I’ve been counseling women on weight loss for a number of years now. Those who succeed have one thing in common. They are whole-heartedly committed to becoming a person who lives a healthy lifestyle. They are committed to transforming their identity – not just their dress size.
If you want to lose a significant amount of weight (for good), you must become a healthier person. You must fundamentally change the way you think about yourself. And changing the way you think about yourself will drive actions that support your new identity.
Permanent change happens when we go all in – when we want to become a person who has lost the weight for good more than anything.
Ask yourself, am I embracing my weight loss journey or cursing it? In other words, do you view the process of losing weight as a necessary “evil” that needs to be endured, or an adventure that will ultimately result in a healthier and happier you?
To obtain success, you must value the process of transformation even more than the destination.
Geneen Roth sums it up beautifully…
“Ask yourself if you are in this for the long run – if it’s only your weight you want to change or if you are willing to use your eating patterns as a portal to the inner universe. And if the answer is the latter, then there is no end to what you can learn, be, understand, become.”
If the answer is the latter, then let’s chat Chickadee.
