Weight Loss by default
Losing weight can seem
like an uphill struggle at times. You
battle with foods you can eat and foods
you can't. You resist your cravings for
chocolate and cake and cookies all day
only to give in while you watch TV in the
evening. You huff and puff at the gym for
two weeks or two months until finally you
just can't drag yourself there any more.
Sometimes you lose a load of weight with
a lot of hard effort only to hit a
plateau. And then you can't seem to shift
any more.
Finally you give up on whatever plan
you're on, relax for a bit and all the
weight comes straight back on. All that
effort for nothing.
Life should be easier than this. Why does
losing weight have to be so hard?
The answer is that we make it hard on
ourselves!
We want to lose weight and we want it now
and we think we're willing to do whatever
it takes.
But we quickly change our minds when the
rubber meets the road and we actually
have to follow that diet regime we signed
up for.
You could make the whole process much
easier by taking the automatic route.
The secret to losing weight automatically
is not by making big changes to your diet
or exercise routines. These routines
never stick in the long run because they
are way out of your comfort zone.
Yes, you may very well suffer them for a
week or two while your motivation to lose
weight is high but it takes iron
willpower to stick with them until you
lose all the weight you want.
And let's face it unless you stick with
them forever that weight all comes
straight back on doesn't it?
Because you go right back to the habits
you had before you went on your weight
loss program. The ones that caused you to
put all that weight on in the first
place.
No, the secret to losing weight
automatically is to make small changes to
your routines. Ones which will be barely
detectable to others - only you will
really know the difference. You make
changes like taking time to enjoy your
food more, moving a little bit more as
you go about your day, learning how to
deal with pressures from others to eat,
stopping eating whenever you're
satisfied. And before you know it you are
losing weight. Not only that but you have
habits which you can stick to for life
and which you'll never need (or want) to
change.
What small changes could you make today
which would mean that you eat a little
bit less and move a little bit more?
Could you live with those changes for
life? Then start right now to make them a
habit.
Habits are built by repetition and like
having a shower or brushing your teeth
become an automatic part of you without
having to think about it. To be slimmer
forever you simply need slimmer habits -
habits which keep your metabolism high
enough to deal with the amount you eat
over a period of time. That doesn't mean
that you can never over-indulge - it just
means that in your normal day to day life
you are using your slim habits and as a
result the odd huge meal or chocolate bar
really doesn't make any difference.
Why make it hard on yourself when this
can be so much easier?
