Why we give up

When we start a new diet, we\\u2019re motivated. We\\u2019ve seen how effective this diet is - for example our friend Jane did amazingly well on it. And so we believe that we\\u2019ll do just as well.

It happens all the time - doesn\\u2019t it? That we start a diet, initially we get some good results, and then WHAM! We step on the scale one day & we don\\u2019t lose weight - or worse, we gain. We think to ourselves, \\u201cWhy are we doing this?\\u201d \\u201cThis is so much work & we\\u2019re not even getting results!\\u201d \\u201cIt\\u2019s not working. We should just give up.\\u201d

The thing is, that we KNOW that our results (losing weight) is because of what we\\u2019re doing (eating healthier or exercising, or a combination of both) and that returning to our previous habits are going to result in our previous weight. We know that if we stay consistent, that we\\u2019ll get the results we desire.

So, why do we give up?

In this episode of the Done with Dieting Podcast, I will teach you about thought errors, how our brain lies to us, and what to do so that we stay consistent, don\\u2019t give up on what we truly want, and build the discipline and self-trust that we desire\\xa0
