“You will never lose weight if you don’t address this one problem,” she began. “It has nothing to do with diet or exercise, and most people don’t even know it’s a problem.”

Sterling explained that people often have an all-or-nothing attitude when it comes to their weight loss plans

“You wake up in the morning; You feel good,” she said. ‘You eat breakfast on plan, lunch on plan, dinner on plan and after dinner you walk into the pantry.

“You eat three bags of almonds, open a bag of Doritos and then you realize you’ve just spiraled out of control.

Sterling said that this is the time when most people start telling themselves that they “wasted the whole day” and that they “might as well start over tomorrow.”

“This is your default thinking, the first thoughts that your brain presents as the truth,” she said. “Choosing to believe such thoughts hurts and leaves you feeling disappointed, ashamed, and full of regret.”

Sterling explained that this type of thinking “causes you to make future choices about what to eat and what to do that day out of shame and regret.”

‘If you don’t know that standard thinking is taking place, you continue to make choices based on it. It will make you eat a lot more. It’s about distinguishing between what I did and what it means,” she concluded.

“Noticing and adjusting your default thinking is one of the best ways to change your mindset through weight loss,” she explained in the video’s caption.

‘The consistency pays off. “I’ve never strength trained more than 2-3 times a week and I’ve never tracked calories,” Sterling said of her 60-pound weight loss in a recent video

“Noticing and adjusting your default thinking is one of the best ways to change your mindset with weight loss,” she added.

Sterling’s video has been viewed more than 3.5 million times and received hundreds of comments since it was posted.

“It’s common among (perfectionists). It has to be perfect, otherwise I won’t try at all. During therapy I understood that perfectionism is bad for everyone,” one person responded.

“This is so true,” another agreed. “If I messed up on Monday, the whole week was ruined. I’m doing much better now.’

“Binge eating combined with growing up with an intense diet culture, hard to unlearn,” someone else added.

Sterling struggled with emotional eating and binge eating before changing her way of thinking about food.

In a recent one videoshe shared a throwback photo of herself from 2016, before she started her weight loss journey.

The footage then cut to a recent snapshot of her flexing at the gym, saying this is what she looks like after she “stopped overeating and started building muscle.”

‘The consistency pays off. I’ve never strength trained more than 2-3x a week and I’ve never tracked calories,” she wrote in the caption.

‘The secret was healing my diet mentality, not obsessing about my weight and reconnecting with my body. This was not a quick process. But damn, it was worth it.

‘The inner work was worth much more to me than the outer results. But I like to feel strong!’ she concluded.
