You don’t need better willpower to lose weight. I know, what!
Take it from someone who spent months telling myself..
“I need more willpower”
“I have no self-control ”
“I can’t keep chocolate in my house”
It’s this mindset that is going to keep you exactly where you are.
There is a reason you’re getting the results you’re getting.
And the sooner you accept that instead of jumping on the next restrictive diet or quick fix, the sooner you’ll be able to see the actual problem and change it.
The truth is, your motivation is probably good initially. You probably have great control to begin with. You might even see the number on the scale start to drop.
The PROBLEM is when your cravings begin. Your desire for “bad” or “off-limits” foods start to consume you.
Your cravings become so intense that you give in. But, you can’t just eat a few bites of this treat. You start feeling like you lack the willpower & can feel your motivation start to slip away. And the weight creeps back on.
You start to feel confused and incapable. You start to entertain the idea that weight loss is just not possible for you.
I have received SO MANY messages over the past few weeks from people telling me
– They’ve “tried everything and nothing is working”
– I’m being consistent and nothing is changing
– My diet is just as good as other peoples but mine isn’t getting me weight loss
– I lack willpower
The list goes on.
I’ve looked at their eating habits and I can see the problems immediately.
Their willpower is great. Their mindset is NOT.
I know it’s disheartening to FEEL like you’re doing all the right things and yet still not seeing results. Trust me I get it, I’ve been there.
But please hear me when I say this – if you’re not getting the results you want, there is a reason for it.
You have a choice. You can either
👉🏻 keep convincing yourself that certain food is “bad” and you have to keep restricting it to lose weight.
Or
👉🏻 you acknowledge that there are no “good” or “bad” foods and start practicing balance.
You’ve got this! It’s all about to unfold for you.
