Weight loss – why fight?

We are entering another year, many of us it seems that whenever a set of goal ahead of us – weight loss. I know I’ve set this goal for me many times, only to fall the moment I’m facing serious temptation.

Why is it so difficult to lose weight? There are many reasons but one common theme that I’ve noticed is that it requires a lifestyle change. You really want to change your life, or want a quick fix? As much as we tell ourselves we are willing to work for it, when times get tough it’s easy to return to our old ways. If belt-tightening exercise and eat well for a couple of weeks but have not determined to make a part of your life, you can fall back on old habits. It’s uncomfortable for change. On the other hand, food can be a comfort for many of us. That’s why you can load up on pizza and ice cream when we are having a bad day. We might have so many happy emotions associated with food, like the time our mother took us out for ice cream after we had an A in our work in primary school. As our world becomes more stressful, our unconscious desire to relive those happy days through junk food may increase.

Many weight loss programs fail because they require a drastic change in lifestyle so quickly. These types of programs finally make us hate, no matter the enthusiasm he felt for them at first. I’m thinking, “I really hope that range from being overweight and poor eating habits by eating fruits and vegetables, cut the junk food, and making every day? If I had the self-discipline to do that I need for their program, I’d be in good shape. “

The food is a pleasure, and eating can be a social occasion. I do not want to lose that, and I doubt it is. Do not want to eat a function that I do, just to stay alive. That said, when many of us splurge and eat poorly, is less than the joy of eating and more information about addiction to junk food. Are you really enjoy food that pint of ice cream while watching TV, or feel guilty afterwards? Like not being able to do physical activity because of its weight and health make it almost impossible?

Change is difficult. I read that for change to occur, the pain of staying the same has to be very uncomfortable for us so uncomfortable that see change as our only relief from the pain.

So first we must be willing to accept change, embrace it and really make it part of our lives. Then we must find a solution that works for us, a less drastic solution, so do not reject it and end up hating him shortly after starting. We have to decide that the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of changing our lifestyle.

I wish him the best in each one of us are continuously working on improving our lives, including weight loss and be healthy.
