We all get tired of that line, don't we? Every single one of us which needs to slim down, well we do have the desire, we just can't transition that desire into the reality. Actually many of you have started on that diet, once, twice or just keep on counting. But after a while...
So, frustration, anger, depression... you keep asking yourself, where did it all go wrong?
A New Pattern Of Behavior
Ask any doctor how many of his patients who lost weight managed to keep it off. The figures are dismal. Actually you don't even need all the fingers on just one hand. Less than 3% of the attempts have led to actual results.
So what's going on here. Why is it so hard?
The problem, whether you were actually successful and lost the weight or if you just got stalled somewhere in the process and gave up, always points right back to the same thing - bad old habits.
The only magic ingredient in a successful dietary program is a lifestyle change. Learning to break old habits, which made you gain weight to begin with, and replace them with new habits, which allow you to achieve the slim and trimmer you, is the only magic ingredient you must master.
So achieving and maintaining your new goals does require a few changes. But there is one number one new change every successful weight loss program does require. Every person I know which has become a success story all confirms the same thing- they have become a more conscientious consumer.
So what does that mean to you, the beginner?
Get started and clear away all of the junk foods in your daily environment. Your home, car, desk at work or locker. Whatever and wherever your normal environment is clean it up.
Now this one can be surprising to many people though. Junk foods aren't just sodas, chips, cookies, candy, pies and the like. You also need to be concerned about packaged, processed, bagged and boxed selections you make at the grocery store. STOP reading those front package labels and read the back (or side). You need to find the ingredients and nutrition label.
Read that ingredient label. If you can't read or understand better than 1/2 the list, you are gaining weight from it. If it has any kind of artificial sweetener in it, you are gaining weight. Man's digestive system was not built to process artificial sugar. Your body doesn't know what to do with it so it stores it as fat. So the front label says it adds zero calories but do you think it's going to tell you it gets stored as fat anywhere on that box if you do eat it? Of course not, they wouldn't sell any if that statement was put on the box.
So the number one biggest change you can ever do for yourself is to become a more conscious consumer. Take the few necessary minutes to learn what is in every package you pick up and I promise you, as you become a smarter shopper you are also going to become a thinner shopper.
How did that happen? Because a smart shopper will not even put many of the selections they find in their cart after they become familiar with the information marked on that nutrition and ingredient label.
So, frustration, anger, depression... you keep asking yourself, where did it all go wrong?
