The Diet Brain
This
mean ol' diet is hurting my wittle head!
The normal brain is a well-programmed
engine that trots smoothly along. It often runs
so smoothly that we rarely even give it a second thought.
Except...when it goes into Diet Mode....
The Diet
Brain gallops at a desperate pace, lathering up
the brain circuitry, jamming up the lines, blocking
nerves thus causing the generally very cool head to
jolt into a Diet Storm filled with spiraling tornadoes,
bolts of lightning and often times, flooded raging streams.
As with
anything in life, if it isn't fun, then the sooner the
task is completed the better. In Diet Mode, the
pace quickens further still.
We don't
want the extra weight off tomorrow - or even today.
By gosh - we want it off yesterday!
And as with
anything that we want really bad, it seems to come to
us at a very slow pace. So here we are, locked
heavily in Diet Mode with our brains driving us nuts
over weight loss. Just take an inside peek at
Dieter Sally's current wave of thoughts:
"What
can I eat for dinner that won't blow my diet?"
"What
about at the movie tonight? How can I possibly
get through the movie without my traditional bucket
of buttered popcorn?"
"When
Hal picks me up for the movie, will he notice my new
slimmer shape? I know that one pound isn't much
- but it's a start. Hum. Well, I think I
look thinner."
"I
wonder how many calories are in a cheeseburger without
the cheese?"
"I
heard that burgers are packed with salt. Will a burger
make my trimmer looking body blow up into Sodium City?"
"I
don't like diet drinks. Maybe I can splurge on
a real soda this evening if I have a salad instead of
a burger. I wonder how many calories are in a
soda...."
"If
Ilene brings donuts to work again tomorrow, I'm going
to kill her."
"Gosh
- I wish that I could NOT think about dieting for at
least five minutes!!"
"When
is this dastardly diet going to end?"
Oh Sally
- our sweet, dieting little Sally. Her thoughts
ring an old familiar bell that has so many cracks in
it that it would make old Liberty jealous.
She is in
desperate need of finding Diet Shangri-La!
Perhaps
we can send out some thoughts that might be of help
in calming Dieter Sally's storm-tossed brain.
Because our minds are basically tortured during Diet
Time with continual thoughts of weight loss, relaxation
becomes a vital part of Weight Loss Success.
Sally would do well to become engaged in a hobby or
activity that she thoroughly enjoys which will not only
make Diet Time fly by faster, it will also help reset
her brain.
If Sally enjoys a hobby that might endanger her diet
- such as cooking, there is no need to bypass that favorite
hobby.
Creations
from the kitchen can become a cherish gift. Too many
times, we wait for holidays and special occasions to
say, "I love you. I like you. Thank
you for being my friend, my parent, my boss, my partner,
etc."
By focusing on the good things that weight loss will
bring, the Diet Spell may also be broken.
Becoming interested in learning more about diet and
weight loss will also help Dieter Sally.
The more
familiar that we are with something we don't like, the
more apt we are to accept it for face value or in the
case of weight loss, for pound value.
