ОглавлениеThe Lies We Believe
In the past, we have believed the lies that we were “less than” or “not enough.” These lies poisoned us, and led to our running to food for comfort.
The good news is that lies are just lies. They have no power over us, and when brought to the light of awareness, they cannot survive.
It’s time for you to take back your power by seeing yourself for who you truly are, a bright light who is worthy of the greatest respect and love, able to do and be anything as you follow your heart.
Take a moment to review the following limiting beliefs to see where you may have given your power away in the past. Put a check next to the beliefs that feel familiar to you:
| I can’t lose weight. | |
| I’m not worth it. | |
| I don’t deserve it. | |
| My metabolism is slow. | |
| Healthy food doesn’t taste good. | |
| Healthy food doesn’t fill me up or satisfy me. | |
| I always gain the weight back. | |
| I can’t do food programs because I don’t like to/ have time to cook. | |
| Thin people are all stuck up anyway. | |
| I hate exercise. | |
| If I release weight, I’ll just sabotage myself. | |
| If I lose weight I’ll be vulnerable. | |
| I can’t afford to buy new clothes. | |
| Sweets are an important part of our family traditions. | |
| If I lost weight my spouse would want sex all the time. | |
| Programs like this take too much time. | |
| I don’t like eating breakfast. | |
| It is too much effort to cook separate meals for my family and me. | |
| Eating healthy is too expensive. | |
| I won’t be able to enjoy going out with my friends on the program. | |
| My work schedule is too crazy right now. |
Now write out a response to counter each of the above statements you selected. Write down the truth you know about each limiting lie. For example:
LIE: Programs like this take too much time.
A Possible Counter: If I added up how much time I spend looking online for the next diet, complaining about my weight, shopping for clothes that look decent on me at this weight, going to the doctor, getting my pain meds filled, taking naps because I’m exhausted, etc., it would be obvious that it takes more time to stay at this weight than being healthy ever would.
The truth doesn’t cost you anything, but a lie could cost you everything.
The Power of Commitment - Your Personal Agreement:
We Don’t “Find” the Time, We Make It
Mary Beth Helgens and I have known each other since high school. I had followed her career as a health and wellness coach with great admiration. She is someone I look up to for her loving heart, her strong faith, and her incredible courage.
The day she contacted me about going through the program, I was amazed and delighted. I knew how busy and full her life was already, and the fact that she wanted to make time to participate meant a lot. Today, she is one of the program’s brightest coaching stars. She made time to be her best self.
“Once I followed these 8 simple steps and stopped craving sweets, I have enjoyed more successes on and off the scale. I couldn’t wait to tell my daughter! Since then she also became an Ideal, achieved her IdealWeight, and became an IdealWeight Coach! Transformed by this process, we are empowering others to do the same.”
