We can trawl through endless advice and ideas on dieting, much of which is valid and useful. Some people will take the information and act upon it. These people will yield their desired weight management results. And yet, there are so many people out there who just cannot seem to succeed. What on earth could be going on?
Well, something that is often not addressed at all in weight management/loss programs is the mindset of the person. I don't want to go into this here and now, but so often people tell themselves that (despite being on a diet) they 'deserve' the cake, or it's just a 'treat', one 'won't hurt' and so on. They are making these foods which are not good for you into 'treats', things to 'deserve'! Don't you think you 'deserve' to treat' your body to some natural nourishing food? Something that is actually good for your body and mind? I do.
I know this is a short post, but my main reason for writing it was to share a quotation from a book with you. One that made a difference to me anyway. Read it, think about it. Read it more than once if necessary but do take it in...
"Here is a rich man who is the victim of painful and persistent disease as the result of gluttony. He is willing to give large sums of money to get rid of it, but he will not sacrifice his gluttonous desires. He wants to gratify his taste for rich and unnatural foods and have his health as well. Such a man is unfit to have health, because he has not yet learned the principles of a healthy life". ~ James Allen
So, what changes can you make to your attitude towards 'unnatural foods' that would help you to lose those excess lbs? I'm sure there are several.
You can do it! :)
