When you want results you don't have, it requires you to go into the real world and experiment with your actions to get them lined up to create the result you are looking for. 

The actions that create these results are some combination of: 

• eating less often 
• eating less food 

Creating weight loss can't happen just by 'thinking' about weight loss. It HAS to include analog (real world) actions that will create different results from what you are doing now. 

Think about doing hard things as a badge of honor. To do this, you'll need to be willing to mess up without any reassurances you are doing it right; experiment anyway and see what happens. Being willing to make mistakes, not use that against yourself, and keep going develops the qualities of grit and resilience. 

Thinking about what you need to do without taking the necessary action is an exercise in frustration and exhaustion. 

Weight loss never requires perfection; it only requires you to minimize overeating enough to allow weight loss to happen consistently. 

What if feeling afraid to plan to eat certain foods or feeling scared to stop counting macros or calories is not a reason to avoid eating a little less but rather a chance to show up for your life scared and unsure and figure out that doing it that way is something to be proud of.  

The price you pay for different results is paid for by doing hard things feeling fear and uncertainty and being willing to take action anyway. 

Coach Homework: 

1. What are some things that you doing or not doing that are in the way of weight loss? What is the MAIN one? 
2. This week take ACTION on that one thing that is the way. Keep track. and see how many times you can get it done this week. 
3. Make a guess and see how many times you think you can take that action. Then see what you can make happen this week. 

Call To Action: Leave me a comment on Instagram and let me know what that ONE action is that you commit to doing (or stop doing) this week to get results in your weight loss. 

I can't wait to hear what y'all are up to.
