So I have done a lot of self reflection this past month. One of the reasons I was struggling so hard with losing the weight in the beginning of my journey was because I refused to let go of my past. I had failed countless times so what made this time different?
IN SCHOOL
Remember in school when you were given a sheet of study material, you were told to study it and that translated into memorizing and repeating it until you could recite it in your sleep? Then you would ace the exam because you memorized everything.
DON'T REPEAT THAT SHIT
You have become accustomed to memorizing a story about yourself and reciting it so much you could say it in your sleep again. It has nothing to do with who you are as a person.
You tell yourself stories every single day. You use "I am" statements to define who you are. How many times a day do you use "I am" statements and add something to the end like - fat, ugly, stupid, pathetic, useless, hopeless, powerless, stuck, annoyed, sad, depressed. You perpetuate these stories by constantly repeating them.
CHANGE THE STORY
Maybe your lack of motivation to change your life isn't a physical thing. There is a reason your weight loss or health journey keeps coming back to your mind. Maybe you lack the motivation to make the change because you have bombarded yourself with a story on how you can't do it anyway. Don't stand in your own way. Let go of what happened in the past. You are trying again for a reason. Don't let past failures convince you that you can't change.
I hope you use this as a sign to get back up if you have fallen. We all fall and we all have the ability to get back up. Just try one more time. Maybe this is the time that'll stick. Get out of your own way and don't hold yourself back. Let go of the other 30 times that you failed. Maybe for you the 31st time is a charm.
Much love to you. I wish you the best.
