Why Your Past Diets Failed and How to Achieve Lasting Results

I have tried every diet. I would stick it out for 30 days, then fall off or have to start over.

I hear that all the time from women wanting to lose weight and keep it off. But I’m calling BS. You haven’t tried everything. Instead…

• The diet mentality failed you.
• Motivation was lost as soon as you didn’t see an instant set of pounds lost.
• The WHY behind your weight loss plan wasn’t taught.
• “Life was crazy” was used as an excuse, and you self-sabotaged your efforts.
• What your body needs to function optimally was never explained to you.

You didn’t adhere to the “diet” because it wasn’t sustainable or tailored to your life, making lasting weight loss and results impossible. You’re worried you’ll fail if you don’t perfectly execute your nutrition plan, leading you to throw in the towel—over and over again. You feel like nothing works for you.

But what you’re truly afraid of now is succeeding. Hear me out. You could be self-sabotaging. Do any of these sound familiar?

• Self-Doubt: The words you say to yourself are negative due to previous “failed” attempts or regaining weight.
• You Can’t Stick to It: There always seems to be something that gets in the way of the perfect plan, leading to countless restarts.
• Stressed Out Binge Eating: Your last plan didn’t allow sweets or salty snacks, so you use food for comfort when stressed, rebel against the plan, and end up in a “fudge it” mood.

How great would it be to actually feel successful in a weight loss plan? Seriously, imagine what that would look like for you:

• No more hating what you see in the mirror.
• No more hiding under baggy clothes.
• Recognizing yourself in family photos.

How much better would you feel? How much more energy would you have if you embarked on a health journey and achieved those results? What quality of life would you have?

To stop failing at every attempt of weight loss, consider reaching out for support. A customized strategy plan can make all the difference. By understanding your unique needs and addressing the root causes of past failures, you can create a sustainable plan that works for you. Don’t let fear of failure hold you back from achieving lasting results and improving your quality of life.
