What does staying positive have to do with losing excess
weight permanently? It’s no secret that losing
weight and keeping it off takes resilience and a focus on meeting cherished
goals. Carping and negative thinking is
like throwing a wet blanket on the joy and motivation that are so vital for shedding
excess weight permanently without giving up your life.
The idea for making this commitment came from The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity, A
Simple Guide to Unlimited Abundance a book by Edwene Gaines that Lisa
Sasevich sent to each of the workshop participants as a gift to read before the workshop
began on Thursday. Thanks Lisa! In the book, Gaines issued a 21 Day Challenge
as part of a “life changing” process for learning how to set goals.
How about joining me in making a commitment not to complain,
criticize, and gossip for the next 21 days?
Please let me know how it goes.
Yours in joy and health!
Kay
It is amazing how your posts seem to hit on a problem I am having at just that time. I have been working out and watching my diet, that has included lots of changes, for 7 weeks now. I got on the scale this morning and had not lost one ounce. I'll be honest in saying I was really thinking some negative thoughts. It is hard not to when negative things come at you like that. Any advice?
ReplyDeleteHi Louise,
ReplyDeleteGood for you for making a number of changes! No doubt, it takes determination, patience, and a long-term commitment to lose weight.
If you were previously gaining weight, it may take a number of changes first to stabilize your weight and then some additional changes before you begin to lose.
Two important steps are:
1. Weigh, measure, and record EVERYTHING you eat and drink for several days. Most of us greatly UNDERESTIMATE the amount we eat. For most women, a good calorie target is 1200 calories a day.
2. Build up to one hour of moderate physical activity a day to support your weight loss.
So, give yourself time...by setting a 6 month goal, realizing that small steps will add up.
Yours in joy and health!
