As you already know, emotions have the tendency of dominating our thoughts, which causes actions we prefer not to transpire.
These emotions are detrimental to the success you are seeking.
This is one of the reasons why I said weight loss is mental.
When you don't put forth the effort to get your mental in the form it needs in order for you to experience permanent weight loss success, it won't happen.
Everyone likes to promote eating healthy and getting out and exercises.
Yes, those are keys too, but if your mind isn't where it needs to be the healthy eating and exercising will not be consistent.
Nowadays weight loss must be approached in the manner of getting mentally fit for physical fitness.
We are in an age of excess portions and making everything bigger.
It's funny how you can turn on the television and watch a show that glorifies gluttony.
Years ago nothing like that was on television.
Some people will watch the show and will want to attempt the challenge and they will practice and be just like the show.
This is why weight loss has to be approached this way.
Before I jump off topic let me continue with focusing on your mental side.
Getting mentally fit will take some work.
It's not going to happen overnight.
If you really want to experience the success you've been longing for you will sacrifice and do it.
Your mind controls everything about you and you have to train it in order to consistently eat healthy and exercise without complaining on a daily basis.
You want to be able to select something healthy yet delicious without saying, "I don't want to eat this" or "I don't want to workout for 60 minutes.
" Every day, you have to do something to get your mind mentally fit.
You have to read.
You have to write.
You have to looking at certain things.
You have to do certain assignments to make this happen.
Getting mentally fit is not for the faint of heart.
It is for those who want to be fit and healthy.
Getting mentally fit will help you develop positive emotions.
These positive emotions will help prohibit the negative emotions that cause you to emotionally eat.
I'm not saying that you will instantly replace your negative emotions with positive ones and emotional eating will disappear.
No, it will take some work as well as other steps that will cause you to control your negative thoughts and emotional eating.
Focusing on your mental side will make the physical side a lot easier when you put the steps into action every day.
When you really sit and think about getting your mind in shape for weight loss, how hard will it be to eat properly and exercise? How hard will it be not to concentrate on food.
How had will it be to not emotionally eat? Your goal is to get mentally fit so you can become physically fit.
