"If at your core you don't believe sustainable weight loss is possible you have no reason to do anything differently. The subtleties of how we think are extremely important. Often we have rules for our selves that we are not remotely aware of."



The interaction we have with all of you helps guide us to what we need to focus on. Our new emotional eating course is an example of that. This is a series of 8 calls that you get sent to you (for free), and you get access to a team.

Because of your input we were quickly able to give you guidance as well as strong peer support to begin the process of getting a more complete understanding of that very complex issue.

This is all work, and a process that we have committed to embark with you.

The common thread to all the work we do at PEERtrainer is helping people on the path to sustainable weight loss.

This article in particular will discuss what we have observed to help people get started in this process.

Key Concept: Getting from a place of frustration, confusion and resignation to one of belief, clarity and hope is the key to sustainable weight loss. Everything we do at PEERtrainer is designed to help increase your level of belief.

Lets start to dig in.

As an exercise, I want to put forth a series of questions to you. Take some time on each one and really think about the reality of the question as it relates to your life:

1. Do you feel like everything you'll do is useless because the scale will go down but it will always go back up because something will always happen? In essence, do you have the expectation that you are going to "yo-yo?"


Exercise: Maybe count the times you have gained and lost "that same 10 pounds."


2. Do you have a hard time reconciling the conflicting information that seems to be out there? Do you often find yourself confused about what kind of foods you should be eating to really lose weight?


Exercise: Think about the last time you threw your hands up because you heard two credible people totally contradict each other.


3. Do you feel lost or that you don't have an absolute foolproof plan or map? Everyone can follow a plan, but do you really feel like you have a plan that you can do within your existing schedule? That you're actually going to do it? That is actually doable?

Exercise: Start to think about the list of things that have worked for you
