If you've tried all the diets, if you're tired of being scammed, if you're feeling defeated and lost then Chantel Hobbs, author of Never Say Diet knows exactly how you feel. After struggling with her weight her entire life she made the decision to shift her mind set and lost 200lb. Check out 3 of the 5 brain changes that helped her get results and use them to lose weight without dieting.
Be Truthful: So how often do you say you don't have time for exercise or how often do you use stress to justify poor eating habits. According to Chantel Hobbs you are lying to yourself and to everyone and you need to get real. This may be painful but you need to come to terms with it. Never Say Diet Strategy: Pull out a piece of paper and write down every single excuses for not eating healthy and exercising. Own up to the fact that they are just excuses. Keep your list private but pull it out every time you feel like lying to yourself.
Be Committed: How many times have you started a totally overwhelming diet or fitness program only to be discouraged and quit because you could not stay on track with all the changes? According to Hobbs you need to "shift your thinking away from dramatic weight loss and focus on changing the way you think of yourself. Decide today that you will be committed and then let the small success you experience every day build your confidence and your commitment." Never Say Diet Strategy: Committ to a small goal (i.e. walking 30 minutes 4 times a week for a month), then use your success to build confidence and to achieve more challenging goals.
Be Interested: You've probably heard of mindless eating but have you ever heard of mindless dieting and exercise? According to Hobbs you can't rely on the diet industry to do the work for you. "It's one thing to be told that skipping breakfast is bad and another to understand that a healthy breakfast fires your metabolism and keep you burning calories all day." Never Say Diet Strategy: Get interested in your body and what's going to work. Do your own research and come up with solutions that are right for you. "Everything will start to make more sense to you and making hard choices will become easier" if you become interested in the process.
