Want to Lose Weight? Think Like a Thin Person
Have you been having a hard time losing weight? Do you keep trying new diet plans, supplements, exercise equipment and weight loss programs that promise miraculous results in just 10 days? No product in the world can make you lose. The right equipment for successful weight loss can't be bought. It doesn't need to be. You have it already. And it's free. It's your brain.
You need to use your brain to think like a thin person. Why? Feeling fat makes us feel unhappy and we all need some comfort when we feel upset. And what's a great comforter? Comfort food!
Thin people don't have to think about food all the time. When you are always dieting, you are going to be dreaming about food all day long- and the more you think about food, the harder it is to not overeat.
They don't put off buying new clothes until they reach some difficult to obtain goal. They are free to live in the moment if they wish.
Thin people don't have yo yo weight loss and gains. And as we all know, studies show that yo yo dieting is detrimental to permanent weight loss and can cause you to actually gain.
And most important of all, when a thin person eats a carrot, he or she is eating it because they want to. Not because they are very hungry at 8PM and that's all that's left to eat from their daily meal plan.
So how can we go about thinking like a thin person?
*Do something everyday to make yourself feel beautiful
*Don't put off buying new clothes or getting a new hair cut or going on that trip you've been dreaming of. Don't think: when I get thin, then I will do what I want. Do it now. Promise to pay later. The happiness and satisfaction you will gain will do more to help you lose weight than all the diet pills in the world.
*Follow a sound, healthy eating plan that isn't too hard for you to follow. The slower you lose weight the longer the results will last. Half a pound a week is a good goal.
*Savor and enjoy the food you eat. Try to taste what makes each food special.
Exercise your mind, it's the most important weight loss tool you will ever have.
