The Secret I have Found To Losing Weight
MINDSET WORK
I have been doing a lot of mindset work with my personal business coach and mentor. Something I already knew she reminds me of daily “our thoughts create our feelings which create our actions.” I realized that this mirrors my fitness and weight loss journey too. I started my fitness journey at 215 pounds 7 kids later. I tried so many diets and I “failed” at them all and then reward myself with junk.
THE THOUGHTS I HAD WHEN I WAS 215 POUNDS:
"I’ll never be able to actually change.”
“I don’t have what it takes.”
“I guess I am destined to be overweight for the rest of my life.”
“It’s too hard.”
“I have too far to go.”
"I have 7 kids it's expected of me."
"I don't know where to start."
None of these were positive thoughts and it was too overwhelming and stressful. I doubted myself that I could actually be successful. Every time that I fell off I was simply proving myself right, I could not be successful at losing weight.
I FINALLY MADE A COMMITMENT TO MINDSET
I changed my thought on 16 YEARS ago after the birth of my 7th baby. Rather than thinking I had to far too go and I would never be able to change. I changed my thought to be:
“I am not going to quit this time.”
That thought made me feel empowered, in control, optimistic. I had the feelings and thoughts of when it gets hard, I am not going to quit. When I said the words:
“I refuse to quit this time.”
…it felt really good. When I felt good, I was then able to take positive actions. Figuring out how to overcome my excuses, showing up for myself even when it was hard, working through my struggles . It is easy to search for a quick fix when maybe it’s not a quick fix we need, we need to fix what’s inside of us first. Weight loss is not a secret, it’s science. It’s just having the right mindset. But is your mindset serving you? I know mindset work is not the most favorite thing for a lot of people , however it’s a game changer. Here is what you need to know:
You can do a lot of things but you aren’t going to find success until your mindset matches your actions.
Your mindset is going to lead those actions.
You cannot create a positive result from a negative place.
We can only give to others what we have if were empty and coming from a negative mindset it's what were giving back out to others.
Maybe as you read this you are in a place of negative talk and need that boost that mindset change and your ready to do what it takes to get there .
