You can spend time blaming yourself for failing, but with doing so you will not achieve anything, if you want a lasting change, you need a new way of thinking about weight loss, the mentality that accompanies each diet is what prevents you from achieving long-term goals , believe that you can not be happy unless you are thin, you see it all the time in the marketing of weight loss, an image of "before" overweight with ragged clothes, dirty hair and a frown, then an image dazzling "after", with not only smaller clothes and smaller waist, but also incredible hair and a dazzling smile.

The weight loss industry has done a good job of linking our happiness to our weight, as if losing weight is a magical way to happiness, but it is not, when happiness does not come, the weight returns and you you find yourself even more miserable, you must learn to be happy regardless of your weight, and you will lose weight successfully, you do not need to punish yourself to lose weight, these beliefs not only damage the progress of weight loss, but destroy your life, the belief of that you can not trust you moves into your professional life.

At some point, you realize that you have to change these toxic beliefs, more than any food, the happiness does not come from the achievement of an idea of ​​socially accepted success, but from the full acceptance and life in the present, the loss of weight and healthy eating is about nourishing yourself and not punishing you, by focusing on this naturally you start making better decisions, without requiring a superhuman willpower or someone to support you, the most difficult thing is to trust your body and eat because you are really hungry, and not because some diet tells you that you can do it.

That is so true. The mind is a powerful tool. Even aging begins in your mind. If people think they will get all kinds of so called age related ailments, they certainly will. Like a self fulfilling prophecy.
