Perhaps the biggest challenge most people face when it comes to weight loss success and adopting a healthy dieting plan is weight loss motivation and effective strategies for outsmarting self-sabotaging thoughts. Can you relate to any of the following situations:
• You wake up each day and say, “Today is the day I’m going to get started,” but by noon your weight loss motivation deflates like a helium balloon?
• You reach for a glazed doughnut left over from this morning’s meeting, and alleviate your guilt by promising you’ll start tomorrow.
• A meltdown brought to you courtesy of your child makes you skip the green smoothie you were going to make and, by the time you get to work you’re so hungry and frazzled you walk straight to the vending machine.
• You have days where you’re rip-roaring ready to go and other days when eating well is furthest from your mind.
You probably already know what to eat and what not to eat, but life can be challenging and stressful, and having a healthy dieting plan can be difficult. For many, the missing ingredients are weight loss inspiration tools. Maybe you believe a common myth about diet motivation — that you are born with willpower or you are not. Research indicates that this simply isn’t true. Dr. Albers provides easy to use behavioral tips that are clinically proven to kick start your efforts and shift your momentum into high gear. Discover how to make the food decisions you really want to make and stick with them without fad dieting or unhealthy weight loss strategies.
In Diet and Weight Loss Motivation Secrets You Wish You Knew Dr. Susan Albers, a food psychologist, healthy eating expert, and author of seven books including the national bestseller, EatQ, and 50 Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food will help you find the motivation to achieve your goals. She will share the latest scientific research on motivation so you can understand what could be getting in your way and offer new and creative ideas to invigorate efforts.
A personal note from Dr. Susan Albers:
Every day clients walk into my door with really good intentions to lose weight, eat healthier, feel better about their body or boost their energy, but can’t seem to make the action happen. They feel stuck, as if superglued to their current spot. The good news is that they leave feeling energized and ready to make changes. For example, I have a client who wanted to break free from emotional eating but each night she came home from a hard day at work and snuggled up in her “nest’– a cozy recliner with her cat on her arm next to her, her knitting on her lap, and dinner and snacks resting on the arm of the chair.
What kept her from moving forward was her belief that nothing else would feel as good as munching and swaddling herself in her nest. First, we got the self-sabotaging thoughts out of the way. This intervention made a huge difference. The second most important action was showing her things that feel even better than munching in her recliner. Believe it or not there are and I will share these with you! You’ll also read more about how people like her, and you too, can easily change behaviors, enjoy weight loss success and a better relationship to food. My sincere hope is that you’ll find this book unlike any other dieting resource you’ve ever read and discover how to meet your goals whether it is managing your weight or to lose weight for life!
Take a deep breath and put aside all of your old notions that starving yourself, counting calories, taking pills, and working out like crazy are the only ways to accomplish your goals.
