some reasons people sabotage their new lifestyles

I see these posts time and time again. People are going along for a week or two just fine, then bam a party comes up or the weekend hits, and everything is thrown out the door, and all the progress made is for nothing. Here's some reasons why For many people who set out to lose weight they narrow their focus to what to eat and how to exercise but they leave out one very key ingredient that is how toTHINK!. If you want to lose weight and not sabotage your efforts and put the weight back on then I encourage you to take a couple of minutes to read on and discover how you can learn to think differently and make losing weight a total success.

1. Their reason for eating healthy ends. Many people are so focused on reaching their goal that once it is reached they find there is no motivation to go on. In order to keep the weight off you want to develop a mindset that includes leading a healthy lifestyle for years to come.

2. Stay focused on the positive. It is easy to get overwhelmed with weight loss and this can lead to sabotage. In order to keep weight off you will want to train your brain to focus on all of the good and positive things that losing the weight has brought into your life. This builds your motivation and appreciation for all your efforts.

3. Not being flexible. There will be times in life when the right foods are unavailable or you are too busy to get to the gym. For these time allow for a mindset that is flexible and move to an alternate plan instead of giving up.

4. Looking at your efforts as a temporary diet instead of a lifestyle. The biggest reason people sabotage their weight loss is because they are looking at their efforts as a limited diet. In order to keep the weight off you will want to look for long-term ways to eat that keep you satisfied both mentally and physically.

Remember this is a lifestyle change, not a temporary quick fix, if you don't understand your behaviour patterns and why you sabotage yourself, you won't be likely to be very successful in weight loss. Think, even if it's about putting a piece of chocolate into your mouth, question why the chocolate, why not a handful of almonds..just think about it, it's the only way to make permanent changes. Even when it comes to exercise, think about why you're doing it, not because you can eat ice cream, or to just burn a few caklories..although it's a nice perk..but you're making your body work more efficiently. You are building strength and a healthier body, you are energizing it, making it work to your advantage..burning extra calories, helping your posture, making you look good and feel good....Just take a moment and to think.
