Good Health Starts From Within
As your weight increases above normal, so to do your health issues. Your body is designed to operate best at a certain weight. Beyond that weight, things get out of balance. So many people focus on dieting, but before you go there, you have to understand that good health starts from within.
And I don’t mean inside your stomach, I mean inside your head. Your head is the primary controller to everything in your life. It’s the root of stress, it’s the reason you doubt, it’s the reason you fail in your goals. But it doesn’t have to be.
What you think about grows.
There’s a common thing that happens to new medical students as they begin their studies of new diseases. More than half of them at some point will begin to believe they have a disease, simply because they have been studying the symptoms. They focus so much on the disease, that they will themselves to have it. And the subconscious can’t tell the difference between reality and what you imagine to be true.
Your thoughts are powerful. All things originate from thought. But they can also work against you, so you need to start monitoring your conscious thoughts, clearing out any negativity, and replacing the negative with positive.
Be careful how you position your thoughts. The subconscious can’t process the word ‘don’t’ so of you think to yourself that you don’t want to gain any weight, your mind will process it as you want to gain weight!
Weight is the first key to health. You only have one body. Your body is your temple. How do you treat your body? Think about this. Do you love yourself? Really? Well, if weight is an issue, then I submit to you that you don’t.
If weight loss has been difficult for you, there is a reason. And it’s not what you think. Excuse the pun, but it IS how you think.
If you’re frustrated with your weight loss, get excited. Frustration can be a great motivator to put you in the mindset you need to get in, to initiate change.
Long term weight loss is a life change. It’s about identifying the patterns that get you there. Whether it is emotional eating, or eating too late, eating too much or simply eating the wrong things, you must break those patterns and establish new one. Don’t expect overnight changes. It didn’t take you 2 weeks to add on that extra 10-30-50 pounds, so you are not going to be able to lose the weight that fast.
But if you start making some changes now, and improve a little every day, the impact will be easy to handle and the results will create a new you over time.
If you truly love yourself, love your body, and you want to change, you will.
Start now by putting a scale in your bathroom, a pen and a pad of paper and record your weight (and body fat if your scale measures it) every day. This will identify where you are, what your weight patterns are and it will break your pattern of avoiding knowing your weight.
