No BS Weight Loss
Here it is.
A no BS Weight Loss Honest Personal experience. A weight loss journey is like therapy. For those of you who have been for therapy knows it’s hell. Facing a weight loss journey is probably one of the hardest demons you will face. It’s a system designed to fail, like Universities. Why? Because if it was that easy all of us would’ve been rocking swimsuit model bodies and we’d have the title of Dr.
I’m not talking about the actual dieting part of it all.
I’m talking about that Inner Voice that honestly can be a big itch! It’s that voice that tells you; “your not attractive enough naked“, “your legs are too big“, “no wonder your still single at 28″. Yeah I’m referring to that voice.
My voice has been there for years, she is quite most of the time, but when she surfaces, boy does she make me notice! She knows what to say – obviously she is me!
If you have the same itch in your head singing different tunes. This is what you do.
PS. This was my first Step towards my Weight Loss Journey
Step 1 You Sit her down.
Have a discussion with yourself – be objective as much as you can.
Ask her:
Why are you saying these things to me?
For YEARS now, you’ve had goals, you say all these things and WANT all these things but you never follow through! Honestly, I’m on your side, I take the hit every time you don’t accomplish those dreams. It’s just disappointing that you keep doing this to us. You have so much potential yet you keep hurting yourself. It’s frustrating as hell!
You always say you WANT slimmer legs. What do you do? Committed for a week, then over weekend order Uber Eats and cheat your progress away and then I HAVE TO BE THE BAD GUY! Then Monday comes and we have to start from scratch. Thank you so much.
Step 2 Reflect on what you had to say
The truth is, she is YOU!
She is just the self-oppressed inner you, that had to listen and dream with you but could not get you to achieve your deepest desires.
In therapy, we believe that our patients (if willing & ready) needs to confront and get to know their dark, unloving self.
So that’s what I did – I got to know her.
Step 3 Understand that you have valid reasons
Like all fights they end up becoming heated. That’s why I told you to remain objective, this way you won’t become emotional and loose track of why your doing this.
If you and your darker side can see eye to eye, you end up on the same team. The self-pity, hate speech disappears. And that over enthusiastic “I’m def doing it this time” also goes away.
I am now able to workout & eat right CONSISTENTLY on the days where I feel lazy and emotional. You know why? It’s because I have my own back.
Honestly, in the beginning you feel angry & irritated as hell!
Yes you feel great thanks to the good feel hormone serotonin, however you are so anxious and overly eager to see this through and get those well deserved results. You know it won’t show in 2 weeks (cause it’s been a few years now), it will take realistically more than 4 months (16 weeks) of CONSISTENT correct eating and working out!
Step 4 Stop being an itch to others
Yes your frustration and own personal hell is showing!
Stop pushing those close to you away because you are so consumed and determined that you reflect that itch you confronted. That’s not you!
Just breath babe, it’s okay to be eager and committed. However, paste yourself.
- Take it day for day (don’t get overwhelmed with it all)
- Use the frustration as motivation – workout or correct eating, make it fuel you not consume you.
The struggle is so unfreaken real!
Even so, keep an open-mind about your journey.
Most of all, keep it consistent
Lots of Love
