There’s something I want you to know about me, Laura Lloyd.

Something that makes me a uniquely valuable coach for someone like you.

Yes, I used to binge eat, and overeat too.

But that’s not all.

We likely also have personality traits in common.

Perfectionist. Ambitious. People-pleasing. Emotionally avoidant.

Don’t recognise these traits in yourself? Look closer.

These weren’t traits I used to recognise in myself either…

… before I realised that my eating was a byproduct of how I worked. 

 

Weight Loss Life Coach Laura Lloyd, habit change and addiction expert

Perfectionist

High expectations of self.

High standards for others.

Tendency to go ‘all in’ or do nothing.

Ambitious/Striving

Seek external success.

Comparison to others.

Believes more effort = results. 

People-pleasing

Longing for belonging.

Imagine others’ opinions.

Hungry for encouragement.

 

Emotionally avoidant

Love to work and be busy. 

Don’t notice many feelings at all. 

Feel mainly anxious. 

 

 

 

I’m not sure my colleagues at theguardian.com, or my university communications roles, or when I worked in theatre production, would have nailed me as a Type A personality either.

I wouldn’t have said I was perfectionist, because I worked hastily, hated double checking things, and was always 5 or 10 minutes late.

But the truth was, there was a perfectionist streak: I had very high internal standards for myself, and expected the same from others, often without even letting them know!

 

 

You see, it wasn’t until I discovered that my binge eating and overeating were side-effects of the try-hard, hustle-culture way I had created success, that I truly tackled my eating and overconsumption problems.

I grew up thinking I could do and become whatever I wanted, if I worked hard enough, right? I was ambitious, and I  had crazy high expectations of myself.

So why did I have all this private, shameful failure around food? Why was I binge eating, overeating?

I’d solved binge eating by my 20s, but I still hadn’t finished with food struggle.

What would it take for you to finish with your food fight and get on with your life?

In my 30s, I was doing a high-adrenaline job, and still eating emotionally – to procrastinate, to reward myself, to be a bit rock n’ roll and let loose.

So I set out to understand overeating from a new perspective.

There’s a lot of talk about ‘diet culture’ and how we rein ourselves in, and how that affects our eating psychology.

What’s unique about my work as a coach is that I have studied the flipside – how we push ourselves, and set ourselves crazy high expectations. 

I’m here to help you understand that how we do food, and our work ethic, are inextricably linked.

You’re smart.

You’ve got goals. You’re creative – ‘cos you’ve already tried tackling your issues with body and food yourself.

Should be doable, right? Professionally, you’re sooo capable.

Doesn’t add up! But look closer, and you’ll see that it makes perfect sense.

It did in my case. Let me explain with this 3-minute video.
