Do you feel deprived?
If you are like most people who are on crash diets, you feel deprived
and what happens, right on schedule, you sabotage your diet. The reason why diets fail, in addition to you
feeling powerless to control your lifestyle, is because diets are so
restrictive. You might lose weight and
then you gain it right back because you felt deprived for so long. Then you want to reward yourself. So, avoid feeling deprived by eating smaller
amounts of what you want as opposed to huge amounts of everything. Then when you do, you feel much less deprived
and much more in control. The idea is to
change your lifestyle on a permanent basis, so eat in little bits as opposed to
huge amounts at which point you will avoid feeling deprived.

Most experts say that you need to drink about eight glasses
of water a day. If you drink more water,
you have by far better digestion, you are going to sleep better, you are going
to flush your system better and you’re going to feel full. So, instead of over-eating, drink a large
glass of water and you will feel less likely to want to over-eat. The idea is that if you spend more time
drinking water, you’ll notice that you actually feel better, you lose weight
sooner, and you are more alert and conscious.
All the way around, it is better. So, take more water, eight a day and
you will see more results.

If you’ve decided to improve your health, lose some weight, and
get in shape you are going to have starts and stops. You are going to have trouble; you are going
to fail... everyone does. When you fail,
you quit. Get back in the saddle. So instead of just quitting, ask yourself,
“What am I noticing? Did I over-stuff? What do I do now?” Think in terms of recovery as opposed to
quitting. Most people set unreasonable
goals for themselves then when they are unable to complete them they just quit. So if you think about recovery, you are going
to get back in the saddle.

Do you lie to yourself to justify and rationalize about
everything when it comes to being over-weight?
Do you say things like “I don’t over-eat.” You know you over-eat! You sneak it at night. “Well, these cookies are small. I think I’ll
have about three dozen,” or “I can eat this now and I won’t eat dinner.” You know you are going to eat dinner. “I can eat more because it says “light” on
it.” Oh, please! “I’m big boned.” When was the last time you checked how big
your bones were? If you spend more time
telling the truth, you’re going to have more power. It’s time to take more action as opposed to
just rationalizing, when you do, you now are beginning to lose weight.

Do you notice how often you’re reluctant to lose weight
because it’s hard to picture yourself slim and healthy? Perhaps you’ve been overweight for so long
that the idea of imagining yourself slim is just unthinkable. Start rehearsing in your mind what you would
look like and how you would feel if you were slim. Imagine yourself slim and healthy and do it
on a regular basis. What are you wearing? Who are you hanging around? What are you doing? The more you imagine and rehearse yourself
being slim and healthy the more you are going to begin to believe that it’s
actually possible. So, rehearse and
duplicate and you will begin to see results.

When you eat you generally eat for one of three
reasons:
- nutrition
- connection
- medication
When you are medicating, you know you are upset because
something happened. Notice how often you
eat when you are upset with the illusion that that’s going to help. Instead, do something other than medicating
through eating… write a letter, clean the garage, or go take a walk. Simply do something other than medicating and
you’ll begin to lose weight and have more control.

If you are going to lose weight, you know you have to exercise more and eat less. When you want to move, you want to spend more time doing something with your heart and with your muscles. So park farther away from the store or take the stairs instead of the elevator, take a walk with your loved ones, take a run, take a swim or some form of movement. If you get into the habit of moving on a regular basis you are going to increase your heart rate and you’re going to lose more weight. Plus, you are going to live longer and be healthier. So move, move, move. Put your sneakers on and get going!

One of the ways people can really improve their ability to lose weight and keep it off is to monitor the way they feel at the time that they eat. When you put gas in your car, you only do it when the gauge tells you that you are low. Rarely would you ever over-fill it. As a matter of fact, it seems kind of dumb to do that. So, if it is dumb to over-fill your gas tank, why would you over-fill yourself? Think about the gauge. Think about when you are hungry, when you are content, when you are full and when you are stuffed. If you start taking inventory of your gauge, you are much more likely to stop eating when you are full without feeling deprived. So pay attention to the gauge that way you’ll be unlikely to over-stuff.

If you are like more than half the population out there, you
are over-weight. One in three is obese
in this country; two out of three is seriously over-weight. This means that if you are slim and in shape,
then you are the exception! Well, that
has changed in the last 30 years. Now,
virtually everybody is over-weight. What
do you do about it? The first thing you
need to do is take responsibility for the way you are living your life.
Your health is at risk and you generally avoid doing the things you
really like to do because you are over-weight.
So take more responsibility for now deciding to do something about it
and start anew!
