When you lose weight, you often lose more than some numbers on the scale. You can lose your unhealthy friends. You can lose your victim-hood. You can lose your charity events, where they celebrate your sickness. You can lose your reputation as someone who always struggles in life. You can lose your child ego. You can lose your normal introductions where you tell the people you meet what disease you have. You can lose your addictions. You can lose your unhealthy rituals on Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, long weekends etc. You can lose your sedation, tranquilization and your distractions to reality. You might even lose your mate….who loves staying unhealthy, overweight, depressed, dis-empowered, dis-oriented, addicted, sedated and medicated. You can lose your connection with the old you, the old crowd, the old excuses, the old stagnation based rituals and the old security of knowing that it’s simply easier to stay stuck. You can lose the old you who likes using the hand rails in life……because it’s just easier to never accomplish too much or stand out above the crowd. The easiest way to never fail……is never to try. When we lose weight, we often sabotage our journey because we realize how many other things we’re going to lose by becoming healthy, wealthy and wise.
This is why most people get really excited about the initial thought of losing weight and becoming healthier……..but quickly recoil back into their “stuckness” and let their dreams pass them by……..because you lose lots more, when you lose weight. When you lose weight, you often lose your old existence along with it, and it’s that massive change that most people can’t handle too well. It’s just easier to stay mediocre, helpless, dependent and living inside the dysfunctional herd where no one expects too much from you and where you don’t stand out too much. There is hope and there are solutions to overcoming self sabotage. There are many psychological factors that must be addressed in order for the next weight loss journey to be your last and I address all those in my one on one self sabotage coaching sessions, via Skype….anywhere in the world. If you’re looking to make some big changes this spring and break free of your old cycles, habits, patterns and behaviors…..just private message me for more details. A goal without a plan is just a wish. Take action today and make a move on your best life.
