How to avoid sabotaging your weight loss
If you are trying to lose weight and failing then you need to ask if
you are sabotaging your efforts. Dieters are often afraid of being
slim even if they are not consciously aware of this fear, and in
return they end up sabotaging their weight loss.
If you want to successfully lose weight and keep the weight off
permanently then you have to face your fears and deal with them.
Until you know what you are fearful about then you will keep on
sabotaging your weight loss and keep on failing to get down to a
healthy weight.
What are some of the fears that people face when they are trying to
lose weight?
* They are afraid that they might become more attractive to the
opposite sex.
* They are afraid of the jealousies that might come from other
people.
* They are afraid of any attention they might get as a result of
their weight loss.
* They are afraid of the comments they will get from their partner
and family.
Fear will stop them losing the weight they want to lose. You need to
look at how your friends and family are reacting to you going on a
diet and trying to lose weight? Are they being helpful or are they
being negative. When you finally lose that weight you might still
not be happy if you haven’t dealt with all the underlying problems
which caused you to overeat in the first place.
You might find friends don't want to be around you or they are rude
in your presence. Would you become so unhappy that you think your
life was better when you were overweight? You might then decide to
overeat, to binge or give up exercising?
You might think you want something, but deep down you are fearful of
what might be waiting for you. There might be no substance in your
fear but it is enough to cause you to sabotage any weight loss plan
you might be following. If this is you then you need to face the
fear otherwise they will take priority in your life and you will
continue to sabotage your weight loss.
