Corporations make millions on diet plans for one main reason: they don’t work. Their biggest ploy? Make you fear. “I have to diet!” No you don’t. Weight loss is not about the reduction of fat. It is about the entire body finding balance. That means not only the loss of fat, but gaining muscle and eliminating fear and depression. Diet creates fear. Fear creates instability. Instability causes the human mind to grab for its first line of defense against the pain. In many cases that is the Grande Latte followed by three blueberry scones. Oh that’ll fix it right up!
If you expect to lose weight and keep it off by dieting alone, you already lost the battle because you are seeing it as a battle in the first place. New thinking must be gained in the same way you update you’re your computer with Windows automatic updates or a driver download. Windows updates work because they are not panic mode. They just happen on a regular basis and they cover everything.
People who consistently keep their bodies healthy are the ones who never have to diet. They break a sweat daily. Exercise creates chemicals in the body that promote happiness. Healthy people eat what they eat as a lifestyle and they look at themselves in the mirror and actually see someone they like. Improving the way you see yourself and literally loving who you are will automatically kick in habits you never thought you could maintain.
You are looking for a tool to get you there, correct? Here are your first two steps. Look your fears and deal with them head on. Not fears of being overweight but all your fears. Second step: once you begin to see the fears you will also see the obsessions that the fears created. You will likely realize the obsessions are more dangerous than the underline fears.
