New Year – New Approach
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2009 | POSTED BY MICHELLE
Do diets work for you as long as you follow them but then something always trips you up? Does the onset of a new year make you feel obligated to embark on a big new weight loss regime? Do you hope this year will be different but fear it will be the same as past years? If so, you’re not alone. Before you try a new diet, start with a new approach. Here’s how:
Any sensible diet will work but only if you can follow it. It’s not that you don’t have the willpower. If you’ve been told that or believed that, it’s simply not true. There has always been a missing piece. The missing piece is that there are strong underlying emotional forces at work…strong feelings and powerful habits you may not even be aware of that sabotage even your best intentions. When you understand what these are, you’ll be able to stick to any eating plan you choose.
So, start this year with a K.I.S.S.-- Keep It Simple Sweethearts.
1. Select a straightforward eating and exercise plan that is realistic for your lifestyle. Picking something too extreme or rigid (no matter how many other people that plan might work for) often kicks up a person’s rebellious side.
2. Use your Shrink Yourself program to get clarity and understanding in the moments when you don’t want to follow through on the plan you’ve committed to. In studies of successful dieters, success was always increased exponentially by having some sort of emotional counseling or support. Since this is not financially possible for all people, Shrink Yourself gives you an affordable, easy and private way to address the inevitable emotional issues that dieting presents.
Some of you might be well aware what the emotional roots of your overeating are. It might be self-doubt. It might be that you use food for reward. It might be that you feel like food is your only source of true comfort for any number of reasons. Maybe that reason is grief, or loneliness or fear or frustration. If you’re still struggling with your weight or feel like food has control over you, chances are you haven’t yet unearthed the underlying emotional reason beneath your overeating.
But the good news is you can. This year can be different. Don’t try to get new results with an old approach. Try a new way. Take ten minutes and complete your Free Dieter’s Profile and uncover your own distinctly personal issues that have blocked your dieting success in the past. Do it now to begin to recover the power to stick to your diet and control your weight in 2010 and for all the years to come.
