WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!

What are you thinking right now about your weight loss? The mental aspect is so very critical and yet its almost always over looked (except by weight watchers), how are you talking to yourself, what do you say when you have setbacks? You can do all the things you need to do to loose and if your not ding the “mental work” on your weight loss you will probably gain it back.

So, whats “the mental work”, good question. That’s your attitude for one, whats your attitude towards yourself and towards your weight? You need to stop kicking yourself and start giving yourself the occasional break when your your choices are not the best. Here are a few things to try.

1. Jot down negative thoughts when you have them, then you can begin to slow the thoughts down and examine there level of truth.

2.  Once your can isolate your thoughts do a simple “litmus” test, is that thought “true” am I stupid, lazy, good for nothing?

3. Change your approach to yourself, appreciate yourself and the work you are putting into this effort. Celebrate success’s and when “set backs” happen do not beat yourself up. Use the setback as a means of “learning” whats not working for you.

I know these seems simple on the surface but there a great way to start.

Have a great week!
