subject: Why Weight Loss Diets Do Not Work? [print this page] If you have ever been on a diet you will be familiar with the following:
Calorie counting
Visiting online forums
Joining weight loss classes and support groups
Measuring your waistline daily
Weighing yourself obsessively
Exercising
Checking your BMI (and getting confused!)
The list could go on and on, but one thing is for sure - it didn'tlast did it? Yeah you may have lost a few pounds, maybe even a coupleof stone but sure as night follows day you put most if not all of itback on.
Now don't get me wrong, there are plenty of things in the list thatwill definitely help you shed pounds, but the reason none of it lastsis because something is out of whack.
Let's take a look at some simple' psychology, ask yourself this question:
When was the last time you wanted to lose something?Did you answer it? I mean it doesn't make sense does it? Do you wantto lose your job? Do you want to lose your wallet or purse? Do youwant to lose your friends or your house or your mobile phone or evenyour way? No. You don't like to lose' stuff - period!
We are programmed to Get' stuff.Get a new car, Get a wonderful partner, Get married, Get a great job,Get a million dollars etc.So what?So, maybe this whole losing' weight concept is backwards, maybeconcentrating on losing'' weight just goes against the grain, againstthe programming. Instead, maybe we should be focusing on Getting'fitter, Getting healthier, Getting a better shape, Getting happier,Getting ourselves down the gym or in the pool or on the sidewalkjogging or even walking - releasing those endorphins, allowing the
serotonin to flood out so we can get a better feeling about ourselves.
Here's my challenge to all those out there unhappy with their weightor shape - try refocusing on the positive Getting' and drop thenegative idea of weight loss'. Try it and see.
Start Eating, Start living and Start Getting what you want in this life!
