We have heard many "experts" try to explain away the lack of weight loss results with phrases like...
- "You're not trying hard enough..."
- "You must become more disciplined..."
But aside from these explanations, are there any deeper reasons why you just can't seem to reach your weight loss goal?
Allow me to present a slight variation to the idea that someone would sabotage their weight loss in order to avoid dealing with underlying emotional issues, as many do.
The variation goes like this...Perhaps it is not the emotional problem that keeps people "hanging on" as much as the habits that have produced their overweight situation have BECOME A PART OF WHO THEY ARE. Could there really be some truth to the old saying "we become the habits we keep"?
Is it not true that each and every one of us adopts self defeating habits throughout the years that become so ingrained into our identities that, although we know they are cheating us out of a better life, we can't fully bring ourselves to give them up? Or somewhere deep inside ourselves we don't fully WANT to give them up...? A prime example of this is having that huge bowl of chocolate ice cream before you go to bed. You know that you shouldn't do it, but it tastes so good, it makes you feel great and you HAVE DONE IT FOR SO LONG that it becomes a tough habit to break. It becomes such an emotionally stimulating experience that somewhere deep inside, perhaps without even realizing it, you don't want to let go...It becomes a part of who you are!
I realize that many people have not made it to this point in the article simply because they think these ideas are crazy, but if you have made it this far you are probably wondering..."How do I break the self defeating habits?" Science has shown that the more you choose against any self defeating habit the weaker it gets. Your nervous system actually begins to crave it less!
Begin today to choose against your bad eating habits and lifestyle choices and adopt a much more empowering alternative...Envision yourself fitting into those jeans or that bikini you always wanted to wear. At first, it may seem like a challenge. However, do it enough and you will begin to create a new, empowering habit. These empowering habits can produce amazing weight loss results.
After all, if your bad habits have produced your current situation...Why can't your empowering habits produce something far greater? The new you!
