What\u2019s standing between you and your weight loss goals?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It can be like the elephant in the room\u2026<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We know it’s there, but we ignore it, hoping it’ll go away on its own.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But these hurdles drain your energy\u2026 resources\u2026 and confidence.<\/p>\n
And worst yet, they reinforce the old stories we tell ourselves about our ability to change.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Example:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A client told me that during the pandemic, she got into the habit of having a glass of wine before dinner \u2014 every single night. (Let\u2019s call her Sara.)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It became given for her. Once she got home from work, out came the wine bottle.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Because Sara was trying to lose weight, that wine habit became her elephant in the room.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
BUT\u2026 this isn\u2019t even about the wine.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s about ANYTHING that helps you \u201cnumb out\u201d from the day\u2026 a bowl of ice cream, a couple of hours playing video games, a nighttime TV habit, or doom scrolling on your phone.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At some point those habits were serving you in some way \u2014 maybe they provided a temporary comfort, a distraction, or helped you escape stress.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
👉 But the fact is that now, they\u2019re an obstacle between you and your goals.<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do YOU have any \u201cnumbing out\u201d habits that aren\u2019t serving you any longer?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But if you start by targeting those unhelpful habits one by one, before you know it you\u2019ll gain a huge amount of momentum \u2014 and be that much closer to crushing your goals.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
AND\u2026 bonus! Just acknowledging those \u201celephants\u201d helps take away their power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
