Pull the rubber band to touch a certain point & it will take force to keep it there
It always snaps back
When it does it lands further back than where it started
You’ll tap the point faster this way
But if you want to stay at that point you must use another way

Instead of tapping a point and using mountains of force to hold yourself there
To stay there we must gradually move the entire rubber band to sit upon that point
Making it our default position instead of one we must force ourselves to stay in

drastic methods to lose weightYou’ll tap the point of lower weight
But at what cost?
- Metabolism Slowed Down
- Intense Cravings & Mood Swings
- Not sustainable eating plan requiring force
Try to maintain it...
& Metabolism gets slower, meaning you need to eat even less
this is equivalent to the hand giving outIt can’t hold the rubber band at that point forever
The longer you try to hold it the more fatigued you become in trying to hold on
Eventually it gives out
You go flying back & end up worse then where you started
But there’s also another major factor few people discuss
Identity
As they say “easy come easy go”
When you gradually build your thoughts & beliefs
Your identity catches up to reality in harmony

If you lose tons of weight in a month
Your identity has a natural lag
Your core identity would still resonate, vibrate at, be in tune with not being a fit person
“As you believe so shall be done onto you”
When you gradually build the identity has time to grow like a tree

Going back to the physical definition
We must gradually inch the rubber band
Instead of doing something you know you won’t stick to long term
Make subtle tweaks, until they become effortless, then more subtle tweaks
Changes is subtle
But on social media it looks drastic

Losing weight Example
- Simply replace one of your meals each day with a healthier version, something you actually enjoy
- Add 20 minutes of walking
“That’s too easy?!?”
Good so you’ll do it
Once those are effortless default habits
Tweak again

Tweak again
Up it to 40 minutes of walking
Make 2 meals a healthier version you still totally enjoy.
Leaving around 400 calories for a treat at the end each day
Again, something you’ll stick to, make it too easy
Over time as your identity also follows you’ll be surprised...

You could get ice cream
But you choose a dark chocolate bar or fruit bowl
The key is adding slight amount of discomfort. Minimal willpower to do it, until habit, then add more

Making it your default baseline, the house you live in
