Until you feel like you need that extra bit of help to overcome your weight issues, there are some things you can do yourself to start the process of educating your mind to benefit your body.
Positive thinking
If your weight is getting you down..think like the wieght you want to be.
Have you noticed how some people can eat just one slice of cake or chocolate and leave the rest for later?
How do they do that? Is it willpower or do they just think thin?
You may feel the desire to eat is too strong. You know it's bad for you but the feeling that you know the food will give you is irresistable. You know you'll feel guilty but right now the food is all that matters.
Naturally healthy people tend not to think like that. They are more likely to look at a cake and imagine how they'll feel after eating it rather than during. Thinking this way means you enjoy your food more because you make the decisions - not the addictive drive to eat.
It will make you feel better about yourself, help weight loss and improve your physical and emotional health.
Educate your mind.. to benefit your body.. |
The more strongly you focus on anything in life before attempting it, the more likely you are to follow through. Many people try to become slimmer but they have no game plan. They know what they want to achieve but have no real idea how to get there. So they plunge in blind and the lack of a strong result can be de-motivating.
Your mind can only achieve goals when a clear blueprint is established. You can become slim when your brain has envisaged being slim and fit. This will empower not only your conscious efforts but also your unconscious mind which enables you to take effortless action and makes healthy living feel natural and easy.
Eating when bored!
How easy is it to eat when you don't even think about it?
It's far too easy to notch up the calories by eating when you are bored. Maybe the afternoon is dragging at work or looking after the kids starts to feel routine. Maybe you just feel generally understimulated and eating acts like a fix?
Boredom eating happens because we all need satisfying things to do; projects that have a beginning, middle and end. We are rewarded with a sense of completion when we finish a task - even if that task is eating cookies, chocolate or three slices of toast.
Boredom eating tends to happen half consciously - you don't even think about it as you absent-mindedly pick at food - giving your mouth, stomach, digestion and fat cells something to do. This boredom eating then just becomes habitual.
To stop boredom eating means to be liberated from the need to eat merely because you have the time to do so (rather than the physical need). When your unconscious mind becomes programmed to identify boredom times and solve the problem more creatively, then boredom eating naturally evaporates.
When you stop boredom eating you instantly and effortlessly start to lose weight because all that unnecessary food is no longer being consumed. You eat only when your body needs it. This change in association is best done through the use of hypnosis but if you can educate your mind to distinguish between eating because you want to and eating because you need to then you will start to see real results fast.
Healthy cooking
Lasting weight loss comes easy with a healthy lifestyle, and not from short-term unnatural dietary restrictions or 'diets'.
To make a successful and lasting change to the way you eat, your body needs to start requesting from you the sort of foods that are good for you and will lead naturally to the maintenance of a healthy weight.
Expand your experience of food types, cooking more carefully for yourself, avoiding fast food or other alterations to your lifestyle.
The place where you have most control over what you eat is in your own kitchen and that is where you can have the biggest impact on your weight loss aims.
If you have been in the habit of eating the same foods for a long time, cooking a restricted menu (or not cooking at all), getting into the habit of cooking for yourself and your family in a healthy way can be a bit of a leap.
With a little experimentation and creativity from yourself, you will make a bigger change to your health and wellbeing than any other you can make.
