Wake up and smell the skinny vanilla latte – this is for real! The skills and techniques you’ve learned, the
skinnier mindset you’re learning, the weight you’ve lost – They Are Not
Flukes! None of your progress happened
by magic – it is all because of the hard work you’ve put in, applying new
mindsets, exercising new techniques, deciding what’s in your best interest to
eat and not eat, pushing your body to new fitness levels... BELIEVE IT.
If you need some convincing, look back at how you were before you
learned any of these techniques. How
often did you eat standing up/eat mindlessly/eat too quickly/plan out your
meals/track every single thing you ate/pig out for emotional reasons/throw in
the towel after making one slip/etc., etc.
Now make a new card, the Believe It! Card. Your card, like another successful weight
loser, might read like this:
“I’m losing weight because I’ve learned how. I now know:
1.
What I have to do (plan my eating, eat slowly while sitting down,
use anti-craving strategies)
2.
What I have to remind myself (hunger and cravings are never
emergencies, NO CHOICE, Oh well)
3.
How to motivate myself (get support, read my Advantages Response
Card, give myself credit every day)
4.
How to keep honest (report my weight change to my diet coach
weekly)”
You – yes YOU – got this far because your hard work. This is not resting on your laurels – this is
acknowledging a new reality, the reality of your transitioning into a thin
mindset and body. You’re not jinxing
yourself or being lulled into a false sense of security, because you have daily
checklists that you will continue to follow for a long time, that will help
remind you of what you have to do, what you have to remind yourself, how to
motivate yourself, and how to keep honest.
