Are you “trying” to lose weight?
If so, stop right now — because trying doesn’t work.
Sounds strange coming from a platform that supports women’s weight loss, right? But here’s the thing: you can’t try to lose weight. You either commit and take action — or you don’t.
Let’s break it down.
The Illusion of “Trying”
Pick up a pen, a book, or anything near you. Now try to pick it up.
You either did it… or you didn’t.
There’s no such thing as trying to pick something up. You either take action or you don’t.
The same principle applies to weight loss.
When you say, “I’ll try to lose weight,” what you’re actually doing is giving your brain vague, uncertain instructions. And your mind responds in kind — with vague, uncertain effort.
Why Language Matters in Weight Loss
Your subconscious mind doesn’t interpret intentions.
It acts on your exact words. When you say, “I’ll try to lose weight,” your brain interprets it as optional — something you’re not fully committed to.
That’s why people who constantly say they’ll try often find themselves:
Procrastinating
Making excuses
Falling off the wagon
Instead, say, “I will lose weight.”
Give your brain a clear, specific outcome. Visualize it. Feel it. Believe it.
Change Your Mindset to Change Your Weight
If you’ve been struggling for years and feel stuck, the problem may not be your diet or exercise routine — it may be your internal beliefs.
Ask yourself:
Do I believe losing weight is too hard?
Do I think I’ll fail like I have before?
Am I afraid of attention or judgment if I change?
These mental blocks often create invisible resistance that sabotages your efforts — no matter how good your intentions.
Rewire Your Beliefs With Positive Affirmations
Here’s what to do instead:
- Replace “I’ll try” with “I will” or “I am.”
Use clear, positive affirmations like:
“I’m happily at my ideal weight of ___ pounds.”
“I confidently choose to wear a size ___.”
Visualize yourself achieving your goals. See yourself healthy, energetic, and proud.
Speak with certainty, not doubt.
Over time, this will rewire your subconscious mind to align with your true desires.
Commitment Creates Change
Your results will match the level of commitment and consistency you bring to the table.
Be deliberate with your self-talk.
Avoid “try,” “maybe,” and “we’ll see.”
Stay consistent in both thought and action.
You’ve got this. Not because you’re trying — but because you’re doing.
Trying isn’t enough. Doing is everything.
When you shift from passive intention to deliberate action — and support it with clear, empowering language — your body follows your belief.
So don’t try to lose weight.
Decide. Believe. Do.
