Weight Loss - Will This Help Your Weight Loss?

Since you're reading this article I assume you are trying to lose weight. Read this article word for word and apply it. I must forewarn you; this article is a little lengthy.

In order to achieve successful weight loss you must have a purpose. It can't be a weak purpose like; I'm tired of being fat. It has to be something that will really make you stick to your plan. This purpose can't be a wish because a wish can be something that never comes true. Your purpose must be a burning desire within. This is very crucial to your weight loss success. Your absolute purpose will help you find the tools you need to be successful with your weight loss.

You have to get involved with a group of people who are on the exact same path as you. This doesn't have to be a group you meet with in the mall or coffee shop. This could be a group via the internet. You can talk in chat rooms, IM, or via email.

It is important that you push each other and give encouraging words when needed. Where you are weak, another person could be strong. Set some time aside so you can chat once a week. This will be very important throughout your weight loss journey. If you start a group, exude confidence and inspiration. Not only will this help the members, it will keep you going as well.

While you're going through your weight loss journey you must have a great attitude. I'm not saying you need to be ridiculously positive, but you have to keep your attitude straight. This is very important for your weight loss success. You can not have a horrible attitude towards losing weight and doing a lifestyle change. This will keep you at square one.

A horrible attitude will make your goals completely unreachable. Your stinky attitude will make you think every task will be difficult. You have to build a great mental attitude to achieve your weight loss goals. You have to see your weight loss program as mining for diamonds.

Another action that will prohibit success is self limiting beliefs. You have to develop a plan to get rid of your self limiting beliefs. How can you achieve total weight loss if you don't believe it? Your mind is very powerful and you have complete control over it.

You control what you want to believe and what you can and can not do. It should be your number one priority to learn how to reverse your self-limiting beliefs to totally believing in what you want to accomplish. Ask yourself the following questions. Do you believe you can lose weight? Do you think you can go the duration? Really think about those questions. Your beliefs will either move you forward or keep you at the same weight.

A great way to really keep going on a daily basis is the 195% Rule. I know you're probably thinking, what the heck is the 195% rule. This is how it works. Give 150% to successfully lose weight and keep it off. The 150% is your daily routine of eating right, exercising, keeping your mind fit, and reviewing your goals. The 45% is for the days when you wake-up feeling like blah.

You don't feel like exercising and eating right. This is where the 45% kicks in. You look at your 45% card and say, ok, this is the reason why I am doing this. I can't have two consecutive blah days. I have to use the 195% Rule today. You are doing what needs to be done without hesitation. This is the 195% Rule. There is more to it than that, but this is just a brief description.

Possessing self-discipline requires you to thoroughly evaluate your current abilities. It will determine your success as everything else I mentioned. It will help you think and question everything before you put it in action. It will help you with your emotions that may cause you to eat unnecessarily.

People are so quick to say I don't have any self-discipline. You are telling yourself you don't have any self discipline. The truth is we all have self-discipline. We just don't know how to use it properly in the area of weight loss and lifestyle change. This should be one of your goals besides weight loss.

I truly believe your thinking is the answer to weight loss. Our minds are very powerful and I'm not talking about super hero fantasy stuff. Your mind must be completely aligned up with doing a lifestyle change. Your thoughts must not be of failure and eating. Your thoughts must be on your ultimate weight goal. I am not saying you need to become obsessed with weight loss, but you need to keep it in your mind. You always need to know what you are striving towards. Your ultimate goal must always be in your mind.

Your mind will take in anything that you constantly think about. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad. Whatever you constantly and consistently think about will normally transpire in your life. So, if you constantly thinking you will never lose weight then you won't.

The last topic I want to discuss is eating. You're probably mumbling, this is the last thing I want hear. Please end the article now! Don't worry, I will not be cruel.

You must learn that food is not your friend. It's not your security blanket or your therapist. I know that all of that sounds funny, but it's the truth. Eating pretty much boils down to change and control. You have to learn to control how much you eat and what you eat. You have to see food in a different manner and not something that makes you feel good like a massage. It is for nourishment and nothing more.

Utilize what I discussed in this article. Don't just read it and say, ok. Put it into action today. Don't wait another minute or until the following Monday to start. Do it now.
