Hit Stacey like a Lightening Bolt
In the last couple of weeks Stacey had
‘Had a night out for a friends birthday’
‘Had a weekend away with her boyfriend’
‘Travelled to England for her Aunt’s funeral’
‘Been working a lot of night shifts’
That’s what she told me when I asked how
she was getting on at FBF
It was followed with
‘So my eating has gone to pot’
I didn’t react
We were just about to start a workout
And, at that moment I wanted her to
focus what was controllable right now
– her workout
Not feeling negative about her eating
But after she’s told me her story something
must have smacked Stacey right between
the eyes like a Lightening Bolt
Because she came up to me after the
workout and apologised
I asked what she was saying sorry for
‘I realised that I’ve just been using being
busy as an excuse for eating poorly
I need to change that story’
I was impressed
Very few people admit the truth to themselves
(If you’re ready to then go here)
But you need to otherwise you’ll never move
forward
Of course the easier option is to pretend
everything is ok
Or in Stacey’s case, tell herself that because
of a certain situations (like the ones she listed)
then that means her healthy eating habits will
crumble – like she had no choice.
Now incase you think I’m a mean mofo
I’m not for a minute playing down the
significance of something like her Aunt’s funeral.
Of course that event in itself would be very
emotional and the fact Stacey had to travel
for it means that food choices are perhaps
more limited
And after all we all have lives to live – jobs
to go to, people dependant on us, parties,
holidays, births, deaths.
There’s so much happening
Routine feels like its becoming harder to find
THEREFORE
(Write this down)
If you are to succeed in the weight loss game
you MUST STOP tell yourself that it’s the situation’s
fault or another person’s fault for what you put in
your mouth
If you’re telling yourself that story right now then
you need to focus on changing it
You don’t need to make dramatic changes to every
facet of you life right now
Start by recognising when you’re telling yourself
that all to familiar story AGAIN
Either in your head or to somebody else
LISTEN to what you’re saying
And when you’re just about to say or do the
same thing you always say or do
STOP
You’re sabotaging yourself
You have a choice to change that story
If you are ready for this change, ready to
commit to yourself and are feeling motivated
right now, YET you just need guidance and help
Then our new 8 week Summer Transformation
programme would be perfect for you
(We are only accepting 10 people)

P.S Someone asked me the other day why
it’s application only
There’s some very good reason’s for this
based on a story I’ll tell you next time
Stay tooooned 🙂
