broken weight loss mindsets: part 5

innovatefitness.as.me/discoveryWe’re at the fifth and final installment of this series.
If you’ve been following all week, I hope you’ve had some food for thought - and maybe one or two insights.

Today we’re going to recap - and extracf the simple, clear lessons from the past 4 days.



PART 1: Expectations
​(click here to read)

- Having unrealistic expectations is faulty thinking

- You would never deem it a failure if you didn’t lose weight just from one afternoon or two days of healthy eating, so what is it about 7 days / a week, that suddenly makes it ‘not acceptable’ to not lose weight if you’ve been eating well? 

- What is it about that specific measure of time that takes your belief from “no expectaitons” to absolute expectations”?

- Question your beliefs around things - they’ve often just picked up over the years from other people without actually aksing how true they are.


PART 2: Reactions

- When you drop your phone and crack it, you don’t whip out a hammer and smash it up

- So why would you then start binging, just because you had a minor ‘slip up’ with your eating?

- Fixing that thinking pattern (how you respond to setbacks) will do wonders for long term progress



PART 3: Undoing hard work at weekends

- OVERLY rewarding yourself at weekends, because “you’ve been good all week” is dumb.

- It’s the same as saving £300 all week towards a holiday, and then spending that £300 at the weekends, and wondering why you’ve no savings (progress).

- You don’t have to be perfect either - even if you ‘saved £300 all week and then only spent £150 of it at the weekend, you’d still be saving money whilst not sacrficiing all the fun in life’.

- For clarity, the analogy of saving cash, is being compared to being in a calorie defict all week, then eating them all back (and then some) at the weekend.




PART 4: Organisation

- You treat hair appointments, holidays, doctors visits and taking the kids to their clubs as ‘non negotiable’ appointments that you schedule in advance.

- Why don’t you also do the same with things that will help you with your weight loss and health?
- Like 30mins to plan a meal, 30 mins to find some new recipes, scheduling exercise sessions for the week ahead.

- Treating those things as importantly as other “appointments” will do wonders for removing many of the ‘excuses’ that crop up with poor eating habits.
