Today,
I’m sharing a mind-blowing idea that changed how I tackle goals —
like losing weight for good.
When I was struggling to lose weight, I'd always
focus on outcomes, like dropping pounds on the scale, but I really
struggled with consistency. I've since learned that one of the most
powerful tools you can have in your lifelong weight loss toolbox is
changing your identity.
In other words, I had to take an inside-out approach
by thinking of myself differently. I had to think and eat like a
'naturally thin' person by focusing on who I'm becoming, not what
I'm doing.
In today's episode, I break down the three different
layers to this process.
The deepest one — identity — is where your permanent
weight loss happens. Instead of ‘I want to lose weight,’ I wanted
to become the kind of person who didn't use food as an emotional
crutch on a hard day. Every small step, like eating well, proves it
to me.
Tiny
actions, like waiting until I'm hungry to eat, helped me rewrite
how I see myself. It wasn't an instant change, obviously, but I was
able to be consistent. I decided who I wanted to be and practiced
mirroring that behavior daily.
Want to
learn how to THINK and EAT like a 'naturally thin' person? It’s
about adopting their inner psychology and eating habits, not just
hitting a number in My Fitness Pal.

wait to tell you about this life-changing strategy!
