Psychological Barriers and Self-Sabotage

January 17, 2025

I have something amazing to say after this podcast, but that part that you just said there, I completely had a little laughing moment because this is what I've been telling all my girls this week because my coach put me onto, I'm saying, like I have a coach, he's a psychologist. and anyway I'm reading The Mountain Is You it's funny there is no mountain the mountain is you you are the one that's stopping yourself and it is so true like it is the best book anyone listening to this please get the book like it wasn't until I was around 70 to 70 70 percent through the book that I'm like fuck hello like most of it was just like yeah this can help me help my clients but as soon as I got to there I'm like yep this is this is my section of the book But we are always our own mountain. And that is what I wanted to get at with this. We are always the ones stopping ourselves. And regardless, I will always say, our job as a coach is to stop you doing dumb shit. And it's not that it's dumb shit because it's not your fault. You just, you're scared of eating more food. So then as soon as you start to eat more food, you panic, the pants get tight, whatever it is. And then you second guess everything and then put yourself back into a deficit. And then you end up spinning your wheels. Like you're stopping yourself. Ali was stopping herself. Everyone stops themselves until they had enough and they finally just go all in. And as soon as you go all in, I started the podcast off with this. Luke and I know that you're going to get results if you follow what we tell you to do. But it's just that most of us. You have to follow it. You have to actually do it.
