👀 Why you can’t stop once you start
Let me tell you about ‘The Permission Paradox’.
It’s this… ☕️- The more you allow yourself to eat something, the less power it has over you.
When you remove the “I can’t have that” label, the urgent need to eat it all RIGHT NOW disappears.
(And I know, you’re thinking “Angela, as if this will work…” but trust me, it really does. I’ll explain)
When a client who’s told herself for years “I can’t keep chocolate in the house, I can’t be trusted” gives herself full permission to have it in the cupboard… the result? Three weeks later she’s got half a bar left.
This isn’t just ‘willpower’ (because if that worked, you’ve reached your goals by now!)
What’s really worked? The chocolate just lost its power because it’s no longer ‘banned’ or ‘bad’.
This is one of the first things I teach inside The Last Plan, my coaching programme for women who are done with diets that always let them down.
No more dragging yourself through the week hoping this time will be different.
Just systems that actually work with your brain, not against it.
If you’ve been stuck in the “start again Monday” cycle and you’re ready to break it for good, drop me a DM and I’ll personally respond for a good chat about what’s happening for you right now and how we can change it… for good!
