The dieter's mantra is, I just want to lose weight. But that is not your real goal. You don't want to lose weight, you want to live at your goal weight. When you focus on losing weight, what you're doing subconsciously is you're reinforcing the identity of being an overweight person, because you only want to lose weight when you're overweight. And so if you start focusing on living at your goal weight, you start to reinforce an identity of living at your goal weight, which is what the true goal is. So. So start focusing on being at the weight you want to live at for the rest of your life and the weight loss will start to happen naturally.
