I have spent the majority of my career as a dietitian (17 years now) in weight management. 👩⚕️ Here are 9️⃣ things I know for sure…
1️⃣ About 5% of people I’ve ever seen, take what is given to them, go do it, and change their life for good.
95% of us (this includes me) struggle.
There are a 💯 thousand reasons why but I will tell you this…. if this is you, it’s because you have some real work to do 🧠🧐 and this real work (should you choose to do it) will change your life in ways you never could have imagined.
2️⃣ Premade diet programs make a 💩 ton of money off you. 🤑 You get fast results and it requires little to no intelligence. The results are never permanent.
3️⃣ All-or-nothing thinking (and therefore behaving) is the number one☝️ saboteur of real change.
People generally have great difficulty thinking outside of rules, good and bad, right and wrong. 🖤🩶🤍
If this is you, choosing a behavior most aligned with relief (instead of a food rule) is a real strategy. 😌
4️⃣ Learning how to feel your feelings is a skill everyone needs and no one is taught. 🫀
Instead, we shove the uncomfortable ones under a rug, or as one client so eloquently put it… in little locked storage containers 🫣 and run to 👉insert known addiction(s).👈
This is a real problem.
5️⃣ Awareness is your single most powerful tool. If you can’t see it, you can’t change it. 👀
6️⃣ We run towards pleasure and away from pain. Even if that means your pleasure is the familiarity of an overbooked schedule, a dysregulated nervous system, and sugar. 🏃
7️⃣ Some people need to accept what is, before they can move on to changing what is.
When too much energy is spent hating on the problem 🤬 (which is only a problem because you believe there’s something wrong with the way you are now)…
you don’t have much room for the solution. This makes fast diet programs more enticing to you, keeping you stuck on the roller coaster.
8️⃣ The biggest obstacle we will ever encounter is ourself. 🚧
9️⃣ And, since there is no bigger obstacle outside of ourself, than ourself, we can change for sure.
