Not Really! Just Teach Me Their Secrets
Considering that a huge proportion of our population is overweight, you probably have a friend or two that wants to lose weight too.
Partnering up to be “weight loss buddies” will significantly benefit BOTH of your progress. It also makes the habit changes you’ll be making easier since you’ll have someone to talk to who understands what you are doing.
Since you will be making lifestyle changes, it always helps to have a partner. For ideas, for support and for celebrating your success, a weight-loss buddy is key!
Manage Your Stress for Weight Loss
My 3rd secret to Super Simple Weight Loss is to manage your stress and emotions. Why? Because you want to avoid the dreaded “emotional (over)eating” syndrome!
Since one of the keys to The Super Simple Weight Loss Plan is to “eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full”, it is important NOT to eat for emotional reasons.
Eat only when you are hungry, I mean physically hungry, not emotionally hungry. If you are emotionally hungry, no amount of food will satisfy you. If you are really hungry, you will get full as you eat!
If you are emotionally hungry, you can do something besides eat. You could take a walk, listen to some music, call a friend, run an errand, do a hobby, play with the dog, meditate, exercise, or any number of non-food solutions.
Movement is a great way to satisfy emotional hunger. Click here for more information.
Watch Your (Weight Loss) Language
What kind of language do you use with yourself when talking about weight? The language you use makes a big difference to you success!
When I changed the words I use, my weight loss efforts became Super Simple.
Make your changes gradual. Remember your mind replaces one habit with another and it takes 21 days to create a new habit. So, practice, practice, practice …
Start with the following:
1. Replace the word DIET with the words MEAL PLAN.
2. Replace the words WEIGHT LOSS with the words WEIGHT RELEASE.
3. Replace the word EXERCISE with the word MOVEMENT.
That is a great start towards changing your attitude about your weight.
It's NOT Your Fault !!!
Do you blame yourself for being overweight? You are not alone! Blame is a normal reaction when you feel your weight is out of control.
But here is the REAL truth! You cannot lose the weight that you want to lose or have the body that you’ve always dreamed of unless you address the REAL issues that are holding you back, not just what you think is holding you back.
Unlike what you’ve been told for so long, it is NOT because you aren’t disciplined enough, or dedicated enough, or you don’t try hard enough or don’t really want to lose the weight badly enough.
None of that is true and it never was. There are hidden obstacles that have been holding you back all along and once you uncover them, you can have the perfect body that you’ve always wanted!
There is a great 8-hour audio series that shows you how to uncover your hidden obstacles to weight loss. It works in all areas of your life and has helped me so much. It is an amazing program. Find out more at www.FreeingYourInnerWinner.com.
