If Youre Still Fat Then Blame Your Diet

     Everyone knows the things they have to do to lose weight: Eat healthy food, exercise regularly, drink lots of water, and get plenty of sleep. Sure it's easy to say these things, but what about actually doing them all at the same time?

If you're in dieting mode, you may look at your dietary changes as temporary, something you work on until you reach your goal. You may even see your diet program as a crutch, something you depend on to change your behaviors. A bad dieting slip up can mess up your progress for weeks on end. Your diet program does not consider emotions & stress that may lead you to overeat.

The "you can never eat that again" mentality of dieting makes us desire junk food even more.

Weekends often become an excuse to overindulge. Finally we get to order those cheese fries we've been eying all week! Work parties or gatherings with friends or family turn into feasts and can get us off track for the days following. We always say "just this once" and that we'll go right back to our diet afterwards. Those indulgences add up making your goal that much further in the future.

When you get out of the dieting mindset and into the healthy living for the rest of your life mindset you will find that you can enjoy all foods in a moderate way. Listening to your body will make the biggest difference. Learn to experience real hunger, and enjoy real food that your body craves. Having junk food cravings is normal, everyone has them. It doesn't mean that you have to satisfy your every craving. If you really do want something that is high in calories and low in nutrients then allow yourself whatever it is when you're hungry and in moderation. Savor it and do not allow yourself to feel guilty about it.

Keep going no matter what; don't let small setbacks grow into larger day-long binges. Learn from your mistakes and move forward. The only way to lose weight is to be consistent. Once you've formed your new habits, they will stick with you for a lifetime. You will never have to diet again. Just listen to what your body tells you. If you listen to your body you will be lead to eating the nutrients (found in real healthy food) that your body needs.

Weight loss doesn't have to be slow and dreadful. Think about the healthy and slim people in your life, are they tracking all of their calories? Chances are they aren't. Thin people are aware of what they are eating usually but they don't keep track every single thing like fat dieters tend to. If they had a carb heavy breakfast, chances are they will stick to a light dinner. Truly healthy people always make exercising a priority.
