OUTWEIGH: The belief that happiness and confidence are tied to achieving a specific weight or size is one of the most common lies women tell themselves. In this episode, Amy and Leanne unpack how cultural conditioning and personal narratives convince us that joy is always “one goal away.” They’ll share real-life stories of why chasing a “goal body” doesn’t deliver lasting happiness and how you can start reframing your beliefs to cultivate happiness in the here and now.
Takeaway: Happiness isn’t a destination waiting for you at the end of a diet or goal—it’s something you can choose and create today by focusing on your inner world and aligning with what truly matters to you.

Happy Saturday? Outweigh Amy Here with my co host Leanne
Ellington Hayleyanne. Hello, Hello, and we have another special for you.
This is a series that Leanne came up with and
I am absolutely obsessed with it. It is called The
Lies Women Believe about their Bodies. And I just got
to say, if you're a guy listening right now, it's okay,
(00:55):
you could be believing lies about your bodies as well.
But Leanne and I are women and we interact mostly
with women on this topic. So that's the title of
the series, the lies women and maybe some men believe
about their bodies. And over the next four episodes, we're
going to be peeling back the layers on the beliefs
and stories that a lot of us carry, including me,
(01:16):
including Leanne. Stories that hold us back, stories that keep
us stuck, and stories that just stop us from living
in the freedom that we deserve. And Leanne and I
have been shackled before and now we both are experiencing
freedom and we want that for you listening as well.
And maybe you believe that your happiness is tied to
(01:37):
a number on the scale or a particular clothing size,
or maybe you have felt like you're the only one struggling,
or no matter what you do, like you will never
measure up if those sentences, those words resonate with you
in any way, shape or form. I mean, Leanne will
back me up on this. You are not alone, absolutely,
(02:00):
And so we're going to go into these lies. We're
gonna shine light on the truth and then help you
step into a new way of seeing yourself. Each episode
in this four part series is going to explore a
different lie. It's going to unpack keeping you stuck, like
whatever it is that's keeping you stuck, And we got
some tools for you, really practical, doable tools and strategies
(02:23):
that'll help you get that confidence that you desire, get
that peace and freedom that I don't know, Lanna, I mean,
I'll just speak for myself but I used to never
think that peace was possible for me. I just sort
of thought, well, this is just how I'm going to
live the rest of my life. I'm just wired this way,
and these are my thoughts and I'm going to always
have them. Beautiful thing is that is not the case.
(02:44):
I was completely wrong, and you can find peace and
freedom because here's the truth. You are more than a
number on the scale. You are more than whatever you
see in the mirror. You're more than what you've been
taught to believe about yourself. And and I just want
to encourage you with that. And so we're going to
dive in to the lies. We're going to rewrite the
(03:06):
stories that you have in your head. And that's what
we're going to do the next four weeks. Today, the
first lie is I'll be happy when. So that's what
we're going to focus on for today's episode. I will
be happy when. And I feel like we've all done this, Leanna,
why do you want this to be the number one
first episode? What we start with Live? Do you think
(03:28):
it's the most popular?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I think it is.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I think it's the most kind of deceptive and deceitful
and sneaky. You know, and I love everything about what
you just said. And really, you know, what we have
to keep in mind first and foremost is that I know,
for me, I was constantly trying to take logic and
reason approaches to my struggles and trying to like figure
it out and trying to dissect it. And you can
do all of the you know, brain change and behavior
change and all of that till the cows come home.
(03:52):
But if you are believing your way into an opposite direction,
your beliefs will out trump your behaviors every single time.
And that's why these are sot And so when we're
talking about these big, overarching or you know, meta beliefs,
this big, I'll be happy when and yes we're we
tend to talk about you know, we're talking about the
lies about that we believe about food in our bodies,
(04:12):
but this is really paramount everywhere in our life. It's pervasive.
I'll be happy when I lose the weight. I'll be
happy when I heal you know, my food and body struggles.
But then it can you know, exacerbate it outwards. I'll
be happy when I live in a different city, or
I'll be happy when I make that money, or when
I get that job, or I'm in that relationship, And
these are the kinds of things that we don't even
think about it because we're like, oh, that doesn't have
to do with food, or that doesn't have to do
(04:33):
with my actual physical health. But it absolutely does, because again,
we will never live and behave past.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Our beliefs or will always be trying.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
To outwill power, out discipline, outmotivate them, rather than just
go to the source of it, right, which is the
beliefs and what we're thinking, what we believe to be
true about ourselves, because we're kind of living in this
alternate universe or alternate reality, right, which is very different
than you know, imagination or envisioning or you know, that
side of things. And so when it comes to our
(05:03):
happiness being tied to a specific weight, to specific size
or appearance, it also keeps us from solving the real problem,
and it keeps us chasing these these kind of you know,
for lack of a way of saying it, worldly things,
these these outcome driven, quantifiable things that nobody says, like
I want to lose weight because I just love that
number on the scale. It's like, no, I want to
(05:23):
lose the weight because I want to feel free in
my body. I want to wear what I want to wear,
or do what I want to do, be who I
want to be.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Right, It's not about the thing itself.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Right, Nobody says I want to have a certain size
or appearance, you know, because this, again, this specific number,
means something to me.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Let me ask you a question though, regarding that land,
like when you had certain goals that you were trying
to get to, which is it's okay to still have
health goals in recovery. Right, I'm not saying we can't
have goals, because we can. However, in your disordered behavior,
if you had a goal and you got there, were
you happy? And if you were happy didn't last?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
It's like, if we are so busy looking for the
next thing, the next thing, the next thing, how are
we going to even know to enjoy it when it arrives.
If our nervous system, if our self image hasn't learned
to appreciate who we are, if all we know is
that nitpicky perfectionism never going to be enough, which is
another one that we're going to be talking about.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Right, you will, it will completely pass you by.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yeah, you're not it's fleeting and because you think it's
going to be a game changer. At least that was
my experience. It's like when I get to this weight
or achieve this goal with my body, food whatever, it
was fleeting. It was like, shoot, well this doesn't make
me as happy as I thought it was going too.
But there's momentary joy and like, oh okay, yeah I
(06:39):
did this, but then entered the next torture, the next goal,
which ended up being torture.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And here's the thing, like, think about it. I wanted
to look I was about to look up the actual statistic.
I'm sure somebody could find it very easily in a
quick google, but it's extremely high. I remember this that
the percentage of people that win the lottery, if they
have never learned and how to manage their thoughts and
beliefs and emotions and behaviors and patterns around money.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Again, you will always end up in alignment back with that.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Right, And so the percentage of people that make their
money through just literally winning the lottery and then end
up broke very quickly thereafter, versus people that make their
money through work and blood, sweat and tears and all
of that.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
It is it was a staggering number.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And so that's the kind of thing if you don't
become the version of yourself that can actually live that way.
And not to mention the habits as well, right because
it's like, if you're doing it in a way that
gets you to these unsustainable habits, you're not gonna be
able to keep it anyways. But this idea that you know,
there's this narrative of something that happens outside of us
that's going to make us happy, that's going to be
(07:41):
magically there at the end of a goal, or you know,
some sort of of danglin carrot, that is the biggest lie.
And here's the thing. You're also allowed to not be
happy with where you are. You're allowed to want to
up level and upgrade in all those things.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
But if you don't learn.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
How to cultivate and happiness is fleeting too. But like
even just cultivating peace in the moment right now while
you go, you're going to bring all of that energy.
You're going to bring that you know, weathered nervous system
with you into it. And so even like who you
will be at the end of that rainbow when you
get there, are you going to like her. Are you
going to trust her, are you going to value her?
(08:20):
Are you going to be able to.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Depend on her?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
These are the kinds of things that nobody talks about,
and you'll never like bridge that gap with weight loss alone.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yeah. I just tried to look up the lottery statistics
and mostly I just found a bunch of articles saying
that their happiness level did not increase when they were
measured against a control gun. Yeah, of people that had
not won the lottery.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Okay, so I just chat gpt'ed it.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So obviously chat gpt is the new Google nowadays, right,
But it.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Says seventy percent of lottery winners go broke within a
few years.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
So it's seventy percent, and it says some key reasons
include lack of financial literal literacy, overspending on lavish lifestyles,
poor investment decisions, and then difficulty adjusting to a new
financial reality. So insert fill in the blank for anything
that I just said. Those factors transfer over to everything else, right,
And so part of it just to kind of sum
this up, like, yes, it's about the beliefs, but it's
(09:16):
also about practically saying like okay, well, then what beliefs
do I need if I want to be happy at
the end of this metaphorical rainbow, right, It's like, okay,
if I'll.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Be happy, when is the lie? What's the truth?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Right?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
And the truth is really that first and foremost happiness,
joy piece all the things that you're looking for. It's
not waiting for you at the end of this diet
or this goal or this again metaphorical rainbow. It's something
that you can choose now by learning to reframe your
beliefs about yourself, by learning to know create self worth
and self image and peace in your nervous system, working
(09:48):
on your inner while you go work on that physical stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You're allowed to have.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
The physical goals make you happier or better or healthier.
But like if it is the sole source of happiness
that you think you're depending on, we're just inviting you
to look at it as the lie.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
I'm glad you clarified that, because there can be satisfaction
in achieving your goals. What I was implying earlier was
exactly that that if that's the soul reason why you're
doing something is to kind of feed that monster that's
in us, those of us that have distorted body image,
stuff or disordered eating behaviors, just to.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Clarify, it's not either or it's and slash both get
the happiness now and get it while you go, versus like, oh,
I'll just wait now and I have it then or
I have it now.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I think too, like you could answert it, like depending
on how you grew up, Like when we're little girls,
it's like, well, I'll be happy when I meet the
right person and I get right and then you end
up forcing that and you don't end up in this
right situation because you aren't approaching it in a healthy manner.
It's more just a checkbox.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yeah, what you're willing to receive, Like what kind of
relationship is it? Same thing? What kind of body do
you want? Do you want it?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Like? You know, for me it was I was air
quote skinny on the outside and so unhealthy on the inside,
you know, and I sacrifice my health for skinny.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
So these are the.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Kinds of distinctions that are so important to highlight. And
I love that you just threw that and it's so true.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yeah, I think back to I've shared this before, but
one of my mentors that was walking through my bolima
when I was younger, and she was a former bleemic
but she just said, you have to look at it
like a slow suicide. I was slowly killing my insides
every time I was participating in that behavior, but it
(11:30):
was to help me get towards a goal. And outwardly
sometimes I would seem totally fine, but I don't have
a clue what was going on internally with some of
my organs and my esophagus. But then, you know, you
get to a point where you can see inflammation, you
can see it on the outside, and I look back
at pictures and I'm like, oh, that's so obvious, and
I see the pain in my face. But more than
(11:50):
just the physical pain my body was probably experiencing, I
feel the emotional pain that I felt at that time
because I was hurting, but I definitely was chasing well,
I'll be happy when in So this is definitely more
than just the nugget that we give you on Saturdays.
It's a big topic. It's a big topic. This is
just something that is for you to listen to every Saturday.
(12:11):
We give short segments so it's not overwhelming or short episodes,
and then we're going to continue the series. So next Saturday,
we're gonna be touching on I'm the only one who
feels this way or struggles like this, which is sort
of what I shared earlier, of like, I have these
thoughts and I'm just going to have them for the
rest of my life. And I literally thought I was
the only one in the world, and then when you
(12:32):
open up and talk about it, you talk to other
people and you're like, oh wow, Okay, so I'm not
the only person that thinks this way. So we'll continue
our series The Lies Women Believe about their Bodies next Saturday.
Until then, Leanne, where can people find you?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You can head on over to stresslesseeding dot com and
I'll walk you through a brain based version to just
really heal your mind, soul, spirit, self image, and brain
when it comes to your relationship with food and your body.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah, Land's the expert, and I'm very thankful for her insight.
I am at radio a me on Instagram and we'll
see you later. Bye bye, mm hmm.
I won't let my body out be outwait everything that
I'm made, don't won't spend my life trying to change.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I'm learning love who I am. I'm strong, I feel free,
I know every part of me. It is beautiful.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
And then will always out way if you feel.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It with your hands, and there she'll some love to
the mood. Why have there take you?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
One day?

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Okay, so I just chat gpt'ed it.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So obviously chat gpt is the new Google nowadays, right,
But it.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Says seventy percent of lottery winners go broke within a
few years.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
So it's seventy percent, and it says some key reasons
include lack of financial literal literacy, overspending on lavish lifestyles,
poor investment decisions, and then difficulty adjusting to a new
financial reality. So insert fill in the blank for anything
that I just said. Those factors transfer over to everything else, right,
And so part of it just to kind of sum
this up, like, yes, it's about the beliefs, but it's
(09:16):
also about practically saying like okay, well, then what beliefs
do I need if I want to be happy at
the end of this metaphorical rainbow, right, It's like, okay,
if I'll.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Be happy, when is the lie? What's the truth?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Right?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
And the truth is really that first and foremost happiness,
joy piece all the things that you're looking for. It's
not waiting for you at the end of this diet
or this goal or this again metaphorical rainbow. It's something
that you can choose now by learning to reframe your
beliefs about yourself, by learning to know create self worth
and self image and peace in your nervous system, working
(09:48):
on your inner while you go work on that physical stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You're allowed to have.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
The physical goals make you happier or better or healthier.
But like if it is the sole source of happiness
that you think you're depending on, we're just inviting you
to look at it as the lie.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
I'm glad you clarified that, because there can be satisfaction
in achieving your goals. What I was implying earlier was
exactly that that if that's the soul reason why you're
doing something is to kind of feed that monster that's
in us, those of us that have distorted body image,
stuff or disordered eating behaviors, just to.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Clarify, it's not either or it's and slash both get
the happiness now and get it while you go, versus like, oh,
I'll just wait now and I have it then or
I have it now.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I think too, like you could answert it, like depending
on how you grew up, Like when we're little girls,
it's like, well, I'll be happy when I meet the
right person and I get right and then you end
up forcing that and you don't end up in this
right situation because you aren't approaching it in a healthy manner.
It's more just a checkbox.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yeah, what you're willing to receive, Like what kind of
relationship is it? Same thing? What kind of body do
you want? Do you want it?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Like? You know, for me it was I was air
quote skinny on the outside and so unhealthy on the inside,
you know, and I sacrifice my health for skinny.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
So these are the.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Kinds of distinctions that are so important to highlight. And
I love that you just threw that and it's so true.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yeah, I think back to I've shared this before, but
one of my mentors that was walking through my bolima
when I was younger, and she was a former bleemic
but she just said, you have to look at it
like a slow suicide. I was slowly killing my insides
every time I was participating in that behavior, but it
(11:30):
was to help me get towards a goal. And outwardly
sometimes I would seem totally fine, but I don't have
a clue what was going on internally with some of
my organs and my esophagus. But then, you know, you
get to a point where you can see inflammation, you
can see it on the outside, and I look back
at pictures and I'm like, oh, that's so obvious, and
I see the pain in my face. But more than
(11:50):
just the physical pain my body was probably experiencing, I
feel the emotional pain that I felt at that time
because I was hurting, but I definitely was chasing well,
I'll be happy when in So this is definitely more
than just the nugget that we give you on Saturdays.
It's a big topic. It's a big topic. This is
just something that is for you to listen to every Saturday.
(12:11):
We give short segments so it's not overwhelming or short episodes,
and then we're going to continue the series. So next Saturday,
we're gonna be touching on I'm the only one who
feels this way or struggles like this, which is sort
of what I shared earlier, of like, I have these
thoughts and I'm just going to have them for the
rest of my life. And I literally thought I was
the only one in the world, and then when you
(12:32):
open up and talk about it, you talk to other
people and you're like, oh wow, Okay, so I'm not
the only person that thinks this way. So we'll continue
our series The Lies Women Believe about their Bodies next Saturday.
Until then, Leanne, where can people find you?

I'll walk you through a brain based version to just
really heal your mind, soul, spirit, self image, and brain
