Day6

The speaker discusses the anxiety and impatience that women often experience when trying to lose weight. They explain that the anxiety comes from a lack of belief in their ability to succeed and the fear of potential obstacles. The speaker emphasizes the importance of focusing on daily actions and having faith that consistent effort will lead to progress. They encourage listeners to embrace uncertainty and focus on the process rather than obsessing over the outcome. The speaker believes in the listener and encourages them to take small steps towards their goals. There are some things about fat loss in women that I understand like most others don't. Most coaches give a plan, and they can't understand why their client, who wants weight loss so bad, can't just follow it. They do want it so bad, but there is this anxiety, this impatience, this pressing experience that's hard to explain. I wasn't impatient because the losing weight was taking too long. Rather, I was anxious because it was like watching a TV drama. Will it happen? What's going to happen? How will it end? See, I wasn't anxious because I was so excited to lose the weight and fit into the dress or wear a bikini. Looking back now, I was anxious because I didn't think it was going to happen. I had no evidence that I could lose weight and keep it off. That anxiety led me to obsess about every little thing. Should I fast? How long should I fast? What if I lift weight and I get bulky? I probably ate too many carbs. What if I've messed up my metabolism for so many years and now I can't lose weight? What if my kids see me trying to lose weight and I mess up their body concept? What if I lose weight and I have skin? Man, I don't want to have extra skin. I know I can do this today, but how in the world will I manage my vacation time? This is unsustainable. Maybe it's a lifestyle, but I've never lived like this, and I don't know anyone who does. Does any of this sound familiar to you? This comes from an urge to control the outcome. The trouble is that you can't really control outcomes. You can only control your actions today, and you must have faith that if you do the actions consistently over time, that you will make progress. It's that simple. It's okay to say, I don't know how long this will take. I don't know what it's going to look like. I don't know if I'll have to tweak things. But I do know that if I'm eating well, and I'm moving appropriately, and I'm managing my stress, and I sleep and it's good for me, I will lose weight by doing these things. When you feel this anxiety creeping up on you, or when you start wondering if you're even doing this thing right, or if you can even achieve the goal you have in mind, remind yourself that the win is in the doing. So go win right now. What is the next win that you can do to get a W on your scoreboard? I believe in you, and I'm proud of you, and I can't wait to see how you progress.
