Mama,
Self-sabotage is the biggest hurdle when it comes to healthy living or sustainable weight loss. If you’ve ever lost weight, or stuck to a healthy living plan for a few weeks only to find yourself going to town on some chips and salsa at a restaurant, then you know the feeling self-sabotage brings. Guilt. Shame. Frustration. Anger. Mama, you may not realize it but the reason you’re sabotaging your health and weight loss is that you’re scared of what it might bring.
In The Big Leap, by Gay Hendricks, self-sabotaging is called upper limiting. Hendricks explains that our minds are only capable of feeling so much happiness and when we feel that happiness tank overflowing, we look for ways to bring us back down.
This is true in your weight loss journey too. If you’ve seen the weight come off and you’re starting to feel really good about yourself, you unconsciously look for ways to bring your happiness levels back down. I was on a call with a client a few weeks ago and she saw this cycle happening in her journey.
She was sticking to her plan, feeling good about herself, her health, her journey, then she went out to eat and instead of sticking within the boundaries she set for herself, she decided to say, “oh screw it!” She knew in the moment that she wasn’t making the choices she wanted to. She knew that these choices were going to sabotage her, but she couldn’t stop herself from making them in the moment.
After the restaurant, she continued to sabotage herself. She kept beating herself up for the choices she made. When we talked about the experience as a whole, we found three key things that caused the self-sabotage.
First, she was looking at other people’s journeys and comparing them to hers. She thought she should be further along than she was.
Second, she felt guilty about spending money on her health, only to waste it by eating outside of her plans.
Third, she’d spent almost two months focusing on her health and she thought she should be further along than she was.
Mama, comparison, money and time are the biggest ways we sabotage our health. But, luckily it’s also 100% possible to get through these roadblocks and I’m going to show you how.
