As a weight loss specialist, I see people struggle with losing weight. They blame their genetics, they talk about how hard it is or they comment that they were just born big boned (I don’t even know what that means).
Perhaps the real reason people are having trouble with the weight loss is because they are creating resistance with the way that they talk to themselves and others. Have you ever told someone that losing weight was hard? Have you ever referred to yourself as “fluffy” or “chunky”? Have you ever told yourself or others that you always lose weight but put it back on 6 months later? These statements may seem innocent but if you realized that by saying them you are reaffirming them as your reality you may change your tune. By repeating these statements you are literally setting yourself up for failure.
I encourage you to read these 3 weight loss secrets and then ask yourself if you are guilty of self-sabotaging your results.
Secret #1 Act as if. When you act as if you are already where you want to be something magical happens. The infamous Jim Rohn said that you have to be who you want to become. What does the even mean? Let’s take a moment to imagine that if you were at your goal weight, how would you act? What would you be doing? Who would you be hanging out with? What emotions would you be experiencing? What activities would you be participating in? What thoughts would you be thinking?
Then ask yourself if you are doing those things now? If not, do it.
Secret #2 Evaluate your habits – This goes along with the act as if statement above. What habits would you have if you were at your goal weight? Take a moment to jot down your current habits and then evaluate which ones are serving you and which ones are not. Not sure what your habits are? What do you do in the morning when you wake up? What do you do before going to bed? Start to bring awareness to what you do before each event. What do you do for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Do you have similar thought habits before each meal? You may be surprised to find habits you didn’t even realize you had.
After you take appraisal of what your habits are, find which ones are not serving you and then pick one habit you would like to change over the course of the next month. Do this over the course of a year and you will have an entirely different life.
Secret #3 Go from wanting to expecting results.
This may sound funny but when we go from wanting something to expecting it, the energy of the situation changes. Take this idea for a test drive. Imagine waking up and EXPECTING to make the right choices, expecting to receive support from your loved ones and EXPECTING results.
When we live in a world of “wanting” we are simultaneously living in fear. Fear of failure, judgment and criticism.
When we make this simple shift we are demanding instead of wishing for our end result.
If you combine these three top-secret secrets with exercise, a healthy diet and a burning desire as to WHY you want to lose weight then you will be UNSTOPPABLE. Nothing will stand in your way and you will be on the high road to success.
