Top 10 Fears That Will Sabotage Your Weight Loss

(Don’t let them keep you from goal!)

What If there’s a Reason You Haven’t been able to Stick With Your Diet?

When you think about the process of losing weight you probably don’t think about fears that will sabotage your weight loss, and you’re more than likely not considering the top 10 fears that will sabotage your weight loss.

But what if you’re bypassing a critical reason you haven’t been able to stick with any diet long term?

What if you’re missing out on the weight loss you deeply, desperately desire, because a food diet just can’t fix what the real problem is?

HINT: The real problem is not the food. The food is only the substance of choice. Without unhealthy eating behaviors, food cannot cause overweight. Make sense?

You’re Not the Only One

The thing is, if you’re like the majority who are struggling to quit emotional eating, stop binge eating, and stop making poor food choices, you assume the only solution is doing another diet or getting back on the wagon with a diet you’ve done in the past.

This is what the mainstream diet industry has trained you to think, so of course it makes sense that that’s what you get caught up in.

But then… why isn’t is working?

Why isn’t a healthy eating plan fixing your overweight for good?

What If

Have you ever considered that if a food diet were the only thing you need to cure your overweight and overeating, then why are you struggling to lose weight? After all, there are numerous healthy eating plans available for free at your public library, so lack of information is not the problem.

You have everything you need to lose weight, and when you examine your otherwise successful life you can clearly see you aren’t lazy.

So what gives?

What if healthy eating information isn’t enough?

Does it make sense that if it were enough, then you wouldn’t be overweight right now. Make sense?

Maybe There’s MORE to Weight Loss…

The mainstream diet industry easily brainwashes you to believe “Just do It!” and if you don’t, you’re lazy. Like I mentioned above, you’re definitely not alone in your food and weight struggles. In fact, you have millions battling the same problems along side you now, as you read these words.

Since overeating, overweight, and emotional eating (along with binge eating) are such widespread problems, maybe it’s possible there’s a lot more to weight loss than you have ever considered.

Maybe it’s possible that you’re not lazy, you’re just missing something. Something you can’t get from a food diet. Something that will allow you to DO that healthy food diet, and achieve the weight loss success you’d love to have.

Maybe there’s more to weight loss than you can see.

Maybe it’s possible there’s a level you’ve never addressed when it comes to losing weight and keeping it off, and that unaddressed level is sabotaging your weight loss now.

What I’ve Observed Since 2009

As a professional permanent weight loss coach skilled in helping my clients heal the real problems that stand in the way of the weight loss you crave, I’ve been fortunate to have many years to observe several patterns that are shared with very smart, successful women who aren’t able to get control of their eating simply by doing a food diet.

Over the past 11 years (I began coaching in 2009 – 11 years as of the time of this writing!) what my weight loss coaching clients have brought to the table are the most common fears that can sabotage your weight loss.

Easy (for me) to See

These fears are are very easy for me to spot when working with my weight loss coaching clients, which is good for them so that they can get unstuck fast! This is simply a matter of my training as well as intuitive talents, but what’s interesting is these fears are hidden road blocks for my coaching clients until we work together.

It’s having the real-time, two-way communication over the phone that leads to the breakthroughs it’s either impossible to get on your own, or it takes 10-20 years of trial and error when you just can’t see what is hidden from your view. The reason it’s hidden is because you are living in it now. It’s your “normal” and is simply what you continue to struggle with, unfortunately.

These weight loss, hidden roadblocks would cause my coaching clients to feel hopeless and frustrated prior to working with me because they knew exactly what they needed to do to lose weight, but they couldn’t get themselves to do it, and stick with it.  

The first step is raising your awareness of your roadblocks starting by recognizing any fears that are stopping you and then, taking action with the right tools to dissolve them.

And it’s Easy to Stay Stuck  

This is why real-life coaching with a professional permanent weight loss coach is so highly valuable: it’s so easy to stay stuck in your version of your struggle, it makes it impossible to see the way out on your own. I’ve been there before too, so I understand how frustrating that is! But even having the awareness isn’t enough to make the shift.

What most people do at this point is try to force themselves back to another food diet, but within one to seven days, they give up on it again. Their internal fears/roadblocks pull them back into poor food choices, hopelessness, and further self-doubt that they will ever break free.

Quite honestly, it’s a heavy heavy muck-mire to endure, and most choose food to try to feel better about it. Unfortunately that choice reinforces the entire pattern of struggle and ongoing self-sabotage.

That sabotage shows up in your binge eating, late-night cheat-eating, emotional eating, stress eating, and even more. All of the unhealthy behaviors that stop you from losing weight, these behaviors are driven by the unseen that a food diet cannot help you heal.

I’ve even had coaching clients share with me that they either listened to my on my podcast or they read one of my articles (like the one you’re reading now) and they still couldn’t connect the dots within themselves until they worked with me personally, in real time.

Is This Making Sense?

It is making sense why food diets have failed you?

How can you do it when you can’t see what you can’t see?

All of the hidden roadblocks that just might be sabotaging you now.

Top 10 Fears That Will Sabotage Your Weight Loss

Let’s take a look at the top 10 fears that will sabotage your weight loss now:

1. Fear of missing out
2. Fear of failing (again)
3. Fear of what other people will think
4. Fear of gaining the weight back (again)
5. Fear of feeling hungry
6. Fear of not being good enough
7. Fear of feeling your emotions
8. Fear of losing your spouse if you reach your goal weight (you cannot count how many weight loss coaching clients I’ve coached who have shared this fear – how will you ever reach you goal weight without the right tools to release this?)
9. Fear of being noticed

Keep in mind that these are only the most common fears shared across the board with my weight loss coaching clients over the past 11 years (since 2009 – might be longer depending on when you are reading this article). I could make a list of 50 Fears or more. I’ve kept this top 10 list contained to the 10 most common fears that will sabotage your weight loss.

It’s more than likely you have fears that intersect with this list and/or fears that you might think are odd or weird, but it doesn’t matter.

What I mean specifically when I say “it doesn’t matter” is that it doesn’t matter what the fear is, there’s no such thing as a “wrong fear” – there’s only fear that is standing between you and your weight loss goal. It’s the FEAR that will keep you fat because the Fear Fuels your unhealthy eating behaviors, especially at night, during times of stress, and whenever you use food as a source of comfort or as a crutch.

What is important is you take the right steps to dissolve your fears that are sabotaging your weight loss now because if you don’t, they will continue to stop you from reaching your goal weight.

What If There’s a Better Way to Lose Weight? A Way that Works?

You’ve just read the top 10 fears that will sabotage your weight loss. Each of these fears have come up again and again throughout the years with my weight loss coaching clients which means you’re not alone in your struggles to lose weight! There’s a reason you haven’t been able to do it alone.

Where you go from here is up to you. You have a choice: you can decide to keep doing what you’re doing, and accept that your results will correlate.

Or you can decide to take a new route, a different route, a route you have never taken before in your entire life. That’s the path to the fastest way out of the struggle with your eating and your weight.  

That’s the path that fast tracks your weight loss success. Coaching with the right coach and the right system can get you there.
