Worse than most swear words, the dreaded "D" word conjures up thoughts of loathing and failure in the minds of many people? Is it through expensive and painful experiences that we now know that in many cases diets just don't work?
An alternative is to decide to change your lifestyle and open a new era in your life. One which will be the secret to your success in achieving your health and fitness goals.
Some people are addicted to eating. But giving up eating like a smoker gives up cigarettes is not an option. Giving up cigarettes altogether is not easy but cutting down can be much harder than giving up altogether. With food you don't have this option. You either eat or die. So if food addiction is your problem, you need to find a different solution. One possibility is by changing how you view food.
With most diets little is done to change the way we see food which is probably the reason why they often fail. In fact most diets have good food, bad food, and the thou-shalt-not foods. Those that usually taste the best! No wonder diets often make people feel punished or deprived. And who wants to take on something that makes you feel like that?
Further punishment follows as we are very harsh with ourselves when we fail to stay on the straight and narrow diet path. The result is that we feel guilty and a failure every time we err. We slowly sink back into our old ways and then eventually give up altogether.
What is needed for real success is a complete lifestyle change. In this way you will be able to lose weight, improve your health and get fit but without the angst so many dieters suffer with each failure.
You need to write down a a plan with clear and specific goals. Keep it tough but with realistic steps for fitness, reducing weight, and eating a healthy diet. Start simply and even with small goals like eat 5 fruit and vegetable helpings a day and walk for 15 minutes will be an excellent start.
Change how you look at food and slowly your way of eating will also change. You will experience stunning changes in your your level of fitness, your body and your health. As your fitness level starts rising and the weight starts dropping off you will have more energy and exercise will become more enjoyable. Success will build motivation and you will be encouraged by your progress.
Losing the first few pounds is difficult but maintaining this weight loss over the long term is even more challenging. The vital ingredient when making lifestyle changes is to never give up. Take each day one at a time. Accept that on occasional days you will go off the rails, but just put it behind you and start afresh the next day.
Most dieters have experienced many dieting failures. However it isn't failure when you are getting positive results out of each small positive change. You are on a long term mission and it may take many months to achieve your goals. If you are doing the best you can and making progress, reward yourself as you will deserve it.
