Summary: Many think that the reason they're overweight is because they're lazy. The problem with this thinking is that you're more than likely going to stay stuck in the cycle of overeating, unhealthy eating, food addiction, <a href="https://fearlessfatloss.com/podcast/how-she-stopped-binge-eating-instantly/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">binge eating</a> self-recrimination, low <a href="https://fearlessfatloss.com/weight-loss/5-ways-low-self-esteem-affects-your-weight/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">self-esteem</a> and more, all due to telling yourself over and over again that you're lazy.<br> <br> Besides that, repeatedly telling yourself you're lazy makes you feel pretty darned hopeless, right?<br> <br> In my experience, the negative self-talk train went like this:<br> <br> "I'm just too lazy to get my act together to lose this weight, therefore I can't <a href="https://fearlessfatloss.com/podcast/the-fastest-way-to-lose-weight/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">lose weight</a>, therefore let's eat more cupcakes, chips and spaghetti because it doesn't matter anyway.....".<br> <br> Can you relate? While maybe your choice of emotional eating or binge eating foods are different, can you relate to the whole cycle of negativity in both thoughts, emotions, behaviors and results?<br> <br> The problem with this negative self-talk is that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy when the reality is, this thought of "I can't lose weight because I'm too lazy" is only a thought. It does not have to be true unless you make it true.<br> <br> <br> This is Good News<br> This is Good News! Why? Because it means that you can change if you want to. You just need the proven system to make that change, if you want to ensure your success.<br> <br> But first, it's good to look at how this self-fulfilling prophecy comes to be.<br> <br> Here's How:<br> <br> First, you unknowingly brainwash yourself to believe you are lazy and you can't lose weight and then you prove it to yourself because your behaviors will match your belief of "I'm too lazy to lose weight" and then, because of your behaviors, your end results on the scale will match up due to your eating behaviors and food choices.<br> <br> But then... (this is a complicated problem, which is why so many stay stuck when trying to solve it all alone).... you think the solution is to start over on Monday, but how does that pan out?<br> <br> So frustrating, I know! I was there myself in the past. You desperately want to lose weight and look great in your jeans, you want to feel attractive again and look your best, you want to feel attractive to your husband or if you're single you want to get out there and date, but instead you're stuck in the loop of hopelessness, telling yourself you're lazy while emotionally eating and/or binge eating, and the weight never comes off.<br> <br> Is there a way out?
