Most people with weight loss goal, they go
all guns blazing in the beginning and then they
just die off. In fact, 96% of people who lose
some weight like intentionally, they gain it back.
So this video I want to show you a simple shift
to ensure you don't fall into that 96%. My name is Joe,
I'm a dietician and we work with our clients
completely online. If you've decided that
like motivation and willpower is just doesn't
work for you. Like you, you know, yo you identifies
a yo-yo dieter you lost weight, you gain weight,
lose weight, gain weight, and you've done
that for years and years and motivation is just
not the answer for you. Then please watch the
rest of this video. That's exactly what I'm
going to talk about. I'll also have a guide for
you at the end if you want that and it's it really
builds upon what we do. It's a free guide, I'll
explain at the end. So here's the thing, weight loss
typicaly on a new diet, when you try something
new, you feeling motivated, right? You you
want to do it and so you do it and you get some results
early on this happens, with pretty much everyone.
A lot of it's probably water weight, particularly
if you got a low carb, but the point being that,
you know, you get results at the start and that
kind of fuels you to keep going. And then it slows
down and you start to lose that motivation,
right? And this is the problem. So we start with
with high motivation or willpower, I use
the two interchangeably, those things are finite
they run out and so as soon as your results start
to slow down which they will because it's it's
always like you make a change and you lose weight
fast and then it's going to level off and become
a more steady pace. And when you lose that that
quick trajectory that you had when you were thinking.
Well, at this rate, you know, I'll be down 20
pounds and a few days or a few weeks you start
to lose that motivation, and willpower, and
regardless of what happens, it can it typically
runs out like most of us we can we can run out of that,
pretty quickly. If you are relying on that to,
you know hoping you're going to that's going
to keep you going for the next 3 months, 6 months, 12 months
plus, you are going to have bad time. So what's
the answer? How do you keep on track and keep
motivation? Or willpower? Well it's it's it's
not then or what you want to build upon what you
have to what you have to practice and build and
strengthen is your discipline. Discipline
is doing small things over time that will add up
discipline, ultimately equals the freedom
that you are aiming for. Remember like motivation
is doing something when you feel like doing
it, like the start of a dime, motivation is doing something
when you feel like doing it, discipline is doing
something even when you don't and that is the
key, because life is always going to throw you
curveballs and get in the way things are going
to come up and it's so easy to make excuses. We
can always find excuses if we look for them. Motivation
willpower will never overcome those excuses
and life happening but discipline building
discipline, getting to your goal in these small
little steps that you do, they're non-negotiable
the things that you'll do them even if you don't
feel like doing them that that has to start small.
But if you're consistent with it, that is the
key to getting to your goal. Particularly, if your
goal is going to take many months. Again, motivation
is doing something. When you feel like doing
it, discipline is doing something when you
don't, and you're not going to feel like doing
the things you have to do. For example, I should
say going to the gym, there's going to be plenty
reasons when you don't feel like doing
it, but when you practice a discipline when
it becomes a non-negotiable, you'll do it anyway.
And that is how that is the difference between
In those who are successful with it and those
who are not. So, then, how do you create discipline?
Right, well, I'd love to be disciplined Joe
but I'm not. Well you have to start by like discipline
is the environment you create or around you.
So you have to create an environment of discipline
an environment that encourages discipline
and one major way you can do that is by creating
accountability to help guide you and keep you honest.
You have to have something on the line that,
you know, whether it's pride. You know, you've
told someone, and you don't want to let them
down, whether it's time, you know, a promise
that you've made, maybe it's money, right?
You've invested in a coach or or consulting
or something like that. You have to have skin
in the game. Something to lose that creates
a real accountability. You can't just tell
your your husband who, you know that I'm going
to do this diet honey and you know, I'll get to this
goal. Especially if you've told them that
before, and that didn't work many times because
the relationship, the dynamic of that relationship,
can't keep you accountable. It's unfair,
it's not possible. It has to be, you know, it
has to be done in a particular way. I use that
example because I see it a lot, but ultimately
you need to have accountability from a human
who is professional, who doesn't have an existing
relationship with you who can really help you
out when you're down, where you feel, you can
talk about anything and who also they won’t hold
back to call you out and tell you how it is. Because
if I'm the accountability partner person for
my partner, like, there's no way I'm going to
tell her certain things because it's just I
know it's going to affect other aspects of our
relationship, so that I would actually be terrible
person to keep her accountable. So you need
that person to be objective. You need them to
be able to call you out and help you stay on track.
So, you build that discipline because remember
discipline is what equals freedom. Discipline
is how you'll actually get to your goal. And,
you know, of course there's other ways to help
build discipline but accountability is one
of the easiest and I'd say the big percentage
play there and then discipline is what you really
want to be focusing on rather than motivation and willpower.
And I'll say it one more time because I love this
quote, motivation is doing something. When
you feel like doing it, discipline is doing something
when you don't. And we need to focus on the when
you don't part. So have a think about that. If
