Sabotage! Being your own worse enemy in weight loss

Have you ever met someone who made the decision to finally go on a diet and lose her extra weight, and she appears to be looking forward with great anticipation to achieving her weight loss goal? She begins her diet with great hope, but things seem to start going wrong right from the very beginning. Where she first presented the appearance of wanting to succeed in her weight loss plan, she now seems to have lost all motivation. She falls off her diet time and time again, by eating what she is not supposed to, and doing a lot of emotional eating and even binging. Not only does she fall off her diet where her eating is concerned, but she is making up excuse after excuse why she cannot fit her exercise plan into her schedule, and she soon stops making any attempt to exercise. What has happened in this example is this woman has sabotaged her own efforts to lose the weight. The first question that comes to mind could be, “Why would she ever do such a thing to herself?” We may think it is strange, but it really is more common than we think. One reason she may have acted in this manner could be that she had heard so many negative comments from others that she would never be able to lose the weight she needed to lose, and to keep it off. Rather than working hard to prove to herself that she could indeed accomplish the task, she let it become a self-fulfilling prophesy, by giving up before she ever gave it a serious try. Another possible reason could stem from her, and not have anything to do with the comments people around her made. She may have a fear of losing the weight and having to live a new lifestyle to maintain a weight loss. She may fear that she would have to leave her comfort zone to embrace that new lifestyle. Maybe she has just gotten so used to the expectations others have or don’t have of her, being an overweight person. Others will not have greater expectations of her if she is still the same overweight person. This way she will not have to face the unknown through greater expectations, or personal growth. Whatever reason someone has for sabotaging her own diet plan, she will never lose weight successfully until she first deals with her reason for purposely making herself fail.
