If you’ve ever tried to lose weight, you know it’s not so easy. In fact, it can be incredibly challenging (just look at all the billions of dollars we collectively spend on weight loss every year). 

So that begs the question: why is losing weight so hard?

While challenges with weight loss are multifactorial, today we look at one of the hidden psychological obstacles that often gets in the way.

And that’s feeling like the things we must do to lose weight are a form of self-punishment

It can seem like we’re being forced to do things that we don’t enjoy, and eat foods we don’t love, and the real kicker? We must do them F.O.R.E.V.E.R. 

Healthy decisions like:

  • Eating vegetables at every meal
  • Minimizing processed foods and sugary snacks
  • Fitting in time at the gym most days
  • Prioritizing meditation or yoga over Netflix or surfing the web…

… can have us feeling like there’s no longer any pleasure or enjoyment in life.

Friends, as long as weight loss feels like self-punishment, we’re always going to be in a battle with ourselves. 

As Marc points out to guest coaching client, Adrianne, it’s pretty hard to find freedom in weight loss when getting there has us feeling imprisoned. 

As you’re about to learn, a big part of the weight loss journey is reversing the old belief, “I must punish myself in order to lose weight.” 

That’s what this episode is all about: learning how to transform this negative belief that holds so many of us back.
