The dictionary defines the word attitude as;
“… manner, temperament, feeling, position, etc.;
especially with a tendency or orientation of the mind, such as a negative or positive attitude.”
What does the word attitude mean to you and your weight loss?
May be you use comments like;
It’s not fair that I barely eat anything.
what surprises me? Maybe you’re not eating enough! It is wise to have at least three good nutritious meals a day to keep your metabolism going. Otherwise your body will hold onto every ounce of fat it can, because it thinks there’s a famine and doesn’t know you’re deliberately starving it. If you feed properly, he will not panic and will know that another meal is coming soon.
I only have to look at one donut to gain weight.
Truth! The minute the body sees or smells sugar, it starts preparing itself by releasing insulin which is the fat-storing hormone and is one of the reasons why your mouth is watering.
I have tried every diet under the sun and none of them work.
The more restrictive your diet, the lower your metabolism and the more difficult it is to lose weight. So this can be a positive approach as it will encourage you to change. As Mark Twain said;
“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.”
I gave up, I’ll just eat what I like and blow away the results.
I wonder what “eat what I like” means to you?
If it’s sugary and starchy or processed and refined food, you’re on your way to disaster! This type of food is addictive, and the carbohydrates and sugar will go straight into your fat cells with the help of insulin.
I’ll show the world that I don’t care – after all you can be fat and healthy
This is very common among people who have been struggling and have finally given up. But you know, you don’t have to have this attitude. Help is available. If you prefer to read there are good books by authors such as John Biafra, Zoe Harcombe, Gary Taubes and Michael Pollen. Or there are forums and websites that have a lot of information to browse through. There are weight loss coaches like me. Try looking up the term Paleo on the Internet: it’s a whole new way of eating. Yes, you can be fat and fit, but it really depends how fat you are; The heavier you are, the more difficult it is to walk properly. So you may have to start by eating to lose some weight before you get really fit.
I want to lose weight by christmas tell me something that works fast.
I’m afraid it won’t work! Yes, you can lose weight fast if you eat practically nothing or have a protein shake for every meal between now and Christmas. But what’s going to happen on Christmas and after? you guessed! You just put it back again. You want to look good all the time, don’t you? Not just for Christmas. The minute you start tucking into those mince pies and kicking back the booze, the body is going to heave a sigh and start conserving fat again.
I’ll wear what I like, I’m beautiful the way I am and if everyone thinks I’m ugly that’s their problem!
Is it his attitude or your point? Yes, you are beautiful just the way you are and if you truly believe that, then that love will help you take care of yourself and make the most of your assets.
But you need to ask yourself is it true?
do i really love myself
Am I dressing to impress or with a sassy attitude?
If the answer is yes, then maybe ask if you’re doing what’s best for your body.
Can you think of a new approach you can adopt to make things better for you and give you a goal to achieve?
