Best Way To Lose Weight
People are always asking me what the best way to lose weight is. The answer is more simple than you would think.
It comes down to shoulds and musts. We all have things we think we should and should not do, and we also have things that are on our must list, and those are things we absolutely must and must not do.
For example, I’m sure you believe that you must not do drugs. This is an easy one and on most people’s must never do list. However, when it comes to weight loss, most areas where people need to improve are on the should list.
I should eat healthier.
I should avoid ice cream at night.
I should exercise more.
Ask yourself. Are these on your should or must lists?
If you can make these musts, you are on your way. Remember not to expect overnight changes. It took you time to put on the weight, it can take you an equal period to reset your internal scale to lower figures. The brain is very protective in the short term. The more you push it to lose weight, the more it will resist at first. But making longer term, gradual changes, over time and you’ll be on your way to a healthier you.
Get frustrated!
There is a mental state you need to be in, in order to lose weight. If you’re frustrated with your actions in the past, that’s a good point to start. Use frustration as a tool to motivate you to lose the weight you need.
The should and must list is something you can apply to improve every aspect of your life. Once you make exercising a must, you are on your way towards good health!
It’s Contagious
The other benefit of developing positive ‘musts’ is that it impacts everyone around you. Your family, your spouse, your children, will all be reinforced reinforced by your new musts and pretty soon, they’ll make it one of theirs as well.
You may be surprised that the best way to lose weight isn’t some diet plan, or some exercise plan. Sure those things will help support your goal and help you reach it more quickly. But changing your musts changes you from within – and when you’re inside is looking good, it’s not too long before your outside reflects what in your inside.
