Summary

Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks  - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I sit down with Sophie to get into something I've been wanting to talk about for a while — why complaining, victim mentality, and negative self-talk are actually what's keeping you stuck, and it has nothing to do with your circumstances being fake. I break down the difference between venting and enabling, why so many people have tied their identity to their limitations without realizing it, and what it actually looks like to acknowledge a hard situation and then do something about it anyway. If you catch yourself saying "I don't have time" or "I can't because of X" more than you take action, this one's for you. 90 Day Clubhouse Kickstart Program- https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html Free Calorie Calculator https://ericrobertsfitness.com/free-calorie-calculator/ Buy One, Get One 50% Off, Legion Athletic Supplements Code “ERIC” HERE https://legionathletics.rfrl.co/qj2dy Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@ericrobertsfitness Video Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@EricRobertsFitnessPodcast

0:07.5

And forewarning, there's probably going to be some cursing in the podcast.

0:11.8

So if you listen to podcasts with your children around, just either lower the volume or let them know that Uncle Eric might throw some cuss words out there today.

0:22.2

But we're going to be talking about, yes, how to not be a little bitch, which is one of my

0:27.1

favorite phrases and sayings that I tell myself personally.

0:30.3

But also, why complaining and negativity and pessimism are actually what's stopping you from not only reaching

0:41.1

your fitness goals, yes, but also all the goals in your life. And this is something that I am

0:46.4

passionate about and that I want to talk about so that you can live your best life and achieve

0:51.5

all the goals that you want to achieve. So that being said, we're joined by co-hosts Sophie, who is still getting her shit together.

So how are you self?

You know, I've had better days, but I'm good.

wedding.

1:23.8

And I'm in Miami and I forgot my passport in Orlando.

Like people like you just, you can't do anything about it now, man. And like there's no sense in being upset over it. There's no sense in beating yourself up over it. Like it just is what it is. So it's like we learn from it and what's the, what's the next best action we can take moving forward? Like, everything's not going to go our way all the time. So like we just have to, we just have to go forward, man. That's all. Yeah. No, I agree. You're right. We find solutions here. So we're good. Exactly. Yeah. You promise all we get done. How are you doing? I'm good, dude. I think I said on a previous podcast, but my grandmom did end up passing away. Actually, you know what's kind of crazy?
