This means getting serious about doing the real work and not expecting a complete transformation in a few weeks or even a after a month. Yes, it’s human nature to want a softer, easier way, and because of that, to become a shiny object chaser – wanting to try the latest diet gimmick or cleanse – but after years of yo-yo dieting that doesn’t work and getting fatter in the process, hopefully you come to a place where your yo just doesn’t want to go any
longer.
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 something truly revolutionary, I suggest getting real with yourself and looking 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 revolutionary change.
Wanna start a revolution?
Start right here by asking yourself this question:
What’s really holding me back from losing weight and/or overcoming overeating?
After you answer the question, ask yourself this:
What am I going to do about it?
If you’re not going to take action, I suggest you make peace with the situation, as nothing’s going to change.
If you’re ready to take action and create some changes, contact me, I’d love to be your coach on your journey to a new you. I offer a free consultation to get started.
