The more Your Identity around your weight shifts, the less of that EXHAUSTING inner conflict you feel, and the EASIER it feels to lose the weight and keep it off.
When something FEELS easy to YOU, it’s easy for you to do.
In case this is new information for you and you’re not sure you believe it yet, let me give you a few more examples to prove it to you.
See if you can relate to any of these...
Saying “I’m always late” makes it feel effortless to be late.
Saying “I love to read!” makes it feel effortless to read.
Saying “I love to watch movies!” makes it feel effortless to watch movies.
Saying “I can’t do anything right” makes it feel effortless to make mistakes (even if you don’t want to make them).
Saying "I'm an emotional eater" makes it feel effortless to emotionally eat.
Saying “I’m a procrastinator” makes it feel effortless to avoid the things you should be doing.
Saying “I’m a smoker” or “I love beer” makes it effortless to smoke or drink beer.
See what I mean?
When a behavior matches a piece of Your Identity, it feels easy and effortless to do.
If the behavior is one you want to have, that’s great!
But if it’s not, you’re stuck trying to FORCE yourself to behave differently.
It can be done, but it’s EXHAUSTING because you’re constantly fighting against yourself.
