The biggest difference between winners and losers is that when successful people fall of the wagon, they bounce back quickly.
No matter how diligent you are with a new habit; life will always throw you a curve ball.
It’s not a question of if it’s going to happen, it’s a question of when.
An all or nothing attitude is a big pitfall when trying to maintain a new healthy weight.
Anyone can show up and do perfectly for short periods of time. That’s called a diet.
It’s your ability to stick with it (or some version of it) and bounce back quickly, that will get you sustainable change.
This is where you will have to take a hard look at your story about yourself.
Making new habits stick will require an identity shift.
Do you consider yourself a food junkie, someone that never succeeds at losing weight, an emotional eater…?
If you don’t change how you identify with yourself, it’s going to be really hard to get habits to stick.
Your habits are how you show up or embody your identity.
Do you want to become someone that easily manages their weight?
You will need to start showing up as that kind of person.
Every time you pack your lunch instead of going to the drive-thru.
Every time you choose a fruit instead of a sugary dessert.
Every time you prioritize and make time for meal prepping…
Every time you make a wise food choice, you’re casting a vote for the type of person you wish to become.
That’s where the rubber hits the road and the real magic happens.
Everyone has it in them to be a winner.
