What to do when you feel like giving up!
Check out this week’s blog post below as Aisling Connolly is joined by Maebh Coyle to talk about what to do when you feel like giving up. Maebh has written on this topic before – check it out here.
Giving up is not a unique phenomenon to weight loss or weight management. It can occur in many aspects of our lives, our careers and our families. You name it, giving up will feature. But we can make choices with giving up; do we accept it or do we do something about it.
Many of our clients would express giving up as hitting a dead end when in reality it’s just a bump. We tend to find that the root cause can be traced to myths and stories that are often developed in childhood. The net result is that we may well have limited beliefs in our own ability to succeed.
Another key point when it comes to giving up is not to focus on the end goal but to take stock of the day-to-day benefits you are now experiencing. Not long after stating one of our weight loss programmes you will have increased energy levels, better sleeping patterns and better moods. As important as the end goal is, it can sometimes suffocate us if we feel that things are not going as well as they should.

For this month’s podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Caroline, a client of our Swords Clinic and a wonderful example of how a positive mental attitude can benefit us, regardless of how difficult our situation is.Caroline had breast cancer in 2018 and went through a challenging time. She began gaining weight as a result of two operations, rigorous chemotherapy and radiation, and the treatment with medication.Do you think this prevented Caroline from having a proactive and optimistic attitude? Absolutely not! Caroline is a fighter and her journey will inspire you to beat whatever obstacles you may experience. Speaking with Caroline made me realize that when we’re going through a difficult moment, negative thoughts are all we can see and we often neglect our own wellbeing, while in fact, being active and optimistic may help us clear our brains and keep going.I hope you enjoy my chat with Caroline! Her story has truly inspired me, and I am sure she will inspire you too.
What an emotional story we have for you in the latest podcast. Elaine, who did an incredible job losing 3 stone, 4 pounds. She was close to having to get a hip replacement, facing serious surgery she instead decided to take control of her eating, once and for all. Focusing not on what she was eating, but why she was eating. She improved her health to the point where she has been able to come off medication and doesn’t need to have the surgery anymore. It is people like Elaine that make what we do worthwhile and we think you will agree that her story is an emotional rollercoaster that just grabs you.
