EP 64. ”OMG. It‘s taking me forever to lose weight.”
So you decide to restart your weight loss journey. Your enthusiasm is palpable and this time you’re going to do whatever it takes to rid yourself of those excess pounds. It all goes well for the first few weeks and then your weight loss completely stalls. Some days you’re even gaining weight and you’re convinced that something has gone wrong. And then you have the thought that “Getting to my goal weight is taking soooooooooo long!” This is a statement that every one of my clients has said to me at least once. My response is usually, how long should weight loss really take? I know that we've been conditioned to believe that you should be losing 2 lbs every week and that is just not true.
The truth is as long as the number on the scale is gradually going down, don’t worry about how long it takes. For some people just losing 0.5lb a week will be a big deal. Life is about more than chasing numbers on a scale. Start living more intentionally, being active, eating mindfully and the weight will be easier to drop.
Let me help shift you out of your impatience with a few impactful strategies that you can use to learn to lose weight and keep it off. Listen in to learn more.
On today's episode, you'll learn:
why most women underestimate how long weight loss should take
what is a self-coaching practice
how self-coaching can help you lose weight permanently
3 powerful questions you can ask yourself to move you from, "this is taking so long" to "I'm okay with my progress"
