This is a continuation of yesterday’s Getting OFF the Diet Merry-Go-Round article, discussing your commitment to take the necessary steps to lose weight or have “the diet” do the work for you.
Are you hoping “the diet” will allow you to lose weight and you won’t have to change your thinking about food or eating habits? If you answer “Yes” to this question, you have taken the first step in realizing what is stopping you from succeeding. This realization is an opportunity you can explore and then develop a plan to change your thinking and habits. In a way this is a miracle!
If you would like to start exploring what is stopping you from succeeding please answer the following questions. Remember there is no right or wrong answers. The only thing we are doing is exploring what is hold you back from succeeding.
1. How many diets have you been on in the last year?
2. What successes did you have while on any one particular diet?
3. While on any of the diets did you change your think about food?
4. What happened to change your mind and start a new diet or just take a break from dieting?
5. What eating habits do you still follow when you either changed diets or stopped dieting? (Example: I never eat standing up.)
After completing this exercise what thoughts and ideas did you come up with? Please share your ideas and thoughts by leaving a comment or sending me an email at helen@loveyourselfcoaching.net.
I need your help in building a community where we can support each other in our journey. Please let me know if you are interested by leaving a comment or sending me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.
