So today I was sent my daily email from Peer Trainer and it inspired me. It talks about the fear of losing weight. You are probably thinking I'm not afraid of losing weight, I just want to lose weight. But if you look at your weight loss yo-yo you will see that you get to a certain weight and self sabotage your efforts. It's the most frustrating part. I've been at this weight for 4 months now working out 4-5 days per week and sometimes 6 days per week for an hour a day. However, when I look back on the months, I can see that once I get to within a couple pounds of breaking into the next lower bracket, I tend to eat out more, buy potato chips, cook with more butter etc. I self-sabotage because I don't know what I will do when I get to the next level down. I can't see myself being thin as my DH can. He can visualize what he will look like, how he will answer questions, what his confidence level will be. But for me I don't see that yet, I can't seem to break through the glass ceiling to get to that next level of weight loss.
Do you have this same issue? Well, this article helped me to realize what I was doing. It helped me to understand that FEAR isn't going to hold me back one more day. Today is the day that I make the change and break through that glass ceiling of weight loss into the next lower tens....(120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170)
