If you find yourself in a constant weight loss struggle there are things you can do starting today to end this fight. Those who struggle with their weight think and act differently than those who successfully manage their weight and you can learn this new way of thinking and acting. This article will show you how to end your weight loss struggle.
Do you ever wonder how some people seem to manage their weight easily while others (possibly yourself) seem doomed to fight their weight for the rest of their lives? Is the difference in their IQ, better genes or just plain luck? Nope...The difference is in the way they think.
We are so caught up in how much food to eat, what type of foods to eat and when to eat that we forget to think. Now I am not saying that your eating habits aren't important but I am saying that if you feel like you are living under this constant cloud called DIET then you need to rise above it and get a fresh perspective.
Here are three of my client's favorite ways to stop struggling with dieting and start seeing steady results on the scale.
1. Eat mindfully. It is so easy in this hectic world we live in to eat too much without even being conscious we are doing so. This causes us to eat too many calories and sets us up for a constant battle. The remedy is to learn to eat mindfully. There are different ways to go about this but one I would like to share with you is to eat with all five of your senses.
Do an experiment, the next food item you eat, eat it with all 5 of your senses. So I want you to look at the food, then notice any aroma it has, when you bite into it notice if it makes any noise, note it's texture inside your mouth and lastly note the taste. This simple exercise makes you aware of what and how much you are eating.
2. Uncover your true motivation. So often we lose touch of why we originally wanted to lose weight, then when we are hit with stress we see no good reason to stick with our diet. By taking about 15 minutes you can create a list of reasons you want to lose weight, keep writing reasons down until the 15 minutes are up. By doing this you will likely uncover some very heart-felt reasons you want to change and these reasons will become your motivation.
3. Stop negative thoughts before they have time to grow. This is key. It is important for you to know that everyone has thoughts of quitting when they are on a diet, it is what you do with these thoughts that determines your outcome. When you hear those inevitable thoughts telling you to quit, say CANCEL and switch your thought to a positive. If you don't do this you will continue to let the thought grow inside of you until its temptation is too great and you give in to it.
Losing weight is a challenge but you can rise above the weight loss struggle when you learn to eat mindfully, find your true motivation and control your negative thoughts.
