Every year at about this time frustrated people around the
globe look in the mirror and take in the end results of
their holiday eating frenzy.
Maybe your waist is larger, or your hips are wider, or
maybe your New Year's resolve has fizzled.
So what do you do about the stubborn and seemingly
permanent fat?
Sink into a depression?
Well, the easiest thing to do is to throw a pity party.
Then before you know it your feelings of self pity begin to
snowball into a full blown case of the Stubborn Fat Blues.
How do you know if you have the Stubborn Fat Blues?
Your pants are tighter today than they were a year ago
You've tried to lose weight only to fail. You feel trapped.
You're close to giving up on yourself. If you can relate to
any of the above statements then you have the Stubborn Fat
Blues - quite an unpleasant condition to have.
Fortunately, there is a cure.
It all starts with your mind. The thing about the Stubborn
Fat Blues is that it affects your mind more than anything.
You see, your mental state is critical in determining your
shape and size. When you focus on all of the things that
you hate about your current body like the size of your
thighs, the shape of your butt, or the way your belly looks
then you're putting all of your energy on the negative.
The more you think about how unhappy you are, the unhappier
you will become.
Makes sense, right?
So instead of wallowing, use the following techniques to
conquer the Stubborn Fat Blues:
1. Take it one battle at a time. You may have 20, 50 or 100
pounds to lose before you reach your ideal weight - and,
boy, that can be overwhelming. The truth is that weight
loss like that won't happen overnight - it takes months of
dedication. It's no wonder so many people simply give up.
Don't worry about winning the entire war today, instead
focus on conquering one battle at a time. Take it one meal
at a time, and one day at a time. A healthy meal, a good
workout and you've won a battle. Remember, 100 pounds is
broken down into 350,000 calories. Sure, that sounds like a
lot, but all you have to do is focus on burning more
calories than you take in today - in the end weight loss
will be inevitable.
2. Use a trigger. How many times throughout your day do you
find yourself plagued with negative thoughts? I'm too fat.
I'll never look as good as I used to. I'm not attractive.
Yikes! Thoughts like these will ruin your chance at
regaining your figure - they are total momentum killers.
Here's what I want you to do. Whenever a negative thought
enters your mind instantly do the following:
Breathe out and squeeze your abs for 5 seconds - 3 times
Throw away any junk food within arms reach Plan to exercise
that day Make negative thoughts a trigger to take positive
action toward your goal - the results will amaze you.
3. See what you want. If you have weight to lose, mirrors
are a nightmare. Every lump and pouch seems to jump out
with alarming illumination. And it doesn't help that most
of us see things as worse than they really are.
When was the last time that you closed your eyes and
pictured the body that you wished you had? It may sound
hokey, but I'm serious. Your mind is very impressionable,
and when you bombard it with only the negative then you
will be stuck on that image.
Take time each day to visualize your ideal body. Close your
eyes and put yourself in that ideal body - feel what it
feels like to be fit and attractive. This exercise is a
powerful way to fixate your mind on your goal in a way that
will leave you no room for failure.
4. Get serious. Sooner or later you will decide that you
are fed up with the Stubborn Fat Blues. You will decide
that your health is important. You will decide that you
deserve to look great. And you will do what it takes to
achieve amazing results.
