One of the main reasons people don’t lose weight is……

In 1990 I was 60 lbs heavier than I am today, I remember wanting to lose weight but I didn’t fully believe I could. In other words I didn’t believe I could get what I want.
That’s a huge conflict for the brain to handle and it will never let you get what you want- aka weight loss. That’s why I would lose and gain weight for several years before finally keeping it off. Let me explain.
When you want something, like weight loss, that you don’t believe you can have, your mind will initiate behaviors to help you lose weight initially, because that’s what you want. You might lose some or all your weight, but then something bizarre happens. You start to sabotage yourself by eating more, exercising less, or both. Why? Because what we believe will ultimately prevail over what we want.
Soooooo……… What do you want? And more importantly what do you believe is possible?
Make sure you believe you can get what you want or you’ll be frustrated and continually sabotage yourself. When I aligned what I wanted with what I believed, I lost the weight, kept it off, and fulfilled many of my dreams. I want you do do the same thing.
