Being stuck in a plateau is very frustrating for me. And if you're reading this, you can probably relate.
Recently I began to really pay attention to not so much what I'm eating but to my internal dialogue. And people, it's no wonder I'm stuck in this place. And upon deeper reflection, also stuck in other areas of my life.
Self-doubt kept showing up... "too lazy to exercise", "unmotivated", "fearful that I'll stay fat for ever", "not smart enough to follow the plan correctly"... Where did this come from?
I had a terrible belief that no one ever keeps the weight off permanently so why should I even bother? What a limiting experience this has been for me! Imagine my surprise when I heard that little voice way in the back of my head. Where did THAT come from?
On the surface I'm this positive, outgoing, supportive person...so how come I have this destructive energy trapped on the inside?
So the work, the REAL work has begun. It's time to break down some of my blocks and move toward the visions I now see clearly for myself. I expect this will be challenging but I'm ready.
So I'm starting to question the belief that no one ever keeps the weight off permanently.
1. In reality there is no truth to this belief. 2. I just read it or heard it somewhere. 3. Hanging on to this belief has me doing self-sabotaging things and not making any real progress. 4. I need to let this belief go. I actually have scads of books and magazines featuring people who have achieved permanent weight loss and good health. 5. I'm going to re-read those inspiring books and stories and believe that I too can lose the fat and keep it off permanently.
What are your limiting beliefs?
