| 0:00.0 | In the past, I have always set out with good intentions, but I end up sabotaging, self-sabotaging, so many people still waiting to get in. I have to keep pressing the admit button. Why does this happen? What can I do to avoid it? I feel like my willpower runs out and I end up with a fuck-it situation. I've got so many reasons to change. having a young daughter, I have a mum with Alzheimer's, |
| 0:21.7 | and there's a lot of evidence that having strong legs |
| 0:23.4 | reduces the likelihood I will get it. many reasons to change. Having a young daughter, I have a mum with Alzheimer's, and there's a lot |
| 0:22.1 | of evidence that having strong legs reduces the likelihood I will get it. Yet every time I don't make |
| 0:27.0 | it to the finish line, yet every time I don't make it to the finish line, I'm hoping that this is |
| 0:31.2 | the one when I change. Okay, so Caroline, there's so many different facets to this that I could |
| 0:37.0 | talk about. |
| 0:38.8 | So let me just see where I'm going to go with it. |
| 0:41.9 | I mean, I guess I can't tell you specifically what it is that will change you. |
| 0:50.0 | But here's what I have learned over the years from my own experience is that in the beginning |
| 0:54.9 | when you start out on a body sculpting journey, I'll give you my own personal experience first |
| 1:01.0 | and then I'll tell you what I have learned from coaching tens of thousands of women over all the |
| 1:05.4 | years. So for me personally, I used to be the same as you. I would have started a program. I would have decided that I wanted to get thin. So most of my programs that I ever, most of the transformations or diets or anything that I did before I started bodybuilding seriously, where it was all about getting thin. That was my goal. I just wanted to be thinner. I mean, of course I wanted to have muscles and I wanted to, you know, have sculpted |
| 1:27.5 | shoulders and I would love to have had a six pack, but everything that I did was really just about |
| 1:31.8 | being thin. How can I be thinner? And so I was super motivated to start a new diet or super |
| 1:37.1 | motivated to start a new plan and I would have, you know, downloaded these different books and |
| 1:40.2 | followed these diets online and bought programs and started them. But because my goal was to be |
| 1:45.8 | thinner, I never ended up sticking to them. And I'll tell you why. Because whenever you want to be |
| 1:54.7 | thinner, wanting to be thinner is generally driven by a feeling. You look in the mirror, |
| 2:00.5 | you feel fat. You put on your clothes, you feel fat. You put on your |
| 2:02.2 | clothes, you feel fat. You see a picture of yourself. You don't like it. You have a physical |
