Do you believe that mental strategies are necessary for losing weight?
Paige Waehner from Exercise Blog talked about The Truth about Weight Loss-Mental Strategies for Losing Weight.
Paige had a intriguing insight into the mind's role in creating obstacles for losing weight. Paige wrote
"This week, I'm talking about the mental side of losing weight and discussing some of the obstacles the mind creates, such as failure, self-doubt and dishonesty. Learning how the mind can derail you may be enough to overcome those obstacles the next time around."
Yes. We do need mental strategies to overcome the mind's creating obstacles for losing and maintaining weight.
What are your mental strategies for losing and maintaining weight loss?
One of Paige's readers wrote "You are right. Weight loss and fitness is about 10% understanding the importance of exercise and eating fewer calories than you burn, and 90% mental. I’ve lost 120 pounds in the past 26 months."
Another reader wrote "I agree totally with TM. Most work to do with weight loss starts in the brain. It is a constant struggle, every second, minute, hour, day, week. I have lost almost 50 pounds in the last 10 months and it is very hard. Everything I take a bite out of makes me think!!!!"
Have you ever considered adding a mental fitness program to your weight loss program? If you really want to be successful in losing and maintaining weight loss, I recommend the North Star Mental Fitness Program. This program can be added to any weight loss program in order to not only manage the mind's attempt to derail you from becoming successful, but also for providing new strategies for losing weight and maintaining your weight loss.
With the right mental fitness strategies, weight loss does not have to be a constant struggle!
With the right mental fitness strategies, weight loss can be maintained!
Remember, You Live within the Body Created by Your Choices!
