And if you’re someone like them who can’t seem to drop the weight, are stuck in the “I know what do to, I just don’t do it” loop, or lack motiviation to get started…
This is the 5 minute fix.
If you’re actively wanting to try to lose the weight but it’s not coming off, it’s either you don’t care that it isn’t, or you care too much..
You have SO many things you need to do in order to see the scale move, that it would take SO MUCH of your time, that you would have to give up your mental health, spending time with kids etc to make it happen that you HAVE to let the weight lose go by the wayside (aka don’t care)
Meaning.
You have SO many things you need to do in order to see the scale move, that it would take SO MUCH of your time, that you would have to give up your mental health, spending time with kids etc to make it happen that you HAVE to let the weight lose go by the wayside (aka don’t care)
OR
You give up all of the mental health, all of the extra time, and have SO MUCH pressure on yourself to be perfect for this outcome, that when there is an eventual hiccup… the whole thing crumbles under the pressure.
Problem because neither of these get you to where you want to go.
Step 1: Zoom Out.
Let’s say you’re like my average client who has 50 lbs to lose.
and you have 1 year to lose it.
That’s less than 1 lb per week.
(And you might even get mad at losing just a pound per week)
So push the goal out in front of you, less than 1lb per week is incredibly reasonable
*Hint do this*
Step 2: Write down all the things you “have” to do.
Go to bed by 10, Eat no carbs, never go out with friends, exercise 6 days a week for 2 hours a time, Buy spandex shorts and hike them up so high they become a second layer of skin, etc.
Step 3: How do you know each of these is true?
*GASP* Cross off the ones you DO NOT know are true. (Not a belief like eating carrots are bad, a fact. And not a my truth fact, like a fact fact.)
Step 4: Do what’s left.
Step 5: Get results.
If you are unsure of which things to do, or if your list goes completely blank, I have a video RIGHT HERE you can watch that covers the process I use to help my clients lose the weight and keep it off long term.
