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

Your habits are your worst enemies when it comes to weight loss. 

They always attack us when we're at our weakest. 

You must learn to defeat them, or your weight loss goals will fail.

Habits can seem like another complete personality sometimes. Usually, one that's opposing our good intentions about eating well and losing weight. It's the most significant enemy on our weight loss journey.

This enemy sabotages our every move, especially when we vow to eat healthy. Then we somehow end up binging on the same foods that make us fat and unhealthy. Of course, then we feel guilty and blame ourselves or the food. These are both the incorrect target.

What exactly is this self-sabotaging beast?

Every time you end up self-sabotaging, it's the habit or program that makes choices and acts for you. We think it's our thinking, but it's more like a state of non-thinking, right?

What can we do to overcome these self-sabotage habits?

Let's expand more on the idea of labeling these destructive habits. Let's look at ways to dig deep so you can see them. Knowledge is power!

You must identify your behaviors and patterns responsible for affecting your health, making it harder to lose weight. Start a journal. Write down everything. Write the details of all the foods you eat in a day. Write down any thoughts and feelings that come up. Everything!

The more effort you put towards practicing, the easier it'll be, and the better you'll get.

Imagine how these new, positive actions make you feel, how they alter your outlook or attitude. Do this intentionally, so you don't let older, deep subconscious patterns take over.

Final Thoughts

Don't change things too rapidly. Taking smaller steps will help you stay calm without triggering stress. And, we know what stress does, right?

Following these ideas can ensure you successfully end the self-sabotaging behaviors that stop you from losing weight. You can only make massive transformations to your life by incremental changes. Focus on what you can do today that you can stick to, right now, to stop or lessen one action of self-sabotage.

Put yourself on the right track toward better health, one step at a time.
