Is Your Subconscious Stopping You From Losing Weight?

Weight Loss Mindset

Hello, I’m Rick Taylar, and this is Weight Loss Mindset!

Sometimes people are totally confused about being unable to lose weight.

They work hard to get their weight down and then gain it all back in an instant.

The subconscious mind stores hidden habits and traps to keep you overweight. Why? Could be many different reasons. You must learn to deal with it before you'll have success.

I think the worse feeling in the world is when you're overweight and you finally lose a whole lot of it only to get it all back again and more. And this happens repeatedly. This story is so familiar for many. Or, maybe you try to lose weight but can’t stay committed to healthy lifestyle choices for longer than a week.

Your subconscious mind has a lot of power over your actions. It makes you hold on to unhealthy habits and keeps you fat.

Here's some ideas on that!

Being Overweight Has Become Part Of Your Identity

When you've been overweight for a long time or most of your life, you've probably created some "tricky" coping strategies so you feel more comfortable. Or, maybe you've found a comfortable “niche” in your social circles. People usually have to come up with some other identity if they're overweight. Maybe it's the fat but funny one who makes jokes about their weight. Maybe the fat but happy one, or the fat but always touchy one. No matter what it is, it's now part of how you identify yourself. It’s part of who you've become.

A Slightly Twisted Sense of Self-Worth

Maybe you have everything you ever wanted in your life except you struggle in just one area. Your weight! If things are so wonderful you might question if you deserve to have the perfect life. If you're a bit short on self-worth, could feel as though you're unworthy to have a perfect body too.

Food Equals Love and Security

People who are addicted to food or can't lose weight are emotionally connected or attached to eating. You feel food is equal to safety, love, economic stability, or security.

Maybe It's All About Control

People feel the need to control their lives. This is especially true for many who struggle with food and weight loss. They believe that dieting is somehow giving up that control to someone else.

Listen, I'm sure like many others you're tired of continuous dieting and fluctuating weight, right? Are you ready to commit yourself to lasting and permanent change in your life? A change that'll give you healthier weight, better well-being. You must understand how these psychological roadblocks can stop you.

If you feel your subconscious is keeping you overweight to feel comfortable somehow, to help you deal with some distant childhood pain, or identity issues, you now know where to start working on your journey to better health.
