This space is designed for people who want to understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and build a steadier relationship with change, not intensity.
Who the SDG Weight Loss Space is for
You feel stuck in all-or-nothing cycles — starting strong, then stopping
You know what to do, but struggle with consistency over time
Stress, anxiety, or mental load make weight loss feel harder than it “should”
You're a stress or emotional eater and it's getting in the way of your sustainable weight loss.
You overthink decisions around food and worry about doing things “wrong”
Perfectionism leads to frustration, burnout, or giving up
You find yourself catastrophizing setbacks (“I’ve blown it anyway”)
You’re tired of surface-level advice and want to understand why this keeps happening
You want a calmer, more thoughtful approach — not more pressure or motivation
Your progress isn't slow because they’re lazy, unmotivated, or incapable, but because:
+ stress gets in the way
+ perfectionism creeps in
+ all-or-nothing thinking takes over
+ the nervous system is overwhelmed
+ life happens
There's more to weight loss... and this space addresses it.
Achieving sustainable weight loss isn't just
about food; it's also
about learning to
change how you think.
Why the weight loss space Exists
"down another 1.4 pounds (8.5 total)! so many gains in confidence, new ways of thinking, and better habits."
-AH
"I am finally making progress, and I have not given up. I remain persisten,t and I have hope now that I can achieve my goals. My hope had been dwindling before I joined"
-ST
"As of today, I am 60% to my goal weight!! I can wear clothes I haven't been able to wear in 4 years. Welcome back, closet!!
-MB
Lasting change requires:
+ understanding how the brain works, and being able to change yours
+ learning how to regulate stress and emotions
+ learning how to actually feel your feelings to end emotional eating
+ rebuilding trust with your body
+ learning how to take the small steps instead of constant all-or-nothing efforts
Here, I bring all of that together in one supportive, flexible space.
I know, because I was you. I've been in your shoes, and I've thought your thoughts...
My name is Maya, I'm the owner here at Southwest Dietitian Group, an 18-year dietitian who's been in your shoes, thought your thoughts, lost - and kept off - over 75 pounds, and helped thousands of my clients do the same through the years...
NOT through shakes and meal replacements, but through the missing links you haven't yet tried in this way: the right plan for you and the foundations that make the results stick for good by learning to THINK and DO, differently."
nutrition knowledge alone isn’t enough...
Maya’s Perspective
"I’ve spent years working with people who were doing “all the right things,” yet still felt stuck, frustrated, or discouraged.
Or, have been on 998 diets... with inconsistent results.
People who have calculated and planned the perfect weight loss schedule for the wedding or vacation... that never actually works out, ever.
Who've started fresh every Monday morning with the perfect plan... only to find themselves completely off plan by dinner if calories were too high or got a case of the F-its.
Who have at least three different sizes of clothes in their closet, like a timeline of your diet history. Size 8 jeans from "that good month," size 12 from "vacation recovery," and size 14 from "I'll start Monday" season.
What I saw again and again was this:
Concepts and frameworks that align with your 1:1 care, creating continuity between dietitian visits and deeper learning.

How The Weight Loss Space Fits Into Your Care
The SDG Weight Loss Space is an optional layer of support.
Many people use this space alongside their dietitian visits. Others choose it simply for deeper learning. Participation is always optional.
There is no “right” path. This space exists to support those who want more depth.
