Limiting Beliefs:

I always think examples are the best way to bring to life any topic that feels a it intense or confusing. I’ll give you some limiting beliefs that I’ve heard from clients: (real people in real time):

- I will never lose this weight

- My whole family is overweight, I was destined to gain these pounds after menopause

- I don’t belong in a gym

- I’m not an athlete, never have been, never will be

- I don’t have the motivation to eat healthy

- You could never convince me to give up my diet coke

- I’m a terrible cook, I don't’ belong in the kitchen

- I’m too old

- It’s too late

- I have no self-control

- I have no willpower

- I’m too weak

- I’m too small

- What if I fail?

- I hate eating healthy

- I can’t stick to anything

- I lack motivation

- I have a slow metabolism

Let’s work through Limiting Beliefs:

1. Name a belief that is holding you back? (ex. I have a slow metabolism)

2. Where did this belief come from? (ex. possibly a parent)

3. How is this belief harmful? (ex. it takes away my hope for weight loss)

4. What is a better alternative for this belief? (ex. I don’t have a fast metabolism, but I have seen results when I pay attention to my food choices and movement)
