Emotions Drive You To Fat Loss Success


By Scott Tousignant, BHK, CFC

What you are about to read is an excerpt from an interview that I did with Marna Goldstein from the MP3 audio program, Unstoppable Fat Loss. If you adopt the mindset that we cover below and apply it to your workouts and nutrition plan, you can expect success and amazing results.

Scott: Those are key points. If emotions are that powerful to make you put on weight, you can use them to your advantage to take off weight as well. I'm sure that's what you coach your clients on, working with emotion.

Marna: Yes.

Scott: It's powerful. It's one thing to have these powerful thoughts and to think about what you want, but really the emotion is what's going to drive it and help make it permanent. It's made it permanent in the negative sense up to this point.

Marna: Yeah, you got it. That's exactly right. That's precisely it. If you've been physically abused, somebody has come into your space that you didn't want. Then all of a sudden you gained some weight and you saw that nobody was coming into your space. That feels pretty good.

Scott: That's right.

Marna: Then, as you're dealing with those issues in those areas and you want to release the weight, there has to be that psychological component as well around the emotion to feel the safety, to feel that it's going to be OK, to feel that you'll be strong no matter who comes into your space.

Scott: Right.

Marna: Whether it's just simple things like "I don't deserve it."

Scott: Right.

Marna: "I don't believe I can attain it." Pretty basic beliefs that have significant impact on results.

Scott: That's a huge impact. When I started doing the research for my book and I was asking people what holds you back, I was blown away by people saying, "I just don't believe I can do it. No matter what you give me or tell me, I just don't think I can do this. I don't believe I can follow through with the whole thing, or I don't deserve it."

That one word, that one phrase has been holding them back for years and years and years. For some of them, it wasn't until I asked them that question, "What's holding you back" where they really realized, "I just don't believe that I can do it." So many people asked me, "How do I believe in myself?" It's kind of a difficult question. How would you answer it?

Marna: It is difficult. You know, it's a great question because it's powerful. I think there are incredible techniques like EFT which can help. That's particularly what EFT does. It helps with changing beliefs through a tapping mechanism.

Scott: Yep.

Marna: For me, I've seen huge results in other areas of my life as well around using EFT, so there are strategies. The other thing is, for the person that you mentioned that gets really excited for those first three days.

Scott: Right.

Marna: And then the excitement kind of drops off.

Scott: Right.

Marna: I often suggest having a really powerful vision, something that just tickles their insides. Typically, someone who's preparing for a wedding has a pretty strong vision.

Scott: Right.

Marna: And will keep that vision powerful and will keep moving towards the goal. Or somebody who's competing in a competition or whatnot, that's a strong vision that someone can hold out there. If you don't have a wedding or a competition, we've got to create a vision that's going to knock your socks off, that every day you think of it, and you're like, "Yes! I want to create this body."

Scott: That's right.

Marna: "I want to have this desired state." So vision work is a lot of what I do as well at the beginning.

Scott: Again, it's the emotion. You just got me thinking about one of my clients, and this is how I got her to get out of this whole non-believing thing. When she started actually losing weight, she told me that, "Oh yeah, this morning when I was putting on my pants, I showed my husband look at how loose my pants are."

They were loose. She was actually showing me. She was pulling on the back of her pants and saying, "Look. I was showing my husband that I've got all this space in my pants here, and it was so exciting. It was a really cool feeling.” I told her, “OK, keep feeling that. How great was that feeling? Didn't that feel like the best thing, where you're showing off to your husband? Think of all those emotions and how wonderful it is and whenever you're feeling bad thoughts or whenever you're about to grab something that's not so good for yourself, think of how great that moment was.” This is really powerful.

That was something that really hit home with her. Getting on that scale and seeing the weight loss didn't really excite her all that much. She wasn't getting all that pumped up. But as soon as she started feeling those clothes loose, and she could show that it was noticeable, that's when she really got all those emotions stirred up. So, whenever someone tells me they've got a specific number that they're going to aim for, I say, "That's not really what you want." It's that feeling that she was feeling at that moment.

Marna: That's true.

Scott: When she was excited and proud of herself, that's what you want and everything associated with that moment is what you want. You don't want to drive for that number.

Marna: No, you don't want to strive for the number. The number can be motivating for a few days.

Scott: Right.

Marna: It's not going to get you excited and pumped up and passionate in the way that that feeling does.

Scott: Right.

Marna: The feeling of success and accomplishment, and so sometimes if someone hasn't achieved that success or accomplishment around their body yet, we find other areas in their life. You know most everybody has had an area, whether it was getting a degree and keeping that vision of having that walking down and getting that diploma. Whatever it may be, we've all had areas of success that we've accomplished because we created a picture in our mind and we held it so closely, and we just moved towards it consistently.
