#362 CHELSEA CROSS; holding onto this thing is keeping you from getting lean; 5 things to accept in your journey

Once you stop focusing on being smaller, you realise “hey my body can do crazy ass shit” Too comfortable in a dieting mindset….. But its not even Its just fear And people get impatient with deficits so its like boom bust nothing to see… and then you use past struggles as your thing to relate to for what will happen Playing it safe… hoping to have something amazing to see at the end of a deficit… or even at the end of the “build” but they never ate enough Okay so maybe discussion can be around clients who want to get leaner who are already lean What is best for them to improve their physique Fears they have and how they roadblock themselves Mindsets that keep people form the lean results they want The more we try to diet and lose fat, the worse our body composition will be… Fatigue Unsustainable Falling off track Not being in aplace to build Not being in a palce to lose fat We all will face menopause Then what If you arent building muscle… are you doing enough to maintain it or are you sabotaging that too Why maintenance is where most people should be and sometimes pushing into a surplus, especially if don't have alot of body fat (which many of us may feel we do… bc we don't see ourselves as we are REALISTIC TIMING How 6 months isnt enough to build appreciable muscle If youre maintenancing it there, then double the time… aka think 1-3 years going between maintenance and slight surplus & 3-6 years if in maintenance doing it… but you wont have to worry about having a heap of fat to fat lsos away Person dependent get a coach The biggest set back in getting lean; is patience with results Where to shift focus to so you get to a place of just checking the boxes bc it does get repetitiverepetiticec and you feel you have nothing to report to your cocaoch about Seems never ending so you may not give your all- not seeing the true potential of a dieting phase and just always feels hard Not optimal place to build muscle Which is the best part Value of coaching here Value of filming lifts If you arent seeing results and you think yorue eatin genough, think again Touching on the fear that eating out of a deficit for a sustained period of time is a place of discomfort for most women, but a great growth phase. Maintenance can be a great phase to see physique changes while keeping body fat stable Flexes long term gratification vs spontaneous decisions from emotion ** fear around being that person Losing things they like now Oh but then i can never eat X What if my relationships change What the fuck i have to keep this level of hard…. I feel theres too much to do and Stressful day ** want to control something Stress and relationship with food/body Beliefs and breaking them
