If you've got problems with your weight and you've struggled for years without ever seeing a permanent result to your problem then you need to change direction now. It is highly likely that you are being held back by your mind-set so lets briefly consider what this means.
First off, lets have a look at the self management sequence. This refers to the driving force behind all of your actions and everything you do. It pretty much goes like this:
Your actions are created by your feelings. Your feelings are created by your attitudes. Your attitudes are created by your beliefs, and your beliefs are created by your programming.
What this means is that your programming, or subconscious, is going to determine exactly what you do on a day to day basis by running through the self management sequence. This programming is essentially the foundation and if you want to perform the right actions to achieve a result then you need to make sure that your subconscious 'wiring' is supporting, not sabotaging your efforts.
So, how exactly does this link to your current weight?
Well, if you fail to get your foundation right - the right programming and mind-set - then your actions at the end of the sequence will never be right either. They might be right for a while, and this is why you can stick with a diet for a bit, but they will never last long. This will invariably hold you back from achieving your weight loss goals.
If you have tried diets in the past and managed to lose weight, only to see it return soon after when you return to 'default setting' you can bet your bottom dollar that you not only have the 'wrong' mind-set, but that you are actually accerbating the problem by programming your subconscious to believe that diets don't work for you. You may see short term success, but the inevitable rebound weight gain will happen if your mind-set isn't right.
Most people only focus on the nutrition and exercise side of things when they try to lose weight. This is woefully insufficient because there's no way you're going to be able to make consistently positive decisions about nutrition and exercise if your mind-set and programming are wrong.
So before you even consider trying another diet or weight loss programme, please do focus on developing that positive, long term weight loss mind-set. If you don't you'll be sure to keep struggling.
