@lukemitchellpt: If the scales shocked you this morning... read this before you start another diet. 👇 Comment "CHRISTMAS" and I'll send you the details of my 12-Week Challenge. Don't panic. Don't slash your calories. Don't promise yourself you'll train every day. Because that's exactly what you've done before. And where did it get you? Here's the truth... You didn't gain 3 stone over a weekend. It happened one small habit at a time. A takeaway became every Friday. A couple of beers became every weekend. The evening snacks became normal. The walks stopped. The gym became "next week." Your clothes got tighter. You bought the next size up. You stopped getting in photos. You stopped stepping on the scales. Then one day... Reality hit. Here's what I'd do instead. 1. Find the habit that caused the weight gain. 🎯 Don't fight the scales. Fight the behaviour. 2. Forget losing 3 stone. Lose the first 5lbs. Momentum is far more powerful than motivation. 3. Keep the habits you can still see yourself doing next year. If you can't imagine doing it in six months... Don't start it today. 4. Expect this to take months, not weeks. You're not behind. You're rebuilding. 5. Make this the last time you ever have to lose this weight. Don't just lose fat. Become someone who no longer lives like the person who gained it. The scales didn't shock you because you failed. They shocked you because you've been ignoring the small habits for too long. Start fixing those... And the scales will eventually take care of themselves. Comment "CHRISTMAS" and I'll send you the details of my 12-Week Challenge. Let's fix the habits that caused the weight gain—not just the number on the scales.
