Thinking Too Much: How to Motivate Yourself to Lose Weight – Diet

Thinking Too Much: How to Motivate Yourself to Lose Weight
The Icon Reader

Its winter and its cold. In the winter the mornings are very humbling. The nights are long, the floor is cold and it sucks leaving the house in the dark. Getting the morning paper involves a blast of cold air from the front door that really motivates one to crawl back into bed. Its days like these that getting beyond the duvet is hard. Its even harder to drag yourself through the wintry morning to the gym. Its the kind of thing I think about before I go to bed. I think about it when Im waking up and I really think about it when I am trudging through the icy air en route to the gym. But see thats the problem. I think about it too much. Imagine if you could wake up every day with a clean slate and not remember the bone shaking cold and wind chill. Imagine you could only retain the positive memories of working out and improving your overall fitness. Then getting out of bed even on the coldest, most miserable days, would be easy. Instead we have to fight tooth and nail to resist the urge to go back to bed. Its our minds that want to be cozy.
For a fair portion of North America, this article will have little barring on your life as you fortunate few live in more temperate climates. But you look beyond the references to cold and see that what is really at stake is the ability of our minds to convince us that going to the gym is just far too difficult. It may not be a weather issue but your mind is a creative thing and will find some creative ways keep you from the gym.
This struggle can be fought on many fronts but be aware, you are fighting the most powerful force in the world: your mind. Your mind is responsible for determining your perception of reality; it literally defines the world in which you live. This power makes the mind a strong enemy of getting to the gym. There really is only one sure fire method to defeat this powerful foe. Stop thinking. Really. Give up the idea of beating your mind. On those frigid, bluster and bitter mornings, I dont even attempt to beat my mind. There is no way I can argue myself to the gym. I cannot win, my mind and its desire for the warmth of my cozy bed beats me every time. I win because I simply just dont engage it. I dont even let on that I am going to the gym. I dont even think about the cold, or the trip through it. I just dont think. It amazing how much you can accomplish without thinking. Whats more, its easy not to think in the morning. I think most of you will agree that first thing in the morning is when the mind is still at its foggiest. Kick it when its down.
The point is, you cannot give yourself the opportunity to talk yourself out of going to the gym. Forget about it, stop thinking and go. While your mind might feel a little neglected, your body will love you for it.

Change Your Thinking and Lose Weight – Diet

Change Your Thinking and Lose Weight
Kim Beardsmore

Are you a look-and-lose dieter Have you studied every diet ever created, read a zillion diet books, and yet are still unhappy with your weight
Has your quest for the holy grail of dieting become a substitute for actually making changes required to take the ill health out of your current diet
If so, you may not realise your thoughts are key to your happiness and success.
Do you look at yourself and say, "Im fat", or "My hips are too big" Many of us look in the mirror and immediately compare ourselves to those perfect human specimens we see every single day on TV, in magazines and in the newspapers.
Often we talk to ourself and make excuses, "Its my genes", "Im much too busy to get fit", "I like myself this", as a way of protecting yourself from the way we see ourselves now and the way we want to be.
If we were to be truly honest with ourselves most people actually want to lose a few pounds - if we only knew how.
The good news is you CAN achieve your desired body shape with the right thinking about yourself, an understanding of how to get optimal nutrition, healthy eating habits and how to incorporate activity into your lifestyle to keep your muscles toned.
But most important of all, you need a regular mental workout to keep your self-image in shape.
Self-image is closely connected to the success or failure of any goal you choose to seek after, but none more so that the goal to get yourself fit and healthy.
So how do you go about strengthening your self-image Well fortunately your self-image, just like your muscles, will respond well to a regular work out. You can actually strengthen your self-image with a few daily exercises.
Exercise One - Self Examination
Start by compiling a list of all those negative thoughts your have about yourself
