Stop pretending you want to lose weight

How many diets have you followed and failed? How many exercise plans have you started and dropped? This should tell you it is time to stop pretending you want to lose weight.

I am guilty of this, but finally realised the only option is action.

Mindset.

The hundreds of pounds lost and gained over the years are a testament to your inability to stick to a diet or exercise regimen. Yes, there are those of you who will blame genetics and yes, there may be genetic reasons. Some people may not find it easy to lose weight, but you need to try.

Why does my scale enjoy playing mind games with me?

Ridiculous beyond ridiculousness.

I can’t believe how my weight fluctuated this week, yet I have stuck to my diet.

Time is a funny thing.

It seems to move quickly or even slowly, but one thing it allows us to do is learning.

I haven’t posted to my blog for about three months because lockdowns have had us scrambling to keep our businesses alive. There was also a tragedy thrown into the mix which broke my heart and still does to this day.

I made time for reflection and I feel better about it.

I have written articles on this blog and a few months down the line all of what I have written stands as is, but I have a lot I could add to those articles.

What reasons do I have to continually overeat?

There may be many reasons, but it is unpleasant habits and laziness.

I find I eat much more when I sit and eat in front of the TV.

Maybe distraction leads to more eating during the show and afterwards. I needed to sit in the same place at the same time every day with a meal on a plate to break this habit of eating in front of the TV.

It got to a point where I believe I was looking for food the minute I sat down on the sofa in front of the TV. Sitting down and switching on the TV triggered hunger.
