Dieting Strength

There are several factors in winning at weight loss Sometimes
the food isn’t the culprit, it’s your attitude Here’s a list
that will help you with your diet and exercise program and you
could even modify it to suit other goals
Take care of yourself You deserve the time it takes to
exercise Your family deserves a healthy member You deserve to
have a healthy life, feel good, and live a long time even if you
have to take time to exercise
Fear Diet fear? No, fear of change What happens when I get
thin? Will guys hit on me all the time? Or I might fail, again
Face your fears and tell yourself you can handle them Its easy
to maintain the status quo, change is hard You can do it
Forget the scale, eat healthy and exercise and the number on the
scale will find you Focus more on the way you live, what you
eat and what you do rather than a number on the scale
Face the facts, you have to eat If you are an alcoholic or
smoke, you can quit even though it may not be easy But you
can’t just quit eating all together Food is addictive and you
have to eat But what you eat, is a choice
We also are persuaded with images of people having a good time
eating You have to fight the social aspect of eating and remain
true to yourself and eat to survive, not survive to eat
You have to get the junk food out of the cabinet, but you also
have to replace it with good food to eat You are going to get
hungry and you are going to want a snack Instead of grabbing a
cookie, get an apple If you remove all the food so to speak,
then you might binge or feel deprived It’s not about any of
these things, it’s what you eat
When a routine snack time comes, you have to change what you
normally do Don’t take a break with the guys to get a drink and
snack Go for a walk – anything – just something different If
you are at home, play with the kids, dogs, or yard work Change
your routine snack time to distract your urge to snack
You have to exercise You don’t have to LIKE to exercise, but
you have to exercise Eating less can take you so far, but our
bodies weren’t made to sit on the couch all the time Make
exercise a routine in your day just like taking a bath and going
to work
Change your reward system If you are doing great, don’t get a
cookie Buy something Set a goal If money is tight, give
yourself extra time to do something you enjoy (besides eating)
You must have small goals to obtain and a reward system of
anything other than food
Do it for you Don’t let others tell you that you need to be a
size 6 to fit into society Do it because you want to live
longer, walk a flight of stairs without gasping for air, or just
to look younger Its about you, not your husband or parents or
friends Make the change for a better you You can do it!
