Don’t tell me “I know that” but then complain about not HAVING what you want.
“I know that” are the 3 words I loathe the most – especially coming from prospective clients who hang out on my list for years and years and not make any progress.
Throw your scale out the window. You won’t heal until you do.
– I know that. But I still haven’t done it. Why am I still obsessing over food?
Begin to drop into your body and start body acceptance here and NOW.
– I know that. But I don’t do it. Why do I still hate my body?
The more you restrict the more you’ll binge.
– I know that. But I still restrict because I need to lose weight. Why do I still binge every night and gain instead of lose weight?
Diets DO NOT work. 96 – 99 % of all people who’ve lost weight on a diet GAIN IT BACK within a year.
– I know that. But I am still going to read this diet book and try to lose 10 pounds in the next 3 days. Why do I still feel miserable? And why does the weight come back?
The more you fight food the more you’ll obsess over it.
– I know that. But I still don’t allow myself to eat what I want. Why do I still live in diet hell?
Are you a “I know that” kind of person?
Do you feel that no matter what you hear when it comes to healing your relationship with food and your body, you already know it and you can’t be bothered hearing it again?
Do you hit unsubscribe whenever you hear a strategy over and over again because you know it but you also know that you haven’t acted on it at least once?
Do you blame coaches, teachers, strategist for not helping you overcome overeating and body shame but you’ve never ever done a single step of all the advice you got?
If you’re the one who says “I know that” ten times a day then no wonder you’re still stuck overeating, binging and hating your body.
No wonder you are still at the place you were 5 years ago when you first began to follow anti-diet advice.
No wonder you’re still unhappy, you’re still unsuccessful, you’re still spending your days behind the computer eating because you’re bored, sad, stressed and wishing that the next miracle pill will finally get you out of your misery.
No wonder….
You don’t really know it until you’ve DONE it. And not just once but for as long as it takes until you’re done.
So, instead of saying I know that throwing away my scale is a super important step towards inner healing, THROW IT AWAY.
Instead of saying I know that dropping into my body will help me to heal my awful body image, just DO IT.
Instead of saying I know that I have to stop restricting, STOP restricting.
Instead of saying I know that diets don’t work but still trying a new one every week, STOP LOOKING FOR NEW DIETS.
Instead of saying I know that the answer to my problems is to stop fighting food, STOP FIGHTING.
Yes, FEEL your fear (there’s nothing wrong with it), heal your pain and take the action you know will get you to the place of deep body-confidence and complete freedom from food.
You, my love, deserve it.
