The Top 10 Weight Loss Secrets : 2. FIND OUT WHY?

The Top 10 Weight Loss Secrets : 2. FIND OUT WHY?
↪ 1. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF
2. FIND OUT WHY?

This is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT STEPS in losing weight and keeping it off....the big WHY. Why do you eat? I don't mean to offend anyone, but I'm going to assume that if you're overweight, you don't only eat because you're hungry, but for a variety of other reasons as well. A lot of people eat because they're bored, or tired, or they are just used to eating when they arrive home from work, or when they watch TV at night, or when they go out with friends, and the list goes on and on.

For many people, eating is a deeply emotional, and psychological issue. People deal with painful experiences in their past or present, and with insecurities in their lives by eating. Food as comfort. This is one of the most destructive patterns a person can have, and it goes in direct opposition to weight loss success.


I am not suggesting to know the specific reason why you eat, but I invite you, as painful as it may be, to really spend some time with yourself, and identify why it is that you eat, what times of day you eat, what emotions you experience when you eat, and what emotions you experience when you overeat. By doing so you will unlock a door that many people never even get close to. I can not stress the importance of this step. Until you determine WHY you eat, you will not be able to fix the problem.

So, step 1 is taking responsibility, realizing you have the power to change, and step 2 is understanding why you eat.

↪ 3. THERE ARE MANY PATHS...THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY
