The Willpower Lie

“Well, try a little harder.”

A Rebel who joined a 10 Pound Takedown said that’s what people used to tell her when she tried to lose weight.

For two years, this woman biked eight miles a day to and from work, and biked to the gym for an hour, six days a week.

She walked AND ran (literally RAN) up and down six flights of stairs every day at lunch.

And on top of all that, three days a week she biked an extra four miles just so she could climb a very challenging hiking hill for an HOUR.

She even kept her calories low.

And yeah, she did lose weight…but look at everything she had to go through.

And she didn’t even lose it all!! She plateaued way above her goal. 

Not only wouldn’t her weight budge even one more pound…it started creeping back up, “a pound here and a pound there.”

Exhausted from all the working out she was doing, she also had to put up with the people around her telling her, “Well, maybe try a little harder,” and “work on your willpower.”

This woman’s willpower had NOTHING whatsoever to do with why she couldn’t lose all her weight.

“Eat less, exercise more,” and “it’s your fault because you have no willpower” are HUGE weight lies lies we’ve been fed for decades.

Does willpower matter?

Yep.

But it cannot possibly help you if you’re devoting it to something that will NEVER work because it’s completely unsustainable.

You try and try and try, only to get shamed by yourself and the people around you, and even total strangers…

All because we’re brainwashed to believe that fat people must be lazy. 

Does the woman I’ve described here, who killed herself for two years, sound “lazy” to you?

Exercise is not a way to address your weight problem.

Weight loss is 100% nutrition.

Embrace that, and you will FREE yourself from the willpower and exercise lies that have shamed you for decades.
