Are you feeling discouraged?
Having difficulty losing weight?
I understand.
Losing weight can be difficult. Perhaps playing the weight loss mind game will help. Let’s begin!
Why do you want to “play the game”?
- It’s important you know why you want to lose weight.
- What are the reasons losing weight has value to you?
- Make a detailed list of your reasons to lose weight.
- Your list may change as time goes on.
- Whenever you feel your resolve weakening, read and re-read your list to motivate you to “stay in the game”.
Who is “playing the game” with you?
- Having someone to work with on your weight loss journey is very helpful. It helps with accountability—which is very important in weight loss.
- Having a weight loss “buddy” is also helpful. A friend, spouse, co-worker, or relative can make the game more fun.
- Do not compete with your weight loss buddy. Support, share, encourage, and celebrate each other’s victories. You each are running your own race—this is not a competition.
What happens if the “game” seems overwhelming?
- Set small, achievable goals.
- Have mini goals. After you “win” your mini-goal, set another.
- Feeling overwhelmed—take baby steps.
- Slow and steady is perfectly fine.
What happens if you make a mistake playing the “game”?
- Many of us have experienced a deviation or derailment.
- Dieters who “win” the game get right back on their program the next day, or the very next meal.
- Do not let a mistake knock you “out of the game”.
How can healthy food decisions be part of the “game”?
- Tell yourself unhealthy food choices are not an option.
- Remember why you want to lose weight. Re-read your list.
- Know that your healthy food choices will help you “finish” the game and achieve your goals.
The more you “play the game”, the easier it will become.
- Healthy eating decisions are easier to make after you make them over and over again.
- Your success will help motivate you to your next mini-goal.
- Your weight loss skills will improve as you continue to follow your program.
