The Real Reason You Can’t Lose Weight: The Truth 99% of Coaches Avoid Because It Loses Them Money
You have to be honest with yourself.
You may have heard that before. Even still, stick with me. Over the last decade I've been practicing this stuff, and I've learned the reality behind this concept.
It's not what we've been taught.
It actually comes down to two things:
One, being honest with yourself is harder than you might think.
Modern society—via social media and streaming services—is literally designed to give you endless distractions, an escape from self-reflection.
Two, it's even harder to be honest with yourself when the truth is hard to hear.
You've spent your entire life rationalizing away your bad choices. In fact, you're a master at it.
You've spent your whole life running from the stuff that makes you feel crummy, and that's exactly why you can wake up and realize you've been steadily gaining weight for years and haven't done a darn thing about it.
And that's gotta stop here.
Being honest with yourself means you stop running from the bad stuff.
More specifically, It's taking power away from these forces and giving you back control.
That's why you have to be introspective, facing your internal emotions instead of dulling them. And you have to be radical about this, doing it even when it's hard to face the truth.
If you want to take control and lose weight for good, get cool with being radically introspective with yourself.
The world is designed to help you avoid this radical introspection because it's led you to feel ashamed of your shortcomings.
Society wants you to feel bad that you aren't perfect.
And perhaps a part of you wants to stick with the old way, trying your best to appear perfect and flawless.
But remember why you started this journey: to finally lose the weight that's been holding you back.
You want to transform the way you live your life.
