[Love Life And Lose Weight] 6: The Power of Positive Expectation In Weight Loss

In this episode, you will learn how your brain works with the feeling of expectation to prove what you are thinking is true whether that expectation is positive or negative.

Expectation establishes an attraction to the expected result.

Expectation = desire + belief.

With positive expectations, there is an absence of resistance to what you want. This absence of resistance is an essential part of successful and sustainable weight loss.

Practicing negative expectations seems logical but it just makes reaching your goal harder. It's normal to doubt if you'll meet challenges. But what if you doubting is just an invitation to redirect those thoughts around to thoughts that allow positive expectations instead of indulging in negative expectations? 

At a minimum, you can allow doubts to be there but do the things you know you need to do anyway.  This is why I say desire is the most important component of positive expectation. When you let what you want to lead the way, then belief WILL follow.

16:00 Your coach's homework is to come up with 5-10 thoughts you can think that will help you feel positive expectation with your weight loss or maintenance.

My story is powerful proof that the diet industry is broken, and it can and will break you too, unless you are willing to leave it all behind you. We were sold a lie about weight loss that blames the dieter for a lack of self-control in a system that demonizes food as good or bad. That all can stop for you today, too.
