In this week's free weight loss podcast we'll take a look at the reasons why waiting to start your weight loss never works.
If the phrase waiting to start your weight loss doesn't make sense then this might be familiar to you: if you consistently tell yourself "I'll start again on Monday!" and this cycle continues 52 times a year then this is one example of why waiting to start your weight loss never works.
Another example is when there's never a "right time" to get started. Reasons abound year-round: the holiday season, New Year's Day (it's a holiday after all!), Valentine's Day (too much chocolate to resist!), Pie Day (gotta eat pie cuz it's Pie Day!), Easter, Spring Break, that Cruise, that Wedding, Birthday, Block Party, BBQ, Graduation, Vacation, Memorial Day Weekend, 4th of July, and on and on and on until the holiday season rolls into town once again.
There's just never the right time to get started with your weight loss plan when you don't have a weight loss mindset.

Why Waiting To Start Your Weight Loss Never Works
In episode number 275 of my free weight loss podcast I did cover several reasons why you feel depressed when you stop eating junk but one point that I failed to mention is very important. Here it is:
When you're caught in the ongoing cycle of emotional eating, binge eating, dieting, self-sabotage, yo-yo dieting, and on top of this when food is your crutch, it's your (unhealthy) coping mechanism in life, then when you take that food away and replace it with only healthy, high-octane fuel for your body, then all of those emotions you'd been trying to stuff down with food come roaring back to the surface.
Those emotions don't go away just because you tried to eat them away, avoid them with food, or stuff them down with a binge. Instead they remain within, just waiting to pop out if only you will let them. When you stop eating junk and you stop stuffing with food then those uncomfortable emotions can come up to the surface.
This is another reason why you feel depressed when you stop eating junk. Make sense?
Here's why: your mindset is 92.8% of what is causing your food and weight struggles. If you don't change your mindset you will forever struggle with food and your weight.
The mind leads the body, this is just how it is. No one can change this or "make this up" because without a mind, your body won't move. Your mind is the driver of your body; without a driver, your body won't do anything. Does this make sense? It's just like the fact that you must drive your car to get it to move. Otherwise your car just sits there in your driveway, correct?
What's great about the fact that your mindset is 92.8% of the challenge to achieving permanent weight loss is that you are the only one who thinks your thoughts.
Learn how to change your mindset, transform your current mindset into a weight loss mindset, and then you won't struggle to lose weight and keep it off! Then you won't complain of restrictive eating, you won't be struggling with binge eating, or emotional eating, and yo-yo dieting.
How awesome would that be, if you could just get out of your own way, get into choice, step fully into your own power,
