I know that many of us are glad that 2020 is over and see 2021 as a fresh new beginning. One of those new beginnings for most people is a new diet.
If you're starting a new healthy eating plan to lose weight, you need to listen to this first.
There are 4 keys to a successful weight loss plan that I’m going to be sharing with you today. You’ll be happy to know that none of them require weighing your food or counting macros!
[0:00] Most of us struggle with weight loss because of our mental chatter. Now we all have beliefs about ourselves, whether we know it or not. And we're making choices each and every day based on those beliefs. Your mindset can either gives you the momentum and the motivation you need or it can be your worst critic that sabotages your success.
[5:11] If you have trouble with how to get motivated, or how to be motivated, it could have nothing to do with your drive. Instead, it could actually be that you have the wrong goal, or not emotionally connected to your goal, or you haven't defined your goal well enough.
[7:45] If you struggle with motivation, it's likely that you're experiencing some inner blocks that prevent you from the clarity you need to get motivated.

So it really is important to nourish your brain and your body so that it's easier for you to lose weight.

[21:10] Finding someone to keep you accountable is also helpful for feedback and reinforcement.
[22:23] So if you've been frustrated with trying to make healthy changes, or lose weight to no avail for months, and maybe because your weight loss plan isn't sustainable.
[22:48] Chronic yo yo dieting you know to fit into a dress for a special occasion or bikini for a vacation that completely burns your metabolism out.
