Pain motivates quick action but not lasting change. A personal trainer explains why weight loss sticks when you shift from avoiding discomfort to adopting the identity of someone who enjoys healthy food, not just someone escaping pain.
So I think on that with clients is I have a saying which is pain will push you until the vision pulls you. And the reality is you're gonna move your hand from a hot burning stove much faster than you're gonna reach for a cool bottle of water. That's the reality. So if you can find someone's pain, that's awesome. But the problem is when we say related to fat loss, if someone stays stuck in pain, then they're just looping the same experience. So the person who needs to lose 10 kilos forever needs to lose 10 kilos because they're constantly trying to get themselves out of pain. So you— there does come a point where the loss of 10 kilos needs to transform into the want of staying healthy and being a healthy person who loves healthy foods that builds and nourishes their body. Yeah. So regardless of whether you're leading an individual or leading a team of people, you always want to— you want to coach the identity aspect of things.
