If, like everyone else, you're hoping to lose weight, you'd be surprised what will help you lose weight. Diet? Sure, but that's not the end of it. Exercise? Of course, but there's something that get's you out of the door-your mind.
Start by getting a picture in your head of what the "thinner" you looks like. You may even want to dig out a picture of yourself when you were thinner. You must be able to visualize what the new you will look like. Print out several copies of that picture. Put it on the bathroom mirror, in your closet, next to your bed, and on the visor of your car. Put the photo in places where you will see it all the time. The more you see it, the more motivation you will get to actually be the person you see in the picture.
Take this simple task for example, change the way you think about shedding the extra pounds. If you have to revert to the "I think I can, I think I can" philosophy, to get you motivated, do that. Don't think of it as a chore or a job, which can have negative connotation, think of it as fun, doing something for yourself for 20 minutes a day.
Step two, change the way you think about eating right. Eating right is different if you are in it long term, it should involve a "life change". The way you think about eating should be different for the rest of your life. You can make the choice to eat right each and every time you put something into your mouth. You can make the conscious choice to eat "good". Make up your mind to eat healthy, and slowly but surely you will feel "full" once you are done eating the meal. Be satisfied with your choice until the next time you decide to eat again. Deciding to eat healthy food will transform how you feel. Make it a healthy habit and try not to think about when you are going to eat next, but how healthy the next thing you are going to consume is.
There you have it for the mind and meals. Exercise and diet are, of course, the great weapons in your arsenal in the war against your weight. But this tried and true strategy is useless without enlisting your mind. If your mind is not convinced, you're doomed to failure no matter the diet or exercise regimen.
