An Outdated Model of Weight Loss

All of these things, and more, when stored in your subconscious, become the driving force for self-sabotage around weight loss. And when I started addressing the deeper subconscious drivers with my clients, weight loss kicked off again and self-sabotage habits dwindled.

As someone who has been in the trenches, both personally and with weight loss clients, I implore you to dig deeper again. Look at the subconscious mind, and what is stored in there. Look at the factors behind their actions, their motivation (or lack thereof).
