Throughout your lifetime how many diets have you been on? How many times were you successful? Did you sustain a healthy weight? These are some questions I would like for you to think about the next time you convince yourself to go on a diet. Most people diet for a period of time, lose the weight and then gain it back plus more. Does this pattern sound farmiliar? There are subliminal messages in our brain that just don’t like the word “diet”. Instead of calling it a diet, try a lifestyle change. Diets don’t last because most of them require you to omit certain foods from your tasting palette. If you have been eating something all of your life, your mind will not allow you to go cold turkey and stop eating it FOREVER... If you omit food from your meals you will eventually crave that food and overeat it.
Did you know that the same sensors in the brain that tell a drug addict to use drugs or an alcoholic to drink are the same sensors that tell you to crave sugars, junk food or to be a compulsive eater? We eat or don't eat when we are depressed, in doubt, happy or sad. You have to be really strong willed to eliminate foods from your meals and most of the world is not, which is why obesity is now an epidemic. A good idea is to eat everything that you want in moderation, bake instead of frying, incorporate exercise, eat your fruits & veggies, replace your bad fats with healthier fats and most importantly have a support system!

Stop setting yourself up for failure with fad diets. Continuously tell yourself that you are in this to win this and for the long haul!! Change your life!
It all sounds complicated, but it is all very simple. You didn’t gain that weight in a heartbeat and you will not lose the weight in a heartbeat. Take your time with your weight loss and wellness goals, be persistent and remember that skinny is not always healthy. You will see results I promise!!! Toodles.
