❤Why Do We Sabotage Ourselves? Self Sabotage in Weight Loss | Half of Carla

Have you ever been on a weight loss journey, things are going great and then subconsciously you start to sabotage your progress? That's the self sabotage cycle. In today's video I'm sharing all about it and learning this helped me to overcome and get through to succeed.

🔁 I have vowed to not self sabotage this time. I’m committed to being uncomfortable. What an awesome video!

This video came at the perfect time… I did well for two months and then suddenly it was my birthday. My birthday weekend turned into a birthday two weeks of eating like my old self…. so basically eating whatever I wanted. It’s been very hard to get back into it, but I’m holding on.

Hey Carla, because of your videos I've already lost 13 kg since August. You've said some key phrases like: "there is not always motivation just consistency" and "there will be a time you don't have to loose weight any more".
I really like your videos and I'm more than grateful 🙏
THANK YOU! ❤

I found myself during this this week, I had went to work and was getting compliments on the weight-loss and then I came home and ate after 8pm. This is something I hadn’t been during . I knew what I was doing was not helping me. I am doing intermittent fasting and have been doing it since February or March. I feel like I have done this before to myself but I was usually stressed out at that time but I don’t understand why I got compliments and then I am sabotaging myself isn’t anybody else been through this all doing this to themselves?

I have only been able to successfully loose weight once in my life when I was 19 years old and I maintained until age 21. I’m now 27, turning 28 in November… I’ve two kids now, went through almost loosing my mom and sister in an accident and the death of my dad last year. 6 almost 7 years of gaining 90 pounds. Wow I’ve never admitted that. 90 pounds 😭. My wonderful body has brought forth my boys and I’m so thankful for that but I’m tired of being morbidly obese. I don’t want to self sabotage myself again. I want to be fit to be able to enjoy playing with my boys and being on this earth with them as long as I can. My sweet husband has never made me feel bad and always tells me I’m beautiful but I want to “actually” look good for him. Most importantly I want to be healthy and fit for me!!! 🙏

There are many You Tubers who show unattainable weight loss perfection and then talk about how magically their lives have changed cause of weight loss. But what makes you different is that YOU COMPLETELY CHANGED AND IMPROVED YOUR LIFE, BECAUSE YOU TOOK THE PROPER ACTION AND PUT IN THE PROPER EFFORT. You used every tool in the tool box. It doesn’t happen magically just because you lose weight. You are a breath of fresh air in the weight loss community on social media. And your channel has profoundly helped in improving my mindset to lose weight and stick to it.
Thank you for your efforts.

This has helped me see that my self-sabotage comes from unhappy childhood memories . I had a different personality from my siblings, and parents accused me of attention-seeking. I have been fearful of attention that may involve criticism. I need to remember that I am a capable adult, and NOT the little girl being afraid of a parent. Trauma dies hard; and I am working on overcoming it.

Yes! I have broken this cycle over two years ago in my sixties- I never thought I could, but I have and I am off the wheel

[antheaandre]

🔄 Thank you for this video, Carla! Would love to see more like these. I feel like you're always here saying what I need to hear at the exact right time for me 😅
I'm on my first BS and have been catching this sabotage cycle this week after starting out really strong. Knew of the cycle before but hadn't heard it be framed this way before - that even the positive things are my triggers is mind-blowing!

[Katielovesspookycrafts]

😢 OMG I needed this message. I have been losing weight, changing habits and all of a sudden I see the changes and they have been giving me anxiety. So glad to hear I am not alone. 😊😊😊😊

Hello beautiful! I have definitely found myself on that hamster wheel since 2010 when I initially started my journey of weight loss. I went through a different program. We’re on three different occasions I lost over 100 pounds and gained it all back due to self sabotage, I really appreciate the video today. Much needed. I rewound it a couple of times and what stood out to me was the section between 11 minutes through 14.50 minutes. I definitely will need to think through this and journal through this and I’m very grateful that you were able to share very specifically how to think about it in order to have a victory! You rock, Carla💃🏽💃🏽🔄🔄

[anncollins]

Loved this! You have such a gift Carla for voicing these things and explaining in way that really breaks through. I so appreciate you. ❤️

[Madina-bikd]

Awesome! I plan to listen to this video a few more times. I would be interested in more videos about the psychological aspects of weight loss. Thank you!❤❤❤

[NadoCrowFriend]

Brilliant! So very true! Thank you for this ~ I have found this to be exactly how change effects me too ( whether with weight loss, jobs etc. ) Many of us may also have past traumas that come to the surface when stressed by change, or other triggers. I know that I have hidden from “attention” for several years now- after a horrible divorce ~ It’s scary to let yourself be seen & admired again by men…. I’ll remember your points from this video as I continue on my weight loss journey. Thank you!

[nuclearchick]

♻️ Perfect timing, Carla. I have been struggling to keep going and finding myself craving a "good" binge evening on the couch. I haven't given in and luckily Gerard is in my head and getting me to continue on with my diet and walks😂! I would appreciate more videos on this topic if you have any more insights. Thank you for everything you do Carla.... aka my Brian(na) 😉.

[tamarunitamaruni]

It is interesting. It's like the attention or compliment made me aware of myself as existing through someone else's eyes... and that makes me feel foreign and then I eat to feel "familiar". Hahaha what is that!

[claudiagio]

This is so true, when you said we don't like to be the centre of attention, it makes me feel so uncomfortable! Bloody hate the questions 'what are you doing??' ' what's your secret??'
Sometimes I then have that ugly inner voice popping up in my head saying things like ' you don't really deserve it' 'you don't look THAT good' and other nonsense.🔄

[juliette]

Your words are spot on as they often are! For me I think my inability to lose the whole weight (70kg) was linked to the fact that I had put on that weight as a child and a teenager, I unconciously I didn't want to let go of something I had acquired at a young age because it would be proof that so much time had gone by. From 18 to this year (24) I maintained my weight without gaining more but without losing either. I think I held onto that weight like a child would hold onto his teddy bear, anyway that's how I interpret it. It's a very strange situation to be in. All these years I didn"t understand why I couldn't lose weight even though I had wanted to with all my heart for over a decade. I think I finally understood why and only became a fully grown adult this year.

[ak-hjxw]

This is incredible. I’ve been dealing with this for so long without being able to verbalize why was i triggered when someone would compliment me, instead of being motivated to continue. Thank you so much for this insightful video. Pleas make more like those!!

[cindycotter]

Carla, you are singing my song! Thank you so much for these videos. I'm learning new things about myself watching your videos. ❤
