, empower, and mentor.
