Summary
There is a legit problem that keeps many people from reaching their fat loss and fitness goals. Actually, there are two major problems:
Making excuses
Lying about our options to make ourselves feel better.
I know, that sounds strong. But we're so used to telling ourselves that we're "doing our best" and we don't ever really stop to consider whether or not that's even true. 99% of the time it is not true. Not even close to true.
If you want to make progress, if you want to break out of the cycle of self-sabotage, if you want to bridge the gap between knowing what you need to do and actually doing it, you've got to stop making excuses. In today's episode we're going to talk about specific strategies to help you break out of this cycle of unconscious self-sabotage so you can stop making excuses & start getting results.

| 0:00.0 | This is Primal Potential and I am your host, Elizabeth Benton. |
| 0:06.7 | Through education, motivation and implementation, we will bridge the gap between knowing and |
| 0:13.8 | doing so we can master fat loss naturally and help you reach your highest potential. |
| 0:21.5 | Let's get started. |
| 0:24.4 | Hello everybody and welcome back. |
| 0:26.8 | I am your host, Elizabeth Benton and I have not decided yet if this is going to be a regular |
| 0:33.2 | episode or one of the new mini-sodes because, quite frankly, I'm just not sure how long |
| 0:39.2 | I'm going to talk for. |
| 0:40.9 | There's been something coming up repeatedly with my one-on-one clients because I have |
| 0:44.7 | the opportunity to talk to them on the phone every single week individually but also in |
| 0:49.6 | the Fall Fat Loss Group and it's excuse making. |
| 0:54.3 | When I do this too, I am not pointing fingers but the reason I wanted to chat with you guys |
| 0:59.7 | about it especially as we go into the holidays is because excuses are most dangerous when |
| 1:06.6 | we don't realize they are excuses. |
| 1:09.7 | And what I am seeing more and more is that people aren't even aware of when they are making |
| 1:16.1 | excuses because they believe in their circumstances and they believe that they have no control over |
| 1:23.6 | their circumstances and so the excuse making looks kind of like lying to ourselves and |
| 1:30.8 | not even being aware of other options. |
| 1:33.9 | So this isn't a tough love episode, this isn't a rag on people episode, this is a real |
| 1:39.1 | practical strategic episode to help you become aware of when you're making excuses, when |
| 1:46.3 | they are really limitations based on immovable circumstances and when you're just letting |
| 1:52.4 | yourself off the hook. |
