Losing weight is a battle, a struggle, a pain, right? That's
most people's experience whatever diet they follow.
And nearly everyone finds keeping the weight off is even harder.
There's no doubt about it, the majority of diet and fitness
regimes are hardly a bed of roses. And those pills, patches and
potions, which are supposed to make it easy, are either
dangerous or don't do what they promise.
So how CAN you make this easier?
The answer lies in your routines.
What you habitually do shapes you - quite literally. If you
habitually go without breakfast and stuff your face at 11am with
cookies because you're starving, you'll end up with one kind of
body. If you habitually have a yogurt and fruit on waking and
take an apple to eat at 11am (when you'll still be starving) you
end up with another kind.
If you habitually walk everywhere your shape is likely to be
different than if you jump in the car to go a mile down the
road.
Routines are just patterns of behaviour. Things we feel
comfortable doing once we get used to them. We don't even have
to think about them. They're easy for us - automatic.
The answer to easier weight loss AND KEEPING IT OFF then , is in
adopting the right routines and habits so that we don't even
have to think - we just do whatever is good for our shape -
automatically.
The skill is in moving from one set of routines (the kind that
keep you overweight) to another - the kind that will result in
weight loss and then weight maintenance for the rest of your
life.
An all-out drastic lifestyle change rarely works, but if you
gently change your habits and build them gradually, taking on
changes that you are happy to live with for life, then you WILL
find a permanent automatic solution to your weight problems.
What routines are you following today? What small changes could
you make which would be your first steps to permanent natural
weight loss?
Now it's time to take action and change your habits step by step
to lose that weight!
