Does Your Mind Know How To Lose Weight
To lose love handles you have to be 100% sure you really want to! Sounds funny, but how do you know your subconscious wants you to?
If you have – you are not alone! The vast majority of people that go on a diet do not manage to keep the lost weight off ….. they might lose a few pounds, but practically always the pounds come back, usually with a vengeance as well.
Afterwards you say to your friends, “the diet’s useless” … or you “always have problems losing weight” … you’ve “never managed to lose love handles” … So you give up, and resign yourself to being overweight.
The answer to the question – “why is it so hard to lose weight” – might be hidden in a completely unexpected corner of your mind.
Let me tell you a story:
The worlds most successful woman golfer ever is Annika Sorenstam. She is simply one of the most successful golfers in history.
She has won more than 90 International tournaments, including 10 majors, and she has done a golf round on the incredibly low score of 59! If any golfer reads this, you’ll know what I mean.
Amazing!
But, here’s a funny thing. At the start of her career she did not win. She came second, or third, even though she might have been in the lead most of the time.
But for some reason she would lose the last hole or even the last putt. One evening she was sitting close to a life coach. He overheard her saying something along the line or “well, I came second, but at least I did not have to give the winners speech”.
His mind went “AHA”!
To make a long story short – he took contact with her, and they found out together that deep inside Annika was terrified of speaking in public. When she was on a winning streak her subconscious would suddenly wake up to the fact that she might be No.1, and it would softly point out that “if you win you will have to make a speech”.
That was it.
And this was one of history’s best golfer. And her subconscious tripped her up.
Once she got that “sorted”, the rest is history!
What do you think will happen if your subconscious has some hidden objections to you losing weight? It might be – probably is – some not logical reason, but reason always comes second, emotions first!
Think about this for a while. What mental “blocks” might you be carrying around inside your head, like unknown squatters? This is one of the major reasons why diet programs fail.
Why people lose weight and then put it all back again. Why there are hundreds, thousands, of diets around.
They all work for a week or two, then they stop working.
There are obviously physical reasons for this as well, but a large part, sometimes the most important one, is between your ears.
