So you start… a few pounds heavier after your weekend feast… and then at some stage… you stop. ‘I was so hungry/I felt guilty not eating the cake that was bought for me/it was my family night out/I was so stressed…*list any excuse that makes you feel better. You then eat all the things you have been craving. ALL of them. And even though they don’t taste as good as you imagined, you feel justified because *see reasons above. When we come up for air, we feel a myriad of emotions. Guilt, shame, disgust. We resolve to start our diet again. On Monday. This. This is the cycle that you need to break and we are going to tell you how to do it. This might be hard to hear but I promise you… it’s life-changing. Are you ready? Reason 1: You don't really want to take action The reason you are not living the life of your dreams at your perfect weight is because you don’t actually want to take action. Now, before you throw the phone across the room, hear me out. A lot of diets fail because dieters see dieting as a chore, as something they had to do, rather than wanted to do. No one wants stop eating our favorite foods. No one wants to make the sacrifices or do the work which makes the diet successful. Dieters just felt they HAD to diet. Sound familiar?Change is hard if you don’t really want to do it. Every diet makes it sound simple...but a lot of people fail after a few days in and end up heavier than before they even started. That's why I am a huge advocate of no dieting. Because if people think about all the downsides of dieting--having to give up their favorite foods, exercising...they end up sabotaging herself. Love the Process, Not the End Result If you don’t fall in love with the process, you will never get to goal and maintain your healthy weight. Every day on plan will feel like a climbing a huge mountain… on a unicycle.
That's why in the Stop Binge Eating Program, I put the emphasis on falling in love with everyday life, enjoy every meal, no food is forbidden-so you can still lose weight while enjoying your food. You get to explore what you truly what and love and dream of and you'll fall in love with the process and weight loss without dieting won't feel like a chore.
