Have you heard this baby elephant metaphor before?

When circus elephants are young, their trainer ties a rope to their back leg then wraps the rope around a heavy stake in the ground. The baby elephant is not strong enough to break free. In time, it learns to be constrained – to not even try.

Later, as a fully mature adult, the trainer only has to tie a rope around the elephants leg and attach the other end to any pole or stake, and the elephant believes it's still trapped, even though it has amazing strength and power and could break free with zero effort. But because it's been conditioned to believe it's not strong enough, it no longer tries.

That's how I felt after years of yo yo weight loss/weight gain. My mind became conditioned to think it was impossible for me to break-free, that it was impossible for me to ever succeed at ditching the weight for life. And as a consequence over time, I'd begin weight loss programs with a limiting belief about my ability to succeed from the get go, and eventually I became unwilling to bet my emotional shirt on any weight loss program, because I didn't feel I had the emotional wherewithal to face another failed attempt.

I talk to men and women every week who have succumb to the same limiting beliefs after having tried everything to lose their excess weight permanently.

It's a terrible place to be mentally, to feel that you cannot overcome your own mind and body and win the war over wanting so you can have the health and happiness you want.

And it's because of that history of failure that we become unwilling to put our emotions on the line and reach out, because it's too painful to risk another failure.

If that's you, it's ok, making the decision to trust another weight loss program is hard and you're making the right decision for right now.

Over the last 30 years of personal research I documented over 300 change behaviour strategies and interventions which I call the Freedom Codes™.

From those 300 Freedom Codes™ I selected the most effective and developed the online course 6 Step Mind Body Transformation™ - Dare To Be Happy.

This online course teaches you how to systematically shift how you approach your own mind so you can change your thoughts and feelings about food, exercise and what you believe you can achieve.

When you’re ready to find out more about the course and break-free from those conditioned responses, just reply to any of the weekly emails, give me a call or send me an SMS.

In the meantime, here’s to your health and happiness so you can love what you create.
