There is no doubt that the majority of the human population has extreme difficulties when it comes to losing weight. I’m sure we can agree that it certainly seems simple – make more time for exercise and eat less; calorie in vs. calorie out.
What makes it so hard then, if it is that easy. There are several things that typically make most people stray from their weight loss plan.
First off, the first thing you’re going to want to do in the quest to lose weight is to gain an understanding of food. This means understanding both the nutritional facts about food, so you can make effective eating decisions, and determine how you think about food and how it factors into your life.
You may not realize it, but each and every one of us have an emotional connection to food. We all eat for different reasons.
Often, people will resort to certain comfort foods at certain times in their life, if they have been exhausted, or had a bad day, or are overly concerned about something. The problem is that usually these foods are the worst sort.
People are hardwired to like particular activities, and eating is one. Most people don’t enjoy eating really healthy stuff day in day out, but it is not impossible to train yourself to like food that is good for you.
Perhaps the greatest answer for this question is that losing weight is difficult because it is as much a psychological process as it is a physical process. You must mentally learn how to get daily exercise into your life and eat healthy.
After that, you need to eliminate stress. This can be done simply by writing your thoughts and feelings down in a small journal before you go to the cupboard for food. Think of it as “comfort writing,” instead of resorting to comfort food. Once these steps are done, you’ll be able to lose weight more effectively and gain a significant higher level of confidence.
