What do you think would happen if I told you I’d give you $1 million to lose weight?

Might you be more motivated to lose weight than before I made the offer?

What about your belief in your ability...might you have more confidence in yourself that you could succeed?

Notice what changed.

The task is the same.

It’s your commitment to make it happen and your belief in your ability that changes everything.

Let me tell you about Cheryl.

She came to me looking for help losing the weight she’d gained during COVID.

She said she’d never weighed more in her life.

She was super successful at work, yet felt powerless when it came to her weight.

She believed she faced a near impossible challenge …

“My DNA is screwed”

“My metabolism is bad”

“It used to be so much easier”

But, as she learned to make herself feel better without food, and started eating in a way that didn’t lead her to throw in the towel over the weekend, she started to lose weight.

And an entirely new story emerged.

She started to believe that when she changed some of her habits she actually could lose weight.

And that inspired her to continue making changes. She started drinking less. She started including the healthy foods she noticed her body wanted.

You see as she became less committed to her weight loss-is-impossible story and more committed to seeing what was possible, she started making progress.

With that came the confidence and motivation to keep going, along with her current story …

“It feels like nothing, it’s easy”

If weight loss is feeling like a struggle, you might want to stop looking for the “perfect” diet, and start looking at the stories you tell yourself.

And it might not even require a $1 million dollar lure.
