Guest guest Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 As for your limiting beliefs, I think it is necessary to really listen to your self talk about the subject of weight loss. My beliefs are still coming out to me. Just yesterday, I realized that part of me didn't want to worry about exercising because my body and skin will not be the same as it was when I was younger and fit. But, it was just a fleeting thought that happened to cross my mind and I caught it. As for the positive intent, maybe someone else has a good answer for you. T Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry® Limiting beliefs I'm still trying to figure out what my limiting beliefs are. How can I change my limiting beliefs if I don't know what they are? Is it necessary to know the positive intent of unwanted behaviors before you can change them? Eldred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hi Eldred, I don't think there's an easy answer to this. I have some limiting beliefs too that I'm not sure of the positive intent. Or maybe I should say that I think I know what the positive intent it, but it doesn't " resonate " with me, so I'm not sure if I've got it right. As for figuring them out, I found one of my biggest limiting beliefs while in the shower. I find that if I " chase " after my limiting beliefs, nothing comes. But if I focus on something else and get on with life, something will come up. Sort of like when you forget something and you try so hard to remember, but you can't. Then, suddenly, it'll pop into your head later on when you're no longer thinking about it. Yuna > > I'm still trying to figure out what my limiting beliefs are.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I agree. Eldred maybe you could start by making one small positive change and just forget about the limiting belief for the time being. I also can not figure out what mine is. Ideas sort of come and go but no real aha moments yet. So I have slowly been working on making positive changes over the months and I'm in a place right now where I eat healthy food most of the times and work out on a daily basis. Maybe my limiting belief was an everything or nothing mentality. I was either " on " my " diet " or " off " it whereas now I just try to incorporate as many healthy foods as I can and have stopped thinking about what I shouldn't eat. By the time I eat my oatmeal and raisons and banana and a raw salad and some fruits and yougurt and raw nuts and some dried fruits and have a smoothie or a green juice I'm feeling so good about myself that I hate to mess it up with a cream puff or a hamburger and fries!! (Even though I still have not figured out how to tune out those chocolate bars which scream at the tops of their sweet voices!)  To: insideoutweightloss Sent: Friday, April 29, 2011 4:18 PM Subject: Re: Re: Limiting beliefs  Hi Eldred, I don't think there's an easy answer to this.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 You know Tania I hadn't thought about that as a limiting belief...I've had a few of those moments lately. I think that " No matter how hard I try I will never have the body I had when I was younger " , or " at my age I'll never be able to get back down to my desired weight " and no matter how much effort I put into it, I'll never be able to run like I want to or play tennis as well as I used to " . Those are limiting beliefs, aren't they?? Thanks for sharing and making me rethink my negative limiting beliefs!!!
