There are a few reasons you can never get under that 180-200 mark, and none are what you think. It isn’t because you can’t commit to Paleo, Keto, Galveston or Calorie counting. It’s not because you aren’t doing enough cardio or gym work either. I think you’re scared. No, I KNOW you’re scared. This is all you’ve ever known. This is who you think you ARE— this is ALL you 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 you are and will ever be. At some point in life, someone took your power from you. Or you gave it away.
The words or actions they said made you believe in this identity and feel less of yourself. Now you say this isn’t who you want to be, you say you hate this, and you know what’s the worst part? I BELIEVE you. I believe you because I too have been stuck in pain, wanting more, but also finding an odd comfort in the suffering.
I also believe you THINK this weight loss would mean you could no longer have your Starbucks or Dunkin on the way to work, or be able to curl up in a warm blanket with a glass of wine and snacks, while watching your favorite TV Series or Movie. This weight loss would mean a new friend group who doesn’t let you play small, a new way to spend your weekends that doesn’t leave a hangover, a new way to view yourself each morning you get ready to leave. Scariest of all, losing this weight, would mean losing all you’ve ever known… it would be as if you were losing “yourself” literally.
At Fat Butts Are Us, we recognize all of this. We help you take back that stolen power, we help you develop self-love and discipline, but most importantly, we help you find yourself after feeling like you’ve lost it all.
You don't have to do this alone. We might just have a spot for you in our family, when you’re ready!
