What To Expect From My Coaching…
Think about it. You’re all in – you’re obsessive, banning foods, training daily, overhauling your life. How long will that intensity last? How will you cope when you decide to consume those foods again or miss a couple of sessions? Will you class it as failing? Spiral out of control into an emotional binge? Attaching success on unrealistic actions will result in ending up “all out”. In complete fuck it mode. Totally off the wagon. Clients who are all in all out. We break that thought process.
It never has, and it never will. The sooner you accept that, the less time and money you’ll spend on shitty crash diets. Cutting foods out, does not solve the root problem. It masks it. Only to be uncovered when emotions get high. By restricting, we acknowledge that these foods have a power over us that we cannot control. Fearful that when consumed, we will not be able to control ourselves and the floodgates will open, and there you are “off the diet” again. We focus on normalising, not restricting.
“I’ll be happy when I hit X weight”, “I’ll be happy when I have X amount of money”, “I’ll be happy when I have X title”.
This is not how the world works, and definitely not how the fitness world works. We rush the journey to our arbitrary destination, only to realise that it was never the answer. It’s anticlimactic. Prioritise performance goals, celebrate the small wins as you progress week to week, month to month and year to year. That arbitrary destination will come as a by-product of finding true happiness in the experiences of overcoming challenges and developing behaviours that align with our goals along the way. We find happiness in the now.
Attaching all sense of accomplishment and success to the weight on the scales is going to fail you. So let’s say the scale going up or down, you do not to be relying on scale validation, because if I if a scale goes up, then you’re fucked. You’re so stuck in your own mind and you’re so overidentified with the scales that you’re emotionally a hostage tot hem. They go up, and the first thought that comes to your head is you’ve failed. It should not control your emotions in such a way that it dictates your mood, if down you’re in great form, if it stays the same of goes up slightly you get depressed. We work on breaking this black and white thinking.
