Weight Loss Tips - Your Time is Now to Lose Weight

Have you ever noticed how all the weight loss ads on television begin? They always assume you have been unsuccessful in your attempts to lose weight. They remind you of the failures of your past, they may even mention the many diets which you have grown to know on a first name basis. Then they add the latest gadget that is supposed to work miracles and help you finally overcome the temptation which may have tripped you up so many times in your life. It's time to change all of that with a change in your attitude. Much of what you have experienced with regard to weight may be more a habit of thought than eating.

The first thing you must do is change the way you think about your weight. If you have a negative, depressed, inward-driven attitude about your present condition, it is actually adding to your problem with weight loss and increasing the chances you will continue on your present course. It's time to start thinking like a person who is thin. How? Here is an example. What is the first thing you think about when a friend asks if you want to go shopping? Let me guess. You think about all the places offering things that don't fit you. Start thinking about how great you are going to look in that new outfit.

Begin to think about how comforting control is, rather than how comforting eating is. You are in charge, not the food. You can control what you choose to think, not sweets. You will determine how you will look, not the donuts. You will make the positive choice to respond with wisdom, action and weight loss rather than with food when you are confronted with a difficult situation.

Learn how to live in the present. If you find yourself having imaginary discussions in your mind with people who bother you, stop it now! What is happening right now, where you are as you read this article? That is all that matters. It's all right now! Let the past go, let tomorrow take care of itself. You will embrace weight loss today. Look around you. Notice how beautiful everything is around you. Notice how comfortable your home is, how nice the fresh air smells, how nice the trees outside look. Listen carefully. I mean really listen. Your time for change is right now! Change comes from the inside out. Take the important step of changing how you habitually think.
