Ok I'm not gonna waste anyone's time here building this up and making you wonder whether or not mind-set is actually important. The truth of the matter is that mind-set is not only important, it is the absolutely foundation of long term fat los success.
To consider this in depth, we need to talk about programming. What do I mean by this? Well, we're kind of talking about your subconscious here. This is where all of your programming is stored, and this is what is really driving all of your actions and decisions. It is your subconscious that will determine which path you take...whether thats towards long term weight loss or consistent rebound weight gain from dieting.
Our programming originates from everything we say, do, hear, and so on. This all adds up to create the beliefs that we hold. For example, if, when you are young and all of the way through your life, you are told that you will never be slim and that you'll never lose weight for good with any diet, this is going to form itself into a subconscious belief.
These beliefs will then shape themselves into your attitudes. You'll begin to have a bad attitude towards diets on a subconscious level and this will determine your feelings towards food and dieting. You feelings towards anything will shape your actions. So if your feelings towards diets is that they don't work for you or that you cannot lose weight successfully, you'll end up acting in support of those feelings, attitudes, and beliefs.
So everything therefore starts with how you are programmed. If you have struggled for years with your weight and have tried multiple diets without long term success then you can be sure that your programming is not supporting you, but holding you back.
What you believe, you will achieve. Its a popular saying and its so true. Even though this saying is often used to motivate people to develop positive beliefs, it also shows that negative beliefs will lead to negative results. If you don't have the right mind-set for weight loss, therefore, you will always struggle.
This is the foundation of all weight loss success. However it is, unfortunately, hugely neglected to the detriment of the majority of dieters and anyone trying to achieve permanent weight loss success. So, what can you do about this? Well, this is someone I'll look into in another article where you'll get some handy tips on how to make weight loss permanent.
