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.

• Diets don't teach you anything about sustainable habit change or personal transformation, which is key to achieving sustainable weight loss.

• Diets also don't teach you the coping skills you need when you are experiencing personal crisis which is when you experience a relapse into old eating habits, patterns and behaviours.

We need to be able to move beyond those learned behaviours and create sustainable habit...

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...

I was honored to be invited to speak with Lucia Peters last October 22, 2020 via Facebook live.

The talk is for women who lead their families and business with strength and wisdom and who want to connect with their amazing beautiful bodies, and embrace all that they are by creating a life that they Love, with kindness resilience and strength.

I shared with her tribe about The 5 Biggest Mistakes Smart Women Make When They Have To Lose Weight & How To Avoid Them and Successfully Lose Weight Naturally.

While Lucia shared about how to understand the connection to dressing and feeling confident.

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.

Are you stuck in a continuous battle against weight gain?

Are you giving your everything to your weight loss program and diet but you just can’t stop eating!? And you end up crying? It's frustrating, isn't it?

If you’re like me, you’ve spent thousands of dollars, tried everything and thought there must be something wrong with you because no matter what you try, you’re bewildered why you find yourself right back where you started, every single time.

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.

I'm so ecstatic while listening to the podcast. I couldn't help it!

Thank you, The Project Kuwait Podcast, for having me on your show.

It feels great to be able to share my passion and what Dietless Living is all about.
Here is a quick snippet from the podcast

"Dietless Living focus on living instead of on dieting, because when we focused on what we want to achieve and what we want to do, we tend to make better eating choices for ourselves because you know, when we're eating our way through life, it's generally because it's something missing from our life.
