Why Do You Self-Sabotage? How long have you been trying to lose those last 10 or 20 or 30 pounds?
 Been awhile now, hasn't it? You know how to lose weight - eat
healthy and exercise - so why are you still living in a body that you're
disappointed with? In my experience, people hold on to "unwanted" pounds
for very specific reasons. These reasons are on a subconscious level, which is
where things get tricky. Self-sabotage is your subconscious mind's way
of protecting you. Seems counterproductive, but it makes sense when you
realize that it is a defense mechanism meant to keep things from changing.
Your conscious mind says it wants to lose weight to look and feel
amazing, but your subconscious mind is pulling the strings behind the scenes,
keeping your goals just out of reach. As long as your subconscious mind
thinks that you are safer being out-of-shape then you'll be stuck. Your
most valiant efforts will be undermined by self-sabotage every single time.
But don't give up. There's a way to turn everything around, and
it all starts with finding out the reason that your subconscious mind equates
being out-of-shape with being safe. Once you turn the light on to that
reason then it will no longer have any power over you. So, lets dig
around for your reason.
Spend time diving into your own mind to discover why it is that you aren't
meeting your goals. Once your whole mind is primed for success, then nothing
will be able to stop you. What the mind believes the body
achieves. Exercise is a huge part of the equation when it
comes to achieving weight loss. I am passionate about seeing my clients
achieve results - without wasting time, energy and effort on mistakes.

Time To Create a NEW YOU in Just 3 Steps!

Are there things about yourself that you'd like to change? Your weight,
your habits, and maybe even your outlook on life? We are trained to
think that change is hard, that it takes time. But it really doesn't have to be. I'm here to argue that lasting change happens in an instant.
 I
understand that this goes against mainstream belief. Most people believe that
change has to be a struggle. We expect to try and fail numerous times before
ultimately giving up or succeeding. Think about this - how many people
do you know who struggle with their weight? They want to make a healthy change
by getting in shape, but the change never seems to happen. What is it in
your life that you want to change? Do you have inches to lose? Do you have
preventable diabetes? Do you have a pair of skinny jeans that you want to fit
into? What is keeping you from making this change in your life?
According to professional speaker and author, Tony Robbins, it's the
preparation for change that takes time. In the end there's a single instant
when the change occurs. Here are the 3 steps to instantly create a
lasting change and a new you. Step #1: Believe that SOMETHING must change. Do you sort of want to get into shape, or do you absolutely have to
lose the weight? Does dropping a few pounds sound good, or is living another day
in your current body simply unbearable? In order to make a lasting change you
must believe wholeheartedly that things must change. Step
#2: Believe that YOU must change it. It is
vital that you take full responsibility in making the change rather than
assigning responsibility elsewhere. Sure, others may help you, but in the end
you are the one who is going to make it happen. You have to want this change
enough to make it your personal mission - no one else can do it for you. Step #3: Believe that you CAN change it. Don't let
past failures get you down. The truth is that you are capable of amazing things
when you put your mind to it. Believe that you are able to lose weight or to
make any other positive change in your life. Why do most people fail to
make change stick? They rely on willpower. This works for awhile, but you'll
soon revert back to what's comfortable. The solution? Change what you
are comfortable with. People are motivated by two things: 1) to avoid
pain and 2) to gain pleasure. When you want to change a behavior pattern the key
is to associate pain with the behavior that you don't want and pleasure with the
behavior that you do want. You know that you want to lose weight and
that to do so you need to quit eating comfort food late at night. You also know
that you need to start exercising on a regular basis. Up until this point your
brain is trained to associate pleasure with eating comfort food late at night
and to associate pain with exercise. It's time to retrain your brain to
feel good about exercise and to feel bad about eating late at night. Think about
all of the negative things about being overweight and connect these unpleasant
thoughts to your late night snack. Now think about all of the wonderful things
about being in shape and connect these pleasant thoughts to exercise.
