As we fall off track we often dwell on where we would be if we had stayed on course. It doesn't matter where you would be, what you would weigh, or what you would look like if you WOULD HAVE or SHOULD HAVE done something that you DID NOT do.  These thoughts are going to bring you down.  Instead turn your energy toward something positive.  Listen to what Irene has to say....

If you are a  person who initially thought 5 pounds was no progress... and felt frustrated after a whole month of doing everything right and kicking ass in the pants with a program but only seeing a 5 pound drop.... then this episode is for you !  You aren't alone but you are the lucky one!  More than likely you are going to meet your goals and keep it off... here's why ...

When you have convinced yourself that you don't care anymore but you do.  The jeans are getting tight, and you think you don't want to try any longer... but you do. See how to get out of this mindset ...

How do you know you have hit the bottom of the barrel... the end of your rope...the quitting point.  So often people question their intentions on dieting and it brings them the wrong results. See what Irene says about this. 

Finding solutions for your shortcomings is hard, but it's even harder when you spend all of your energy focussing on the things that don't matter. 

Stop spending time, money, and endless energy because of the endless excuses for why you can't  can’t do it. 

Don't dwell on the why you can't. Don't cry over the what if's .Don't fixate on the "where you would be" ifs. Don't fall back into old thinking patterns. Don't relate this experience to any past. 

FOCUS ON FINDING A SOLUTION TO THE FUCKING NOW. 

Falling into unrealistic weight loss patterns will bring you faster results, but at what cost?  Often people feel highly motivated when weight is coming off and start falling into risky dieting regimens that will lead to weight gain.  Restriction is not always ideal, whereas balance will bring longevity to your success. Listen and learn how to make your results last! 

We work so hard to meet our goals then we raise the bar and want more.  The stress of wanting to keep losing weight can be a burden that can set you back. Listen to my advise and put things into perspective. 

Your mind is an extremely power influencer in your life, how you think, your self-talk and the conversations you have in your head shape your attitudes, beliefs and behaviors.  So when it comes to weight loss, improving your health and fitness, or even your career choices  what are you actually saying to yourself.  So often people go through the motions without actually following through...thus never seeing results. Get off this exhausting loop and do something about the problem instead! 

Most people don't use the word hunger in the right context. Are you hungry or just wanting to eat??  Also, if you are truly hungry... this shouldn't be feared if you are trying to lose weight. See what Irene says about becoming in tuned with your body for optimal success! 

Excuses are barriers that become reasons for why we convince ourselves that we are unable to succeed. We spend hours and hours trying to fix this when the problem is within our own reach. Be inspired by how your mindset can be used as your secret power in so many ways.
