How to Overcome Your Terror Barrier and Lose Weight For Good

If you’re like many people, you’ve tried numerous diets and perhaps even had some success, but have slowly returned to your old habits and weight. Why does this happen? It almost seems as if our body conspires against us at times, but the true culprit is our mindset! There’s a weight that we’re comfortable with. We wear it like an old sweater. It makes us feel safe and secure.  We don’t even know we’re enabling the habits that keep it on, but we are.

Ovecome Procrastination and Lose Weight

running out of time?

Many people put off diet changes, saying, “I’ll start tomorrow, or next Monday, or on New Year’s Day.” They tell themselves they are too busy right now to focus, and they’ll get to it later.  They might go so far as to commit to going to the gym and even buy a membership but they never go! “Put off today what you can do tomorrow” is the procrastinator’s motto. 

Procrastination is a sort of paralysis. You may look at other people being productive and feel like you have a ton of bricks on your lap and can’t move. The indecision and sheer inertia can play havoc on your plans to reach your goals.

An Easy Weight Loss Visualization Exercise to Help You Reach Your Ideal Weight

We often have difficulty thinking in abstract ideas. We dream in full-color movie clips!  Visualization is a process that we use, even if we don’t know we’re doing it; it’s just how we naturally think. If you think about losing weight, you don’t think in terms of fat cells shriveling up or healthy foods being digested better by your body. You imagine how it would look and fee to be at your ideal weight—what new clothes you might wear or what kind of compliments you might receive. 

It’s important to understand how visualization and the law of attraction work in harmony, because they function whether you know it or not, or even want them to. The law of attraction states that you will attract more of whatever you are thinking about repeatedly, whether you are mulling around or grumbling to yourself; that’s visualizing—which invokes the law of attraction. 

"You become what you think about."

Weight Loss Question For You: Are Your Lifestyle Habits Killing Your Weight Loss Efforts?

Do you have a habit that confirms a belief about yourself? Is that habit serving you well or is it confirming a belief you wish was different? For instance, do you always “super-size” your meals? If so, this is confirming a habit that you are super-sized! You may reject the idea that this is so, but actions speak louder than words.

• Do you believe a meal isn’t complete without dessert or a glass of wine or some bread?
• Do you have a hard time wasting food and feel you should eat everything on your plate?
• When you lose weight do you believe you should hang on to your fat clothes, just in case!?
• Do you believe that you’ll never succeed at losing weight?

Jennifer Hudson Sheds Pounds With Weight Watchers But Is The Diet Good For Us Average Folks?

Jennifer Hudson, the academy award winner with the booming, soulful singing voice, is the newest face for the Weight Watchers diet program. For those of you unfamiliar with the program, it involves the use of a Points system, combined with weigh-ins and meetings. Admittedly, Weight Watchers may work for some people in the short-term, but like many “plans” are often not effective for long term, weight loss maintenance.  This is because diet plans that don’t address the mental and emotional aspects of weight problems and overeating, thus they are doomed to fail. Once a person begins to feel the pain or despair, which had driven them to gain weight in the first place, they will begin to overeat once again.

“They will begin to overeat again.”

Why Many Women Fail in Losing Belly Fat

The #1 reason so many women battle belly fat…

They give up too soon!

After a week of giving a new fat loss plan a try – eating right and sticking to an effective exercise plan, they re-measure and see no change on the scale and nothing looks different in the mirror. So they give up. 



Add in the fact that many women are misled by the notion that hundreds of abdominal exercises or hours of doing cardio are the solution to lose the stubborn belly fat. They are associating discomfort with results.

Gratitude: The Key to a Happy Valentine's Day

Valentine's day is so filled with pseudo-romantic fluff that its true meaning easily gets lost: Gratitude and appreciation for that special someone in your life.

There's nothing wrong with flowers and pink hearts; of course, as long as you also take some time to reflect on all the things you're grateful for.  These could include people and things in your own life, and of course your partner if you have one.  It also includes the other important people in your life, family, friends, colleagues, and beyond.

Valentine's Day -- Vow to Love Yourself

Valentine's Day is coming around again, and there's no escaping it.  Everywhere you look, there are hearts, roses, and candy wrapped in pink. With everyone's thoughts on love and whether or not you have a Valentine of the traditional kind, here is one Valentine you should have: YOU.

Yes, that's right.  You should be your own Valentine.  Even if, and especially if you have another Valentine.  That's because in order to truly love someone else, you have to love yourself first.  And that can be a challenge, especially if you're carrying around unwanted pounds.

Weight Loss Secrets: Do You Know the Relationship Between Your Mind, Your Body and Losing Weight
