Are you ready to finally get to the bottom of why you struggle to lose weight? AND move past it?
Spoiler: It’s not because you can’t stick with Keto or hate running.
Even if you do struggle with your diet or just can’t find the motivation to exercise, I guarantee that is not the problem.
Those are only symptoms of something below the surface that you likely don’t even realize.
Imagine if you will, that your brain is a computer. A very smart, very efficient computer. And it runs on subconscious programming (or wiring) that gets you through your daily life, usually on autopilot.
Most of these programs are set when we are children in response to things we are taught or that happen to us – positive or negative, minor or traumatic. Negative or traumatic experiences create emotional wounds in us that often do not heal, which affect our programming.
Those programs become your underlying beliefs and the subsequent habits they create to make sure you’re living in line with your beliefs. Brains are hard-wired to make sure you ALWAYS act in line with your beliefs.
Beliefs that can sabotage every effort you make to lose weight. Why? Because those beliefs might sound something like this, even if you aren’t aware of it:
I don’t matter.
I’m not worth the time it takes to exercise.
Everyone else’s needs are more important than mine.
It’s bad to be or want to be skinny.
There’s never enough so I have to eat a lot just in case.
All of which stem from a lack of self love, which leads to self-sabotaging habits that you just can’t shake. Because we always act in line with our beliefs.
In my experience, the people who do not struggle with their weight, do not have many (or any) deep wounds about food and/or their bodies. Or they have overcome them. Which means that what they believe is positive:
It’s easy for me to maintain my ideal weight.
I make time to exercise every day because I’m important and it makes me feel good.
I stop eating when I’m satisfied.
I only eat enough to fuel my desired activity level.
The root of these positive beliefs is self-love and respect for one’s body, which in turn creates loving and nurturing habits. Because we always act in line with our beliefs.
So all those diets you’ve tried that have failed? The weight you’ve lost and gained back? All the money you’ve spent on gym memberships that didn’t get you anywhere? Those are frustrating examples of self-sabotage from your underlying beliefs. Because we always act in line with our beliefs.
The good news? You can heal your wounds and change those underlying beliefs so you can finally let go of what’s weighing you down.
AND, you can have fun doing it.
