Limiting Beliefs and Excuses! How are they different?

The difference between limiting beliefs and excuses are important to understand. Both will hold you back, but they operate in different ways. Limiting Beliefs Limiting beliefs are deeply held convictions or thoughts about yourself, your abilities, or the world around you that restrict your potential. These beliefs often stem from past experiences, societal messages, or self-doubt, and they shape how you see what's possible for you. Examples of limiting beliefs: "I’ll never be good enough." "I’m not smart enough to succeed." “I have been big my whole life I will always be big." “I’m too old and too far gone ....

Obesity Epidemic and Weightloss Drugs!

We’re at a point in the obesity epidemic where so many people believe their only option for losing weight is through weight loss drugs or surgery. Some believe that they can’t lose weight at all. I hear this all the time I was big my whole life I will always be big. (Not True limiting beliefs) With so many fad diets and quick fixes out there, it’s no wonder people fall into the trap thinking these will work long-term. Yet year after year, we try and fail, only to end up back where we started—or worse, heavier than when we began. But here’s the truth: weight loss drugs aren’t going to fix the root of the problem if you ....

No Food Restrictions...Don't Be Fooled

Don't be fooled by the allure of diets promising no food restrictions or quick fixes! Many trendy diets, like keto, may seem appealing, but think about it – are you really going to swear off carbs forever ?My personal experience with keto taught me that even too much broccoli can knock you out of ketosis!

Restriction doesn't mean giving up all your favorite foods, but it's about finding a balance.Enjoy those savory treats occasionally, but successful weight loss requires a mindful approach. Remember, you can't have everything you want whenever you ....

Skinny Dosen't Always Mean Healthy!

Skinny Does Not Always Mean Healthy—Here’s Why: How many times have you heard someone say, "I’m skinny, so I’m healthy"? It’s a common assumption, but here’s the reality: skinny doesn’t always mean healthy. Let’s break it down. Have you ever heard the term "skinny fat"? This describes someone who may appear to be at a healthy weight based on BMI but actually has a higher percentage of body fat compared to muscle. They look slim, but they’re missing the muscle mass that plays a crucial role in overall health. In this case, the focus needs to be on building muscle and losing fat, which takes time and consistency. ....
