To lose weight and keep it off you need a weight loss mindset; it's 92.8% of winning at the long term game with your weight! In this week's free weight loss podcast learn why you need the mindset of a successful Everest climber to lose weight for good.

The reason you need the mindset of a successful Everest climber to lose weight for good is because the essential mindset ingredients you must have in order to succeed on Everest (and make it out alive) are the same essential mindset ingredients you must get if you're serious about achieving long term success with your weight.

What Is Long Term Weight Loss Success?

Long term weight loss success means that you get to your goal weight and you stay there. You maintain it for life.

If this sounds impossible, to achieve permanent weight loss, it's not! You just need to live a healthy lifestyle, which means no binge eating, no food addiction, no more using food as a coping mechanism, and instead using high quality whole, real food to fuel your body.

To get the ultimate weight loss dream, to lose weight for good, you'll need a weight loss mindset. Your mindset is 92.8% of the solution, or it's 92.8% of the problem.

If your mindset is fat (F.A.T. = fear attracting thoughts) then you'll continue to struggle with your eating and your weight. On the other hand if you have a weight loss mindset then you're ready to scale your own Everest and succeed beyond the summit!

What's interesting is that once you get the same qualities embedded in your mindset that a successful Everest climber must have in their mindset, then you'll be able to lose weight without a struggle to get to your goal weight and stay there. Good stuff!

The opposite of a healthy lifestyle is doing fad diets (like intermittent fasting) for the sole purpose of losing weight while struggling to stick with it and obsessing about food which ends up leading to binge eating with an intensity that increases the longer you avoid healing the root of the eating disorder.

To scale Everest successfully and get home safely you must be reaching for the right goal, just like when it comes to achieving the goal of permanent weight loss.

To achieve permanent weight loss the WRONG goal is a goal weight. The right goal is what happens beyond the danger zone.

What's the danger zone? That's when you get to your goal weight. You see, many can get to their goal weight, but only a few stay there. A weight loss mindset is required to maintain your goal weight for life.

If you want to succeed in life long weight maintenance then you must set a goal that goes far beyond the day you reach your goal weight on the scale. Where most fail is they can reach their goal weight but as soon as they do they start to "relax".

Do you know what happens when a climber reaches the summit and they "relax" up there?

They die. No joke.

Do you know what happens when an overeater makes it to their goal weight and they "relax" their eating habits?

They quickly gain back the weight they lost plus extra.

And then they die, metaphorically, meaning that parts of themselves die with every pound they gain back and every failure they have with their weight: their self-esteem, self-confidence, belief in themselves,
