Today’s CHEATCODE: Fasting mistake—Not Having a Big Enough “Why”
Why are you intermittent fasting?
If your reason is just so you can lose some weight and look good, that’s fine, but when you get to a rough patch, and you will, you are much more likely to quit or give in and go back to your old ways. I recommend digging in and coming up with a better “why”.
For example:
“I want to lose weight and get healthy because I don’t want to live a short life full with limited physical and mental capabilities. I’ve seen my love ones die and suffer from complications of diabetes.
I don’t want to be a carb addict anymore and give into those addictions that make me feel like crap. I want to be in charge of my health and what food I consume.
I want to truly be the best version of myself that I can be!
Physically write it down your “why”.
Now put the “why” where you can see it daily. This can be the bathroom mirror, refrigerator, or anywhere that you can look at it and read it each day. Better yet, write it down each day.
This will help you when things get tough, and you want to have a cheat. Is that cheat worth more to you than your “why”? If you have a big enough “why,” you are more like to answer no to the cheat and stay on track.
What’s your why?
