Heavy Thoughts? How Distorted Thinking Affects Weight Loss

There’s a difference common to individuals who fail to lose weight and keep it off long term. It’s called all-or-nothing thinking. Do you recognize any (or all) of the following?

· Hunger is bad; being full (often overly full) is good.

· My eating week was good or bad even if I just struggle one day or several minutes a day

· If I’m losing weight, I’m fully in control; if I’m not, I’m totally out of control.

Announcing A Contest for Insane Motivational Weight Loss

Sometimes, we all need a kick in the butt to get things done. In my 15-plus years working with individuals on body shaping and weight loss, I have heard amazing things that individuals do when gaining weight.  But also have I seen amazing results when strategies were implemented and followed.

Learning to become more active can be a challenge. And staying active over your entire lifetime can be an even bigger challenge. It’s not just that it could get boring doing the same thing over and over again, but also it is a challenge to find and do new things.

Here are the issues: You’ve done the gym workouts. Working out at home is fantastic, but you are by yourself.   Swimming is great, but it

Breakfast (post-holidays) for weight loss

Once again, Thanksgiving was a feast. Each year, over a hundred thousand Americans overeat during the holiday time. The next day, food is the last thing that many think about. But then there are the leftovers. How about a little pie for breakfast? It is too good to go to waste. And the feast continues.

Weight loss is on many on our minds during this time. But the call to the dinner table wins out over the call to the gym. There we have a dilemma: Too stuffed to workout. Leftovers linger for days. And relaxation and catching up with friends and family is priority number one.

What to do? Start small. Make an effort

Get in shape now

Holidays are a time to relax, enjoy your leisure time and…gain weight.

That doesn’t have to be. I refuse to let you gain weight. Why? Because I care and you are on my mailing list.

Burn fat by feeding it

Fat! That word alone makes many of my clients wince.  “I am fat over here and over there.” “There’s a fat roll on my back, on the stomach and around my knees.”
 
I’ve heard it all. And yet so many don’t eat fat to burn the fat.
