Twitter @drgarymend IG @drgarymendoza Stages Of Change @transformxruby Habits not the forming but the maintenance of the habit; why and how If the way you change is to replace old habits with new ones, then is change only the product of repetition? How do you change habits and mindsets? Power of writing to mix in the visual pathway too Importance of environment Mindset Identity and how to get people in a readiness state for change in a way that they arent setting themselves up for dissapointment If its stress & emotional eating, or comfort food EMOTIONALLY ANCHORED GOALS --value there is no fail only toward or away Needs feelings When we get sick, sad, injured, have family emergencies how do we keep that habit if there’s a break in repetition? Can the new habit continue to be formed and stabilized in those times when the repetition is temporarily broken. perservere Managing it Also, comfort food. When carbs or sweets or whatever truly does comfort in times of stress, what can replace that habit? So is it safe to then say the mindset & identity and intention behind it is important. And why just having weightloss as a goal or unrealistic expectation is where people fall off Health benefits -responsive Recognise these amazing changes and progress- and how to celebrate it internally (think more positive about the changes and success/ rather than feeling like a fraud and I can't be positive about it) But even though scales haven't moved at all in a year, and I want to lose another 10kg, but I've had so much more success elsewhere. How does someone recognise and change their thoughts as we always relate back to scales as 'success' Mood and energy diaries How do you feel This can be a big reason why coaches are so important and valuable in this process - they teach you how to look for success Progress They help shift your mindset and inject you with confidence This is exactly how i help my girls and you get out so much more from the process than just Self talk Theres this post that circulates that i hate TF out of and thats it takes 21 days or whatever to create a habit and 66 to make it automatic I love the GOALS WILL SHIFT because this will be perfect to sum it up - as THAT IS the process and why the process is the whole damn goal Thats life Is there anything else you want to say about the importance of focusing on this process, on feels & habits over what we want out of them? Q: What are the barriers to change? Someone thinks they are ready for change Habits don’t die It’s a slow process Little things at a time They feel its not worth their time And when life is crazy or work is crazy, (it always is and we kid ourselves saying its going to calm down) Our brain loves easy Yet we try to complicate things more because SM makes it look fancy And we can do this with the way we approach food, always needing a whole new thing every single day instead of having a routine, or something on autopilot PULL goal FEEL like BE LIKE “goal” “time” Social media doesn’t have time It has now now now or you are behind Results should be a weekly metric like fuck off haha “consciously” Understanding yourself

@transformxruby @tombainbridgecoaching Many women often have specific concerns and fears when it comes to maintenance periods in their fitness journey. These concerns can be influenced by various factors, including societal pressures, personal experiences, and misconceptions. Here are some common fears that females may have regarding maintenance periods: Fear of Weight Gain: One of the most common fears is that taking a break from a calorie deficit will lead to significant weight gain. Women may worry that their hard-earned progress will be lost during a maintenance phase. Loss of Control: Some women fear that they'll lose control over their eating habits during maintenance and may struggle with overeating or emotional eating. Body Image Concerns: Maintenance periods can trigger body image concerns. Women might worry that they won't look as lean or fit during this phase, which can be emotionally challenging. Slower Progress: There's often a fear that taking a maintenance break will slow down their overall progress toward their fitness goals, especially if they're in a hurry to see results. Comparison to Others: Women may compare themselves to others who appear to stay in a perpetual state of dieting or weight loss, which can create pressure to do the same. Negative Feedback: Concerns about receiving negative feedback or criticism from peers or social circles can also play a role in these fears. Unrealistic Expectations: Unrealistic expectations about how quickly they should achieve their fitness goals can lead to fears about maintenance periods. the intense focus on the body in the realm of health and fitness can sometimes hold us back in various ways. Here are some of the ways this singular focus can be limiting: Self-Worth Tied to Appearance: When our self-worth becomes closely tied to our physical appearance, it can lead to low self-esteem and body dissatisfaction. This can be emotionally taxing and hinder personal growth. Extreme Dieting and Exercise: The desire for a certain body image can drive people to extreme dieting and exercise routines that may not be sustainable or healthy in the long term. This can lead to burnout and health issues. Comparison and Competition: Constant comparison to others and striving to meet societal beauty standards can create a sense of competition and jealousy rather than collaboration and support within the fitness community. Neglecting Overall Well-being: An obsession with the body can cause people to neglect other aspects of their well-being, such as mental health, emotional balance, and social connections. Yo-Yo Dieting: The pursuit of a particular body often leads to yo-yo dieting, where individuals go through cycles of weight loss and regain, which can have negative effects on metabolism and overall health. Exclusion and Inclusivity: It can sometimes lead to exclusivity within fitness communities, making some individuals feel unwelcome or inadequate if they don't fit a certain mold. Overemphasis on Quick Fixes: The desire for rapid body transformations can lead to the overuse of supplements, extreme diets, and even unhealthy practices like crash dieting or excessive use of weight loss pills. To overcome these limitations, it's crucial to shift the focus in health and fitness towards holistic well-being. This means considering not only physical health but also mental, emotional, and social well-being. Encouraging self-acceptance, body positivity, and setting realistic, sustainable goals can promote a healthier and more balanced approach to fitness. Remember that the ultimate goal should be overall health and happiness, not just a specific body shape or size.
