If you talk to anyone who is trying to start or stop doing something, most of them, if not all, would tell you how hard it is to let go of the old habits and start practicing new ones. And that is exactly what yo-yo dieting is all about. It's the relapsing back into old habits and the inability to start or stop doing something.

Sustainable weight loss is only achieved through sustainable habit change.

 

This is the main reason why diets don't work because they are not sustainable habit change; they just change your food.

Here are 5 things that you can do when you realize that you're painted yourself into a corner, and it's time to lose weight.

I remember for me, some of the times that I went on a diet, I was motivated by that moment where I realize that I'm overweight. We know we're overweight, but we don't understand how overweight we are because our mind is playing little tricks with us.

We have these times where we see a picture of ourselves or something happened and we go, "Oh my God! How did I get to be that big!" and we feel like we've painted ourselves into a bit of a corner in regards to our health and our weight. And we're not sure where to start because of that shock, that realization of just how big we've gotten and it hits that panic button for us and we're not sure what to do.

Most people just jump straight in and find the first calorie-restrictive diet, they can get their hands on. And they usually join a boot camp or a gym or something but those are really short-lived plans becau...

How long have you been on a diet? 5, 10 or maybe 20 years?

How many things have you tried and how many of them worked and for how long?

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result, isn’t it?

But it doesn’t feel like you’re doing the same thing over and over, does it?

All the eating plans, detox’s, exercise programs, cleanses, the different styles of eating and wellness programs, they all feel like they’re new and different…but they all lead you right back to where you started.

We hear so many suggestions from our family, circle of friends, and advertisements splashed across all social media, different ways to lose weight.

"Take this pill"

"Enroll in the class

"Do this exercise"

Or "try this liver detox" and many more

But unless they teach you how to get a handle of your unconscious eating habits, patterns, and behaviours and get to the primary cause of your weight problems, you will end up right back where you started.

Do you know someone who has had to resort to gastric band surgery to lose weight, or maybe it's you? And even though you've had the surgery, you're still overconsuming calories?

To step into your most extraordinary life with choices freedom and control you have to master your unconscious eating habits, patterns, and behaviours.

Do you know one of the most little known phenomena is that when we lose weight our unconscious mind secretly wants us to return to being overweight again?

The self-criticism and low self-worth don't change just because you lose weight and the thoughts that drove your eating habits, patterns and behaviours are what drive you back to being overweight again.

The key to sustaining change is learning the skills to master your inner critic and re-build and develop greater confidence and self-worth, learning how to love yourself no matter what.

“It’s ok, I can eat whatever I want/smoke cigarettes/drink too much alcohol because I’m fit from all the exercise I do”

Do you know anyone who says that? Or maybe it’s you that says that?

There is a common misconception among people that if you are living a healthy life, exercising and eating healthy foods, it's okay if you cling to your bad habit. Unfortunately, you can’t out-exercise a bad habit.

Don’t wait any longer, now is the time to get rid of your bad habits and live your life with choices, freedom, and control.
