Have you ever lost weight on a diet and then overtime, gradually regained every pound and a bit more?

How did it make you feel?

What if I told you that you could win the battle of the bulge and STAY THERE if you added just one simple ingredient?

Changing how you feel on the inside

Focusing on food alone when you’re on a diet and not adding in the work on how you feel about yourself from the inside, is the same as driving a car and focusing on where you’re going and NOT making sure that the car is functioning properly and has enough oil and water. You will only get so far and then you’ll eventually run out of steam. The car will come to an abrupt halt before you even get to your destination.

It’s so important to set the foundation towards a healthy weight. If you don’t have a strong self image from the start, even if you do achieve the weight loss you aimed for, you’ll still think of yourself as an overweight person and eventually, it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The weight will gradually creep back on because you won’t be acting like a healthy person. You’ll go back to your pre-diet ways because that’s what feels more aligned with your beliefs.

Let me explain that a little more…

If you believe you are not worthy of a healthy weight or you believe you are a naturally ‘big’ person, how can your subconscious do anything else but give you what you believe in?

When I was a little girl, my Nan used to lovingly tell me that I mustn’t worry about my big tummy because I was just ‘big-boned‘. For some reason, that stuck and since then I always believed I was big-boned and therefore could never be slim. It didn’t stop me from trying to prove her wrong though.

Now don’t get me wrong, she wasn’t being nasty. She loved me more than I can explain and I loved her just as much. She was just trying to make me feel better because I was so unhappy that I was heavier than a lot of the other children. But that tiny comment, led to a really unhelpful belief that I was big boned and therefore couldn’t change the fact that I was a naturally ‘big’ person.

So in the years that followed, because I didn’t identify and clear that belief properly, deep down in my unconscious mind, I believed that I wasn’t going to be able to be slim because of my ‘big bones.’

Do you see where I’m going with this?

No matter how many times, I lost weight, I always eventually put it back on again plus a little bit more because I didn’t believe I could be slim.

You might not WANT to go back to the way things were before, but unless you change the way you think, your beliefs will never change and because your unconscious mind is way more powerful than your conscious mind, YOUR BELIEFS will eventually override any efforts you make to lose weight by your limited supply of will power.

How do you change your beliefs before you’ve lost weight…when you hate what you see in the mirror?

It’s not an overnight magic flick of the wand. To train your brain to see yourself differently takes a bit of work but the good news is that it’s totally possible…if you’re ready for it!

You can trick your subconscious into thinking and believing like a strong confident slim and healthy woman before you even get there and that’s going to speed up your weight loss and get you to your goal weight more easily. Feeling thin on the inside is the only place to start!

If you feel that you must change how you look BEFORE you can feel better internally, then your success could only be short-lived. Like me, your deep-rooted beliefs will eventually resurface and you’ll have a battle on your hands to act against them and keep that weight off.

Act ‘as if’!

By training your brain to believe that you are deserving of a slim healthy body and that YOU ARE a slim healthy woman, you will ACT like a naturally slim, healthy woman long after you’ve reached your goal.

It’s like when you learn to drive. At first you have to think about what you’re doing and which gear you have to get into to get up the hill and you need to remind yourself to check your mirrors and it takes a lot of concentration. Then after a little while of practicing and doing everything over and over, it eventually becomes second nature and you don’t even have to think about what you’re doing. 

So as with subconsciously being able to drive, you will subconsciously be able to keep the weight off because it will become habitual and will come as second nature. You won’t have to worry about it anymore. 

You have the power inside of you and you can access it as soon as you are ready to move out of your comfort zone and start creating some more empowering beliefs about yourself and your behaviours around food. 

Are you ready?
