Ask Me A Question For Next Week's Episode!

1. What if you achieved your weight loss? What if you stopped telling yourself that its too hard or that you can’t and asked yourself - what if it does work out? What if I do lose the weight and better my life? How you look matters but if it is the only thing that you care about, you aren’t going to be motivated forever. You need to find a deeper purpose and meaning in your fitness and wellness. And this is why it takes - 
2. So many make new years resolutions that never go anywhere….why? Losing weight or getting the physique that you have been wanting takes an entire lifestyle change. Every single day has to look different than what it looked like before. Your food has to look different. Your exercise has to look different. All of it. 
3. What does long term weight loss look like for you? - this is going to be different for everyone. There are some items that you are going to need to level set with yourself. It might just be that you don’t achieve or strive for that goal weight you have had in your head since high school. Weight loss is so challenging because it takes a lot of change, dedication and resetting our expectations. Most of the world is fake - posts on social media and every magazine cover you see. So how do we rise above that and seek after reality? We set goals that are reasonable for ourselves - goal weight setting (be realistic), take lots of measurements and start wearing clothes that aren’t stretchy - see how your body starts to change with the feeling, monitor your heart rate and take notice of how being out of breath starts to change. This is what will start to change your mind around the look and expectations of your body. 
4. You are going to have to change your mindset around food. Period. 
   1. Flexible dieting is great BUT for those usually farther along in their body transformation. For most, it always seems to get too flexible and you end up dramatically underestimating how much you are actually eating = this makes you end up having to be in a dieting mindset for far too long with no results. Most of you will be better off being less flexible and getting the majority of your transformation and goals achieved by being ridged for 3 months instead of a year. 
5. The reality is - all great physiques require effort. If you think that you are going to lose weight or get the body you want with little to no effort - you are going to be disappointed. BUT there IS hope over 50% OF Americans do ZERO exercise. Start with something that you can maintain forever and ever, start somewhere and that makes you better than 50% and for most you could have a top 5% physique in the world if you worked out 45 mins to 1 hour a day and got your food intake in check. 
6. Speaking of comfort - you are going to have to get comfortable with the fact that you are going to have to make sacrifices. Do or Do Not there is no Try. 
7. You can put a lot of effort towards your health and still not achieve much. You do the calorie deficit, the strength training and so on yet you don’t feel the payoff? Why? If your emotional health is not in check, you won’t see results to the max either. They Work Together. Stress leads you to make shitty decisions that affect your physical health. And addressing THAT now that is the way more difficult than a simple calorie deficit. Addressing your trauma or toxic job is way more complex than eating differently and walking more. And that my friends is the rub.
