How is Your Weight Loss Plan Going?

How is Your Weight Loss Plan Going?
So...How's is your Weight Loss Going? I don't pose this
question to bring on frustration or discouragement but
rather to get them to take a step back for a minute and
remember the basics. When approaching fitness it is
essential to remember that our bodies are amazing and the
majority of the time they stay in perfect balance.

The average American gains 1.5 lbs.of fat a year. That
calculates out to an excess of 5,250 calories for the year
or an extra 14.38 calories per day! This means that that
one last bite at dinner, if it is one bite too much, really
does add up!!! The point is physiologically speaking our
bodies are smart and function exactly how they should.
What ever form we are right now results mostly from our
life style and habits or in essence how we are "training"
our bodies' everyday. The definition of insanity is to do
the same thing over and over again expecting different
results. If we want a different outcome then we have to
make some changes!!

Why do we do what we do? It is important to change our
habits, but before we can be effective in making that
change permanent, it is essential to evaluate the core of
our being and analyze our belief system. Everybody does
everything for a reason. If we can alter our belief system
and change the way we think that will result in a change in
behavior and a change in our habits.

For example: You get home late. You have been driving the
kids to and from school, to soccer and back home again, and
it has been a long day of running errands and finishing
work. You come home to a house that looks as if a tornado
has passed through. You are tired, worn out and just need a
little break. You go to the refrigerator and open the
freezer and you see the carton of ice cream screaming your
name. You reach in and grab the carton with a giant spoon
and you begin digging away. What is it about the ice cream
that you believe is going to help you feel less stressed?
There is something or you wouldn't have been eager to grab
that container. Many people turn to food as a comfort. I am
not saying we shouldn't enjoy food; it really should be a
pleasure in life but there needs to be a healthy balance.

It is when you become dependant on food that you are going
to over eat and think that food is the enemy and ultimately
develop an unhealthy relationship with food. We have to get
back to truth. Is food an enemy? Of course not... we would
not be living if it weren't for food. Is food going to
relieve our stress? Most likely not. It is only going to
distract us from the problem that we don't want to face.
Make sure your belief system is based on truth! Then begin
building your habits from there.
