It's a REAL TALK kind of moment. 🤧
This list could easily have been 2,000 reasons long, but I wanted to highlight some of the big ones that I see week to week within my community of people.
1. GOALS. Trying to change your body composition without clear, definable, time-sensitive goals, is like trying to drive across the country without GPS. You NEED to hold yourself to a standard, to a timeline, and understand your goals keep you moving forward when your momentum starts to wane.
2. DISCIPLINE. Discipline takes practice. It requires you to set rules for yourself, say no frequently, and not let fear, temptation, others judgement, or your lack of confidence, get in your own freaking way.
3. ACCOUNTABILITY. Everyone needs accountability! I am a Fitness coach, and I myself have a coach to help me with my accountability. You need someone in your corner, cheering you on, advising your progress, pushing you forward. Even clients that are working on maintaining their weight need nutrition/fitness coaches; otherwise it's easy to slide into laziness/weight gain. You become like the 5 people you surround yourself with the most. If you don't have anyone in your corner that cares about your diet/nutrition, your chances of success are almost none. Hire a coach.
4. ALL OR NOTHING. So, you ate an extra 20g of carbs today. Looks like ya might as well eat a whole pint of Ben and Jerry's + pizza. WRONG. That's like leaving your hair straightener on too long so it leaves a burn mark on your counter, is your response then to burn down your whole house!? NO.
5. QUICK FIX QUEEEN. You decide you must do Paleo+Keto+Intermittent Fast plus drink celery juice. That lasts 14 seconds obviously; then you're back to Ben and Jerry's & pizza. These gimmick quick fixes are garbage. How long did it take for your body to get to this current weight/shape? Years, most likely. It's going to take you that long to get out of it, too.
