Are you ready for it? Because this week we’re diving DEEP and getting into the mindset issues that can block your weight loss success. It’s a tough topic, Killer Bs, but you are definitely tougher!
And while we’re chatting, Let’s RUN (and walk)! I’ve got the handy-dandy Gymboss set for one minute intervals that you can use in any manner that suits you best.
THE WEIGHT LOSS PROCESS. Sometimes even thinking about trying to lose weight is where we get stuck, because we bog ourselves down with ideas like “I have to eat healthy” or “I have to give up my favorite foods” or “I have to exercise all the time,” etc.
YOUR BODY. Yes, it used to be easier to lose weight when we were younger. Yes, your body behaved differently before kids. Yes, puberty / childbirth / menopause has changed everything. None of these things are reasons why you can’t lose weight now, but we sure think so.
YOUR FAMILY OR FRIENDS. Wanting to lose weight sometimes means we want something different than the people we love the most, and that can bring up feelings of guilt.
WHO YOU’LL BECOME. What if you start to put yourself and your needs first? What does that mean about you? (Hint: it’s not what you think!)
There’s a lot to dig through here, so let me lay out what this process looks like:
Step 1: Start listening to your thoughts! What are you saying to yourself over and over that’s blocking you from success?
Step 2: Believe that you can change your mind. Because you can!
Step 3: Practice your new thoughts daily. Daily. Every day. I can’t be more clear about this: D A I L Y.
Step 4: Keep moving forward. Weight loss still comes down to eating the right number of calories every day!
My friends, working through your weight loss mindset issues isn’t going to be easy, but it will be SO worth it in the end.
You can do this!
