The Power Of Your mind Is The Key To Successful Weight Loss

In order to consistently change the way you eat, you need to change the way you think about eating. Many of us have lost and regained the same 5, 10, 20 or more pounds only to see it creep back on and unfortunately along with a few extra pounds. It can be discouraging once we lose the weight somehow our old habits that caused us to gain weight in the first place return. The only way to consistently lose weight and keep it off is to change the way we think. We need to develop a plan to control negative thoughts that sabotage and undermine our sense of control. We need to choose an eating plan that we can live with for life. Diets do not work in the long run. Changing your lifestyle, including, how you think about food, what and how much you eat, and engaging in regular activity. In addition, we need to develop ways to counter act the effects of excessive stress in our lives and make sure we get enough good quality sleep. These changes not only will help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight you will also feel better, have more energy, a more positive outlook and reduce your risk of developing chronic disease.

How can we change our thoughts? One way is through Cognitive Behavior Therapy. CBT has been very successful in helping people control their eating. CBT is a form of talk therapy that helps you identify these negative or unhelpful thoughts that can sabotage your healthy lifestyle. This form of therapy helps you develop effective solutions. The basis of CBT is awareness and change. You learn to identify negative thinking patterns, and develop tools to challenge these unhelpful thoughts and make choices that are positive. There are many books available as well as certified CBT therapists that can help you get started. A great way to learn more about CBT and how it can help you lose weight and keep it off is to read:
