We start a weight Loss program and with all the best intentions in the world most of us fail. But don't get disheartened because I'm going to give you a few ideas which might just help you in your quest to lose those pounds. Get nice and comfy in your chair and read on.
Habit plays a vital part in almost everything you do. Repeat something often enough and it becomes easy, in other words it becomes a new habit. It's the same with dieting and exercise, if you take a walk at roughly the same time each day it feels natural and it's not such a chore. When you repeatedly go to the supermarket and search out fresh fruit and low calorie foods it will become normal to your shopping pattern.
Repetition helps to program your mind and it's the same with dieting, get into the habit of doing something different to your normal routine and it makes it positive to your new way of thinking. If you can 'Think Thin' you're on your way to success. Shake off the 'old you' and watch the 'new you' emerge.
If you write down what you want to achieve and treat it as a goal it will help to keep you focused. Writing it down has the effect of embedding it in your mind and without getting too heavy this is where your subconscious mind picks it up. Think of your subconscious as your store room for your habits, after all you don't have to think which shoe lace to tie first, and subconsciously you will always tie them in the same order. Think about that and see if I'm right. Get into the habit of eating healthy foods and it will happen: Just try it.
Here's a thought for you: Like most people you probably have some eating 'Triggers'. For instance: When you sit and relax in the evening and watch some TV how many of you reach for the chocolate or candy or some other snack. You're not really hungry, it's not meal time but the action of sitting down with the TV is a trigger. If you go into a bar with friends think about the packets of potato chips, or nuts. The action of sitting down to relax with a drink is a trigger. Walking past the doughnut store or popcorn machine with that lovely sweet smell is a trigger. See what I mean? These are your eating triggers. I'm not saying don't watch TV and never go into a bar, what I am saying is: be understanding of why you eat between meals and the negative effect it can have.
While I've got you in the mood for thinking, try this for size: Your child makes a great effort with the homework or your pet dog can do a really cool trick. What's the incentive? A treat well earned. So to help with your weight loss program why not reward yourself? Set a target, for example if you lose 3 lbs, buy yourself that DVD you've seen advertised, then set another target. You'll be surprised how that can drive you forward. You'll enjoy achieving the target because of the reward. Give it a try. Remember, step by step and you'll get there.
