Most women focus on their eating as the main cause of their weight issues.
That is true, when it comes to eating more then your body needs, but that won’t be helpful if you are trying to make a long term change.
Your eating is directly related to:
- how you have been brought up
- what was the conversation you heard about food while growing up
- to your first memory around food, at the table in your own home
- experiences related to your eating – judgment, criticism, comments related about your body
- have you been given food as a reward
- comments about your eating and about the outcome
- creating opinion about food listening, reading, watching others
- what food means, represents to you
- what you feel while thinking about food and while eating
- why you eat certain foods
- what is the driver for you restrict the food groups
- how you learned to react to stress & emotions
It is very important to address all these connections, for you to be able to do something about your eating.
If you push under the carpet your challenging relationship with food and your behaviours around food that you find disappointing or unhealthy, you will be spinning in circles.
Until you become aware of what is happening and you put your head up, nothing will change and fortunately, you are the only one who can do that.
So how you can lose weight and keep it off?
- Focus on long term reward, rather than instant gratification
- Focus on bigger picture, of how much your life can be positively affected if you change what you do and how you feel every day
- Losing weight as a goal is exciting, but not as exciting to what you will gain for feeling full of energy, stronger, fitter, better mood etc.
- Change your approach from all or nothing, to long term learning
- what gets you results, you will have to keep doing those little things to keep those results
- it is about your daily habit and behaviour change for long term success and reward
