So why is it that some women can keep a slim figure easily and effortlessly, and others struggle? Yes I do hear you saying that it is the genetics, but that is only one part of it.
It really comes down to three key things, but before I get into that, I really think that it all comes down to that grey stuff between your ears (for those who don't use cotton buds, I'm not referring to that build up of wax).
Whilst everyone knows what to do to lose weight and maintain that healthy weight, why do so many women fail? They know what to do, go to the gym, eat healthy, drink lots of water. Why wouldn't they do it if they know how? It just doesn't make sense.
Go back to that moment where you are thinking about eating something that you know you really shouldn't, are you there? Good. What is probably going on is that you are having a battle, between what you know you should do, and what you feel you want to do. You might be saying to yourself "I know I shouldn't eat this beacuse it will go straight to my hips, but,.... ohh but it taste's so nice, and it's only once,.... and after all I've been good all week."
That dialogue was the battle, first your mind says "I know I shouldnt't eat this because it will go straight to my hips," then that feeling gets stronger and eventually you say "ohh but it taste's so nice, and it's only once." Can you see how your mind was so easily convinced by the desire? So who is really in control? Certainly not your mind, and that's why knowledge isn't power, it's only potential power. Understanding this is the first key step.
So now that we know who is really in control, your probably asking well how do I control it! We'll get to that, so hold your horses.
The second key step is clearing all belief's that don't support you, about weight loss, and being who you want to be. A belief is something that you believe is true about the world. For example, 'healthy food tastes bad' or 'Michael Jackson has had too much plastic surgery.' These are belief's, because someone else might think that healthy food tastes awesome and that Michael Jackson could go with another nose job.
Now belief's are REALLY powerful, they control so much of our lives. Without going into too much personal detail, I was with a client recently who was frustrated that she was not going to the gym enough. So we went digging for belief's and we found an absolute pearla! She believed that people who go to the gym were goodie-goodie, snobby people. The amazing thing is that she didn't even realise that it was there! How can someone go to the gym if they think that all people who go to the gym are goodie-goodie snobby people? Unless they think that they are a goodie-goodie snobby person, it's simply impossible!
Dig around for some beliefs yourself, some excellent questions are (and fill in the blanks with whatever comes out first) 'Gym people are,____' 'Fitness is_____' 'My health is_____' 'If I try hard, then____' and so on.
The last thing that hold's so many women back is self-esteem. I want to share a story with you. There once was a frog race up a very tall tower. Everyone was saying that the little frogs couldnt possibly make it to the top, because their legs were too small. So they cheered the frogs with hesitancy and some even plainly yelled out 'you can't make it, it's impossible.' So the whistle blew and off they went up the steps. As each step went by, another frog fell down in exhaustion until there was only 3 left. Only one frog made it past the finish line, and when they rushed to interview the frog to find out how he did it, the little frog couldn't tell them. You see this little frog was a deaf mute and he couldnt hear what anyone was saying. Imagine if you could only hear what was possible, and didn't listen to what people though was impossible.
It really comes down to what you believe to be true about yourself. Who tells you what you can and can't do? Is it you? Or everyone else?
Start today to find reasons why you should love yourself more, I know it sounds kinda silly to do, but do it anyway.
Let me leave you with this, which is more attractive, a woman who is really shy (because she doesn't love herself) or a woman who is really confident, someone who walks into the room and heads turn(because she loves herself, she is her biggest fan)? Which woman would you prefer to be?
