Weight loss resistance can be in your head
When one part of us wants to lose weight or regain health, and another part clings to food for comfort, freedom, or emotional safety — this isn’t laziness or lack of discipline.
It's weight loss resistance, coming from a subconscious conflict. And the subconscious always wins.
95% of thoughts, habits and behaviours are driven by subconscious beliefs.
If the subconscious associates weight loss with DEPRIVATION, DANGER, CRITICISM, REJECTION, OR LOSS OF IDENTITY…it will quietly, consistently undo the progress made by the conscious mind. Even if it’s only 20% of the mind’s voice — it has the steering wheel.
What Psych-K does differently is it helps reprogram limiting subconscious beliefs that are creating internal resistance — without needing to dig through years of emotional baggage, journal for months, rely on willpower, or repeat affirmations every day. It's like having a direct line.
It allows the mind and body to
Shift from self-sabotage to self-support by releasing unwanted fears and protective behaviours
Rewire beliefs like 'Eating healthily is boring and restrictive' to 'Getting to a healthy weight brings me more joy and freedom'
Replace trauma-based protective patterns with empowering ones
Align all parts of the mind behind the same goal
What That Feels Like Afterward
Less fight around food
Less all-or-nothing thinking
Fewer binges or breakdowns
More peace, clarity and trust in the process AND yourself
Better ability to stay consistent without willpower
Example Belief Shifts with Psych-K
'It’s safe to feel good in my body.'
'I can enjoy food and honour my health.'
'Losing weight doesn’t mean losing myself.'
'I trust my body to guide me.'
Yes, weight loss resistance can be physical, but it can be subconscious as well.
