Listen to yourself and notice any self-doubting. Why do you do stop yourself from reaching your dreams and goals? What are you afraid of? Do you feel you don’t deserve it? That you don’t deserve the body or happiness that you desire. You might feel comfortable right now, because that is what you know, but you are still unhappy. YOU NEED TO BELIEVE YOU DESERVE IT.
Are you scared to be thin? Do you feel out of your comfort zone?, and how things will be different?. You have to claim what you want out of your life. You have to define how you want to live your life.
