If you’ve read anything on LinkedIn, social, or the news lately you’ve likely heard the term “quietly quitting”.
It involves reducing your enthusiasm for doing your work and offering the bare minimum in terms of effort in completing tasks. There’s no going above and beyond to be exemplary, innovative, or helpful other than doing the job you’re paid to do. It typically occurs when someone feels burned out or unappreciated.
This is exactly what I see my clients doing when it comes to taking care of themselves and truly working toward changing their body composition.
They are “quietly quitting” on themselves!
When things get hard, and when it comes to weight loss, it will get hard, they start to quit.
When their weight loss stalls, they think what they are doing isn’t working and start to quit.
When there doesn’t feel like enough support or appreciation from their family, they start to quit.
When things get boring and monotonous, they start to quit.
And if they’re doing weight management the outdated way (which is 90% of programs out there), women will feel burned out from trying so hard with minimal results they quietly quit.
To change your body composition, and relationship with food, and address your health, you’ll need to do more than the bare minimum. You’ll need to make it epic…But not exhausting epic. There’s a difference.
You’ll need to be innovative and try something new from what you’ve done in the past. Which can feel uncertain and scary but is typically what you need to create massive change.
You’ll need to have desire and enthusiasm for the healthy body you’re about to create. You must love her more than you love the immediate gratification of whatever food, drink, or distraction is currently in front of you.
You’ll need an updated, scientific way of weight management. One that doesn’t burn you out the first thirty days.
And most importantly you’ll need to decide to never “quietly quit” on yourself. Because quitting is a choice you make.
In the SHED we don’t quit.
Not on ourselves or each other.
