Secret time: I've discovered that tricking myself is a key factor in maintaining my success in this 100-pound weight loss journey.
Oh yeah! I'm playing mind games with myself in a positive way to get away from the intense, compulsive cravings for chocolate, chips and gummy bears as well as the gloomy, paralyzing self-doubt that I have experienced...especially when it comes to losing weight.
There's one tool that's really saved me from ruining all the hard work that I've put in so far. I cover it, among other resources and insights, with life coach Lindsey Lang, who is also a dear, trusted friend of mine. As a certified life coach for many years, Lindsey understands the mind in a way that I aspire to! She once coached me years ago when I was deep in the muck, suffering because of my own codependency and due to the circumstances I'd created for myself. She has seen me at my worst and never given up on me, showing me patience and teaching me the tools to escape from the mental prison I put myself in.
The pills, the products and the programs may help you see some early success, but I promise, if you work on your mindset and apply the tools, the less stressed, sad and defeated you will feel in the long run. And, the weight will stay off. I want that for you. You deserve it.
