10 ways your Mind goes against your Weight Loss

1. You haven't planned your weight loss out and your mind still thinks like it used to think - planning is a huge part when it comes to being successful on a diet. You can not just buy a diet book and expect to have a great start the next day. You might be able to do some adjustments the next day that will let you loose some weight but to have a long term weight loss you need to plan carefully and have it mapped out in your mind and on paper.
2. You crave unhealthy foods and can't stop thinking about them - It will seem like you can not even focus for five minutes on your work or whatever you try to do. All you can think of is where the next candy, chocolate or bakery is. This is very common for the beginnings of a diet and has to do with the less sugar you are taking in. Your body can get addicted to sugar to a degree. Just remember that you don't really need it and those thoughts are going to go away.
3. You think it is too hard - for weight loss you sometimes need to push yourself beyond your regular comfort zone. Remember, it was that comfort zone that got you all the weight in the first place. Be realistic about it being too hard. Ask a thin person for advice if they think you are overloading yourself with stuff. I would say, be careful to trust your judgment on this.
4. You used to connect food with something else and now you think you are deprived in life - This applies when you always eat while watching your favorite shows on TV or you usually eat a lot when hanging out with your friends. It will drive you insane if you tried to still do those activities without eating. They won't be any fun anymore. Try to find a substitute for the food. Try some low calorie beverages for a change. Or make yourself a vegetable plate or salad instead of the high calorie foods you used to eat.
5. You think to diet is to be thin and conclude being thin doesn't feel good - this is a big mistake. Don't do it. Being thin feels great and in the end you will say that it was all worth it. Don't give in to the not-feeling-good thoughts. Remind yourself one more time that dieting is not always fun and feeling good. People don't like to change by nature and that is exactly what you are doing. Be proud of yourself when you are not feeling good.
6. You think you've been at this weight for so long, you can't get down from it on your own - that is completely wrong thinking. People don't go on a diet because someone else makes them. People find something that motivates them to loose weight and then they try to hold on to it as much as they can. Don't find someone else to get you to diet when you have been at a weight for a longer time. Go and find that one thing that motivates you more than anything else and use it as motivation for weight loss.
7. You try to do too much at first and then tell yourself that you are a failure for not getting it all perfect at once - weight loss is a patience game. Sometimes it will take time to find out what works for you. Some people do really well on low carbohydrates, others just need to exercise more to get their metabolism going again. Tell yourself that you are in this for the long run and that you are not going to quit. You have to quit to be a failure. Take it one step at a time, just never quit.
8. You still believe that there is nutritional value in chips and candy - it sounds so obvious! Chips and candy are processed so much that there is really nothing good left in them. Now some candy companies add vitamins to their products but seriously, a daily vitamin would be of more value to you. Next time you are hungry and your body tells you it needs nutrition give it something good and no junk.
9. You tell yourself and others that you don't like to exercise - this is a mindset problem. It is a problem since the way you see yourself will have an effect on who you are. Believe me, active people that like to exercise don't have that much trouble with their weight. So pick up a little of their mentality and tell yourself and others that you like to be active and exercise. You do want to look more like them, don't you?
10. When someone asks for your favorite food you are not naming a healthy one - This is another mindset problem like the one of not wanting to exercise. All healthy food is not that bad. Think of your favorite salad, a fruit you really favor or a way to prepare chicken. Just say that instead of pizza or pasta. It will change your mind and will help you become different.
