89. Why Your Weight loss Goal May Be Sabotaging You

This week’s podcast is another snippet from my signature course, Breakthru The Binge. I talk about the difference between getting healthier, feeling better on our bodies and just wanting to lose weight. Using the law of attraction, changing how you think of your journey will transform your success.

What you focus on EXPANDS.

Focus on getting healthier, stronger and making decisions and thinking things that the healthiest version of you would think. That’s it. Weight loss WILL happen as the outcome, but shift your focus to GAINING health, not LOSING weight.

The law of attraction basically says what we think is what we get. So, if we think to ourselves, “I just want to get rid of this weight”, you’re thinking about something you don’t want and that won’t work. But switching our mindset to thinking “I’m doing this because I want to feel better and get healthier.”, it will happen. We have to shift our focus more onto the things that we can control and that we do actually want, which is getting healthier and feeling happy and confident.

Top Takeaways

Remember you’re human. Diet culture loves to catastrophize. It’s always all or nothing. Oh my gosh, if we had creamer in our coffee, it’s the end of the world, right?! No, that’s not how our lives work and it’s not how we think as humans. Learn to be kind to yourself and trust you’re on the right path. It’s okay if you had that extra creamer. You will mess it up but forgive yourself and get back on track.

This whole thing takes practice. It is a skill. Imagine picking up an instrument and like expecting to be good at it. That’s not going to happen and you’d end up feeling really disappointed. Give yourself some grace and treat yourself like you would your best friend. If you mess up, take a lesson from it. Look at what it is teaching you. What could you have done differently? Then adjust and try it again. You’ll get there.
