I’ve spoken about the possible reasons and tips for jumping the hurdles to go beyond your current plateau in your weight release efforts. Sometimes, there is more to the challenge of weight release than just what we eat and do. This is why I’ve suggested, and continue to recommend, that you journal daily or at least weekly. This is a great way not only to keep track of what you’re doing and eating, but also to understand the possible reason(s) behind it all.
In my experience with my clients, I’ve discovered many obstacles that get in the way of my clients’ efforts to release weight. Here are the top 5 and suggestions to work within these challenges.
1) Not motivated enough. Some people correlate exercise and healthy eating with “pain and suffering”. These people generally avoid “pain and suffering” so they simply cannot maintain the regiment that is recommended. The best way to work within this mental obstacle is to find something negative and painful about all the excess weight you currently carry around. If you truly believe that the pain you experience being overweight is much greater than the discomfort of releasing weight, you will commit to a healthy regiment of fitness and eating habits.
2) Too many people correlate food with pleasure. Usually the foods that are not so good for you too! In order to satisfy this pleasure need, you can find other activities that give you an equal or even perhaps more pleasure. For instance, you might really enjoy dancing, taking a walk on a nature trail, a day at the spa, an evening at the movies and so on. Whatever you enjoy doing, replace this activity with the act of eating.
3) Not enough time. Most people are spread really thin nowadays with work and family commitments. And although I understand and appreciate the fast paced life we all have in North America, it should not excuse us from taking care of ourselves. After all, if you get worn down, who will take care of your spouse, children and/or parents? It’s time to take notice of all that you’ve committed to and prioritize. Remove a few commitments so that you have the necessary time needed to make healthy meals and have some form of daily fitness. The bottom line is taking care of yourself is a necessity NOT a luxury.
4) Don’t feel worthy. If you have a pattern of self sabotage, perhaps deep down you don’t feel worthy of a fit body which also happens to look great in a swimsuit! If this is the case, I want you to know that I believe in you. You do deserve a healthy body and a long and vital life. So look deep within yourself to discover why you feel this way. You might need assistance with this from an objective person. Once you figure it out and deal with it head on, you can begin to transform yourself.
5) You’re afraid. Some people may just be afraid to fail so they don’t even try a new routine. One thing to always keep in mind is that all the “failures” are the pathway to success. As Thomas Edison said, “"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." Don’t sell yourself short because there is a small chance you will not attain your end goal. Instead of focusing on the possibility of failure, focus on the glory of achieving your ideal weight and health and all the wonderful things that come with better health.
