Weight Loss Tip – Why You Can’t Lose Fat
Because one of the things that I’ve noticed, especially in working
with our clients, is that they have an image, and I’m sure you do, and
I know I do.
We have an image of how your body should look, in your mind. And when
that image… you don’t see that in the mirror, then, you know, you
can get down on yourself.
And so what’s going to happen is: and I see it happen all the time, is
you’ll start dieting, and you’ll be looking in the mirror, and in your
mind. You’ll have this image of how you should look. But you’re not
seeing that in the mirror, so you’re actually not seeing the progress
that you’re making.
May be you’re going to lose. This just happened with a client: lost 15
pounds and was looking in the mirror, and, “Oh, I’m not making any
progress. I don’t feel like I’m doing well”. But in reality they had
lost 15 pounds. But because they weren’t looking like they had that
image in their mind, they weren’t giving themselves credit for all the
progress that they have made.
So it’s a really important weight loss tip: it’s not to trust your
eye. And that’s why it’s important for me to take measurements like
your waist, and your hips and your thigh measurements. So you can,
excuse me, so you can see, you know, if your waist goes down three
inches. That’s some serious progress.
Even if, when you look in that mirror, you don’t see that perfect you
yet. Taking hard measurements and not trusting your eye allows you to
really recognize the progress that you’ve made. And to keep going so
you don’t get down on yourself.
