Willpower doesn’t work for weight loss, and I’m sure you already know this…
How many times have you gone on a diet and thought to yourself…”I’d be more successful if I only had more willpower”?
You eventually give up, blame yourself for being weak and go back to your old eating habits.
I want to reassure you that it’s not your fault. The only thing you did wrong was to actually believe that having more “willpower” would have made the difference.
The definition of willpower is to control exerted to do something or restrain impulses.
Exerting willpower will only last so long. This is why you lose some weight only to gain it back again and end up going from one diet to the next.
It’s no wonder that so many people I speak with don’t actually believe that they could really ever lose the weight and keep it off. This belief will lead to continuous self-sabotage and yo-yo dieting.
When it comes to losing weight, I’ve got some good news and I’ve got some bad news.
The bad news is you will never lose weight and keep it off if you continue to attempt to summon up enough willpower to get you to your goal weight.
I expect if you already tried it enough times you don’t need me to tell you that…you’ve experienced it.
The good news is that it IS possible to lose weight and keep it off.
As a nutritionist and weight loss coach my expertise is helping clients lose weight for good by teaching them how to break their old sabotaging habits and patterns that stand in the way of their weight loss.
How to Break Sabotaging Habits and Patterns
By changing your old beliefs to new empowering beliefs and re-programming your thoughts which will enable you create a new way of being around food and eating.
I know it doesn’t sound as enticing as lose 10lbs in 4 weeks but…it’s the facts.
You see, it’s your own thinking that sabotages you EVERY time you attempt to lose weight. It’s your brain that needs some re-wiring because your brain believes what you tell it the most.
How many times do you say to yourself “I know what to do I just can’t do it” or “I’ll be better tomorrow” or “I’ll never be thin”?
It’s not that you can’t do it. That’s not the problem.
The problem is how you are thinking about the problem.
And that’s why you have to change your old faulty thinking.
Why Willpower Doesn’t Work for Weight Loss & What Do Instead
So, if you are not getting the weight loss results that you want, you first have to learn how to change what you believe about food and weight loss so that you can create the results that you want…lasting weight loss,
Going on a diet, restricting your food and willpower NEVER works. You have to change the inside before you can change your outside.
In my step-by-step lasting weight loss program I teach you how to get clarity on the beliefs that sabotage you and how to change those beliefs so that you can change your old self-sabotaging thoughts to thoughts that SERVE you and your goals.
This is the key to breaking your old self-sabotaging patterns.
Stopping the self-sabotage will allow you to achieve the weight loss results you have been working so hard to achieve all of these years.
Here are a few steps that you can take right now to start uncovering and changing your old limiting beliefs.
1) Write a list of thoughts that you hear yourself say that isn’t truth or fact. For example:
- I don’t have the time
- I’m destined to be fat
- I could never do that
- I will never lose weight no matter what I do
- I will probably fail again anyway
- It doesn’t matter…
- I don’t care
2) Then write a new and empowering belief next to the limiting belief . Change it to an I CAN vs. an I CAN’T belief.
3) Make a decision to focus on the new belief. Each time you hear your old belief in your head, redirect the thought to your new belief. The more you do this the more you brain will be re-wired for the new belief. The brain believes what you tell it the most.
If you’ve been struggling with your weight for more years than you care to count, stop blaming yourself.
All of those diets you’ve been in the past on never gave you the tools you need to change and to be successful at weight loss.
When you pay attention to your old thought patterns you will begin to discover what’s been keeping you stuck in the weight loss/re-gain trap. Only then can you change it,
