Successful Diet Plan - How to Make
Your New Diet Work
2.
Conquering
Your Diet History
- You can't go forward until you look your Diet Past
in the face and conquer. What makes you tick? Why did
you gain weight? Stress? Financial reasons? Peer pressure?
Health issues?
There
is an ancient saying, "We learn from our mistakes"
but you know, some of us require repeated misery until
"we finally get it". Such was my case before
I successfully lost weight. I kept repeating my prior
mistakes over and over and over again which ended up
becoming an even bigger disaster in the end literally because
I'd wind up weighing more after I quit my diet than
I did before I started my diet. I played catch-up, enjoying
all the foods (and then some) which I had banished from
my diet.
One
of the common mistakes made by many dieters is that
they have a "Diet on the Lamb". In other words,
they are on a personal-concocted diet in which they
restrict foods rather
than being on a diet PLAN. They may not know how many
calories their body requires to achieve weight loss,
but they know that cupcakes and donuts are bad - so
let's not eat those. In the meantime, please pass the
stuffing.
When one has a plan - whether
it involves building something or a diet, then success
is more likely to occur. Without a plan we don't know
where to start, we don't know where to go to next, we
don't know what materials to use and so forth. And in
the end, many dieter's self-built houses wind up looking
like something that hurled out of Oz.
But
even with buildings and diet plans - the unexpected
can occur. Such is life. What if Contractor Jim builds
a house and right in the middle of completion, a giant
tumbleweed rolls over the house and pulverizes it? Smart
Jim has a back-up plan. After consulting with his insurance
company, he immediately begins the rebuilding process.
He may lose a bit of ground, but he's up and running
as soon as possible.
Such
is a good diet plan. A good diet plan is never without
a back-up plan. Take Dieter Daisy. She is doing great
on her diet plan and has lost 20 of the 40 pounds that
she needs to lose. Then one day, out of the clear blue
yonder she comes face to face with a giant banana nut
muffin. What to do? And she doesn't want to eat just
a nibble or two. Oh no - Daisy wants the whole thing.
So, she pulls out her back-up plan and thumbs quickly
through her Table of Diet Contents until she comes across
the topic: "What I should do if faced with a giant
banana
nut muffin." From there, she is able to use her
back-up plan and move forward to Weight Loss Success.
Identify
your weaknesses, then build a back-up plan to deal with
them whether you are dealing with a giant banana nut
muffin or the dislike of exercise.
