Human beings are amazing creatures. We can have the
blueprint to success given to us, and because we don't
trust ourselves will go looking for something better - even
if it doesn't exist. This is especially true of people
trying to lose weight. This is readily evident when ask
someone who is overweight, "how long did it take you to put
on that weight?" Usually they'll just look at you funnily,
wondering what you're trying to get at. If you are looking
to lose weight, think about this question. What's the
answer for you? It's probably a number of years - isn't it?
So, think about this, if it takes a number of years to put
on that weight, then why should you expect to lose it all
in a few days?
The reason I say that is because if you have a look at what
is selling most in the weight loss industry, and the
products that are sold, a lot of them try and sell you
based on promises of very quick weight loss. The only
reason the clever companies are playing this angle is
because it is what people demand.
Unfortunately it's the desire for quick weight loss that is
often at the heart of the 'yo-yo' dieter syndrome, where
you don't end up losing any weight at all.
Let's say you find a crash diet that is all the rage.
Everyone on it seems to be losing weight. So you think, 'I
should give this a go, it'll work for me too.' So off you
go, changing your eating habits completely. All you have is
food from a very small strict range. The worst thing is,
because you've made such a drastic change from your long
term habits, it gets harder to keep up, the longer you try
to stick to the diet. You start to fight with yourself
internally. Soon enough its not just about the food. You
start to feel that your freedom is being taken away from
you by this diet, and you have massive urges and cravings
to break free.
You and I both know what happens next, you eventually get
to the point where you say, 'A small slice of pizza is not
going to hurt, I've been very good, and I'll be back on
this diet immediately after.' So you go and have that
slice of pizza.
But it doesn't stop there does it.
After you have one piece of that pizza, you think, 'Awwww,
another piece isn't going to hurt anyone.' Then the flood
gates open.
You have released your cravings and then you scour the
house for every piece of junk food you've been keeping from
yourself. Its all going down. And before you know it,
you're back to square one.
What was the problem then? The problem was when we decided
to go on the diet, it was a temporary adjustment, it was
never made with an intention of making this a habit.
Seriously, would any of the diets that are on the market
even exist if people thought about this before they decided
to start that diet? The facts are that it took long term
habits to put that weight on your body. Right there, your
own body has given you the exact blueprint of how to lose
it.
You have to form new habits, but this time, these habits
have to allow you to reach and maintain your ideal weight.
Its not rocket science, no matter what the latest gadget or
miracle cure is promising. It comes down to you. If you
want to use one of the latest products in the market, fine,
use it. Just don't fall for the idea that you're going to
lose weight on a permanent basis because of the gadget. Use
the gadget to form lifestyle habits that not only help you
to lose weight, but keep the weight off. That way you boost
your self esteem while you lose the weight, cause you did
it, not some product or service. That's the secret to long
lasting weight loss.
