Confidence comes to those who dare to do. Self-doubt comes to those who sit around and wait. —Catherine L. Taylor
Do you know this scenario?
You start out all enthused about a new weight loss program and after a week or two you’re hit with a dark cloud of self-doubt. A little nagging voice tells you that you’re going to fail, or it asks, “Why in the world do you think this time will be any different?” It then goes on to shame you about all your
past failed attempts and tells you what a screw up you are. “You’re never going to be successful,” it says. And you conclude it’s right and follow it into the refrigerator, where failure is waiting to confirm the awful truth: you really don’t have what it takes.
Now, any motivation or excitement you had disappears and you’re left feeling ambivalent about
continuing. You tell yourself you might as well just keep eating or maybe you’ll decide to go back to Weight Watchers or try a new diet or program. And that will only last until the next dark cloud of doubt dumps all over you.
And the cycle repeats.
Sound familiar?
Self-doubt is a thief of the soul. It steals what's good and true about yourself and leaves nothing but confusion in its wake. You must not give it too much time and energy or your life will not move forward. You’ll be left in a fog wondering what happened to your dreams and desires.
Feed doubt and you get more doubt. Self-doubt makes you waffle. It makes your mind go in circles eventually driving you and everyone around you crazy. It’s as if you’ve been hit with a poisonous dart that paralyzes you. Here’s the truth about doubt. Self-doubt goes poof in the bright light of reality. In order to see through it, you must question it and as you do it will
disappear.
When doubt hits you need to ask yourself if what it is telling you is true. Some doubts are justified and are there to warn you, but if you are prone to attacks of self-doubt, these are usually unjustified. Just because you have failed in
the past doesn’t mean that this has to be a repeat.
You need to review your past attempts at weight loss and see why they didn’t work. You may need to set more realistic goals or learn new ways to deal with your emotions or stress, or work on your mindset so this time you can be successful. One of the biggest reasons people fail is that they quit too soon. Usually because of self-doubt! If they had
just stayed the course a bit longer they would have found that success was waiting for them right around the corner.
The antidote to self-doubt is faith. You're here right? You wouldn't have made it this far if you weren't capable of change, or surviving obstacles and setbacks. Give yourself credit where credit is due.
Make a list of all your strengths and accomplishments and when the cloud of self-doubt hits, review this list. You wouldn’t be here today if you hadn’t overcome challenges and setbacks. Nobody makes it into adulthood without overcoming some challenges.
Ok, you may be thinking, “Yes, I’ve accomplished a lot but I’ve failed repeatedly in the area of weight loss. I just can’t muster any more enthusiasm for it.”
Write this down and put it where you can see it:
My past failures don’t have to define me or be my future unless I allow them to.
If you keep giving in to self-doubt, you just repeat past scenarios and you never get a chance to see if you could be successful. Remember - quitting guarantees one thing – failure. And to not make a decision because of self-doubt is a decision
to do nothing. The only real failure in life is to not try.
When an attack of self-doubt hits, you need to understand it’s lying to you. It’s the thief of dreams. Stop listening to it. When it starts up, acknowledge it, then detach, and like a radio, change the channel. Repeat mantras and/or affirmations, focus on your strengths, ask the Universe for strength,
and move forward.
Nothing cuts through the fog of doubt like action! With each step forward, you begin to see self-doubt for what it really is: FEAR – False Evidence Appearing Real.
If I take action and keep moving
forward, I have nothing to lose but my self-doubt.

Most of us know by now that diets don’t work to keep the weight off long term. The number one reason diet and exercise
programs fail is because they don’t address the mind and emotions and these are what drive overeating. Weight loss begins in the mind and until you address your mindset and the real reasons you turn to food, success will continue to elude you.
The How You do Food is How You do Life Weight Loss and Emotional Eating Program® is designed to get at the core issues of
what triggers overeating. It provides you with solid strategies to overcome the reasons why you turn to food. This is the key to overcoming emotional eating and releasing the weight without dieting.
This 12 week program consists of 6 modules full of videos, audios, and pdf handouts. You will receive a new module every 2

Change begins in the mind, therefore weight loss begins in the mind. All behavior is first preceded by thought. Your thoughts create your feelings and beliefs, they in turn create your attitudes, and your beliefs and attitudes determine your actions and behavior. Therefore, your
thoughts create your reality.

The word affirm mean to “make firm.” This eBook and
the accompanying audio affirmations will show you how to shape a new body, mindset, and destiny for yourself – one affirmative thought at a time.

Why Weight Loss and Emotional Eating Coaching Works
One on one weight loss and emotional eating coaching can make a big difference in getting and keeping you on track to meet your weight loss, fitness, health and life goals. Many people need the personal support to keep accountable and on track. Sometimes just a few sessions can make
a big difference in your level of motivation and focus.
A study led by researchers at Duke University Medical Center and published in The Journal Of The American Medical Association showed that the people who lost the most weight and successfully kept it off have had
regular contact with a weight loss counselor.
If you have repeatedly lost weight and regained it or have failed to lose it in the first place, it may be time to admit defeat and get some help and learn some new ways of coping with life. Coaching can make the difference
between success and failure. The reason it works is it provides support, encouragement, structure, and accountability while teaching you some new life skills and coping tools. Many of us when left to our own devices soon lapse back into old unhealthy behaviors.
Coaching
helps you to navigate the change process and stay the course so that you can integrate new behaviors that will support you for a lifetime. Clients say this is the best money they have ever spent on themselves, especially after considering the costs of failed weight loss diets, foods, programs, gyms, and therapists.
Kaiser Permanente recently released the results of a health research study, in the April edition of Journal Of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, which offers new hope for binge and emotional eaters. This study showed that 63% of the people who were offered a 12 week "guided self-help" program that included eight sessions with a weight loss coach/health educator, (not a therapist), were able to quit bingeing completely within 6
months, as compared to 27% who were offered the usual care.
This study validates and supports the way I work with my clients with binge and emotional eating issues. I also offer 12 week sessions and my program is "guided self-help" as well. Clients are taught how to
identify and deal with their eating triggers, given weekly self-care assignments and exercises to complete, and then meet with me to discuss the results and get support. I also offer additional email support between visits. Note: I am not affiliated with Kaiser Permanente in any way.
This study is great news for people who cannot afford expensive eating disorder programs or sessions with a therapist. It shows that with the right support and tools, emotional and binge eating can be cured. As a former binge eater, I am living proof of this!
If you're ready to let go of your self-defeating patterns around food and weight, I'd love to work with you individually. Sometimes
all one needs are a few sessions to get motivated, inspired, and back on track.
