Getting the mind right for weightloss

Being overweight is an ongoing battle. You've pushed yourself through diet after diet and the times you've lost weight you soon put it back on faster than you got rid of it (and isn't it strange how you always put a bit more on then you started with).

We spend our entire life focusing on "the right diets" and "the right exercise" and in the end we always end up falling back into our old habits. So why even bother? Is it really worth it?

You had better believe it! Once you get there it's worth every second of the effort.

The frenetic search for the right diet and exercise blinds us from the real reason why we're overweight. Of course it’s important to know how to live a healthy lifestyle but you will never be able to reach your goals if you don’t find the cause of your problem.

If you recognise yourself, I can tell you that the problem is in YOUR MIND.
Until you’ve got your mind right there is no way you will ever get into that old dress of yours, forget it! Get your mind right.

What happens to us in the past affects our self-image, thoughts and self-discipline. Distorted thinking will ruin your self-image. We need self-discipline that will overcome compulsive, obsessive behavior and there are fabulous and workable methods of dealing with cravings and negative thoughts. Self-confidence and determination are often at a low after another failed diet. So how do we fight cravings? With self-encouragement!

Now, we all can’t afford Oprah’s favourite, Dr Phill to sort us out can we?
But we can now help ourselves.

I first read "Eating in Freedom", by Tom Mc Gregor about six or seven months ago and the changes that have occurred in me have been remarkable. I would recommend it to anyone who has ever been on a diet. Download your own copy, it's only a lifechanging 15 bucks!StumbleUpon My StumbleUpon Page
