Weight Loss Is All In The Mind
Do you know what’s going on in your mind? You might think you do, but are you sure? Every day you have about 60,000 thoughts. Are these random thoughts, or are they all part of a logical process? Sometimes our thinking is quite structured and logical, but actually, most of us allow our thoughts to run riot. One thought follows another, often with no rhyme or reason. We’re taken down alleys and cul-de-sacs, and then dumped unceremoniously as another thought zooms in and takes us off again into the unknown. This part of our internal dialogue, the ever-present conversation we have with ourselves. It’s called mind chatter.I
Is there anything wrong with mind chatter? There’s nothing ‘wrong’ with it, no – it happens – but it’s a symptom of out-of-control thinking which can be dangerous. Learning to slow down your thinking and to ‘notice’ your thoughts is an important skill to master. If you have no discipline in the way you think, you’ll end up being controlled by your thoughts.
Uncontrolled thinking allows negative thoughts to have the upper hand. When this happens, you’re likely to spend a great deal of your time ‘awfulizing’, allowing negative thoughts to balloon and multiply in your mind. This isn’t helpful when you’re trying to change your life and learn new habits. Self-doubt is always tapping at the door, and you need to be able to keep it out.
If you want to be successful at losing weight, you need to learn to control your thoughts. Awfulizing about your weight or how well or badly you’re doing will not be helpful. The best way to lose weight is to not allow negative thoughts to rule. Permanent weight loss can really only be achieved if your mental attitude is strong and you control the way you think.
