END HOPE DIETING - FAST RESULTS & POSITIVE FOCUS
It is easy to understand the importance of diet and exercise to a weight loss plan. What is not as obvious is the importance of making big changes and a positive outlook.
The truth is if your efforts do not create fast and noticeable changes and you are allowing your head to fill with negative thoughts you will likely quit.
Let’s talk about Speed:
Losing weight fast is a powerful motivator, you probably already know that, but did you know that this fact is backed up by research?
Researchers looking into what makes people change their behaviors found that:
“radical, sweeping, comprehensive changes are often easier for people than small, incremental ones. For example…people who make moderate changes in their diets get the worst of both worlds: They feel deprived and hungry because they aren’t eating everything they want, but they aren’t making big enough changes to quickly see an improvement in how they feel, or in measurements such as weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol.” Alan Deutschman, “Change or Die”
And with the rapid improvements people’s motivation grew as they felt that “these are choices worth making.”
Now let’s add a Positive Focus:
When you combine strategies for fast weight loss with strategies for creating a more positive mindset about your body and your weight, the weight loss that you achieve lasts! You find that your desire, belief, commitment and self-worth explode and at this point you are becoming unstoppable!
But there is one more key element that you must include to get permanent weight loss results. Tomorrow I will give you the last piece of the puzzle – Family and show you how you can easily get the supportive community you need to bust through barriers and make this weight loss happen.
Success is a great feeling!
Please share your thoughts below and let’s make this a conversation. We can help each other end this problem.

PLS HOW CAN I DECIPLINE MY SELF

Maarufah,
There are many ways you can discipline yourself to lose weight and they do not have to be hard.
Start by doing two things:
1. Record what you eat in a food journal. It is hard to overeat when you must be accountable and write it down.
2. Eat mindfully. Slow your pace, take time to look at your food, notice it’s aroma, how it tastes…do this everyday and you will start to build your control and discipline around food.
Keep it simple.
