Ok I'm not gonna waste anyone's time here building this up and making you wonder whether or not mind-set is actually important. The truth of the matter is that mind-set is not only important, it is the absolutely foundation of long term fat los success.
To consider this in depth, we need to talk about programming. What do I mean by this? Well, we're kind of talking about your subconscious here. This is where all of your programming is stored, and this is what is really driving all of your actions and decisions. It is your subconscious that will determine which path you take...whether thats towards long term weight loss or consistent rebound weight gain from dieting.
So where does this 'programming' come from? Well, essentially everything that we hear, everything that we say, everything that we do...will all be programs that are stored within our subconscious and this creates our beliefs. So, lets say you're told by people that diets don't work. You will then start to believe this yourself and will begin saying it to yourself with your own internal dialogue. All of this will add up to create this subconscious belief that dieting doesn't work.
Your beliefs will then be shaped into your attitudes and in this scenario you will begin to have a bad attitude towards dieting. Your attitudes will then be shaped into your feelings and these will determine the actions that you take. So if you don't have positive feelings towards dieting and weight loss then you will never be able to take the appropriate actions to lose weight and keep it off.
So everything therefore starts with how you are programmed. If you have struggled for years with your weight and have tried multiple diets without long term success then you can be sure that your programming is not supporting you, but holding you back.
As the saying goes, 'what you believe you will achieve'. This is completely true but it works in both ways. So if your beliefs, which are created by your programming, are not right for long term weight loss, you will achieve just that - a failure to achieve this goal.
When it comes down to it, your mind-set is really the foundation of everything. Not only with regards to your weight, but literally everything both positive and negative in your life. Most dieters completely underestimate the importance of mind-set in achieving a permenent weight loss result, and they do so to their peril. So what can you do about this? Well, thats something I'll look at in another article.
