Many people come to me when they’re in this place. They’re in deep despair because they just can’t bring themselves to diet anymore. They’ve hit a bottom with dieting and they think
this means they’re never going to lose weight and I tell them that actually they’re in a very good place. This is when they’re finally ready to let go of dieting and become receptive to learning a new way.
For anything new to happen, you have to be open and willing. And often, you have to have exhausted your other
options. You also have to let go of the old and create a space for the new to appear.
Transformation isn’t all bliss. It’s really a little death; a letting go, or a shedding of an old skin. Change involves loss. Transformation is a bit disorienting because as we move forward into the new, we are temporarily on shaky
ground. This can be anxiety provoking. Many people would rather stay safe and cozy in their comfort zone than face their fears and shortcomings, and move forward.
True change is challenging and that’s the truth. But if you want to grow, you have to get honest with yourself and embrace
challenges.
So, if you want to look for something new, I suggest getting real with yourself and look within. It’s usually the last place anyone looks for answers, especially when it comes to food and weight. You have all that you need inside of you to create a true transformation in your
life.
Start right here by asking yourself these questions:
What’s really holding me back from losing weight and/or overcoming
overeating?
What attitudes, habits, and limiting beliefs are keeping me stuck?
After you answer the question, ask yourself
this:
What am I going to do about it?
New!
