Weight Loss Psychology: You Must Think Thin to Grow Slim

"Weight loss starts with your dominant mindset. It is the psychology of your thinking that generates the power, the focus and the mental discipline for sustained weight loss. If you don't work on your mind, your weight loss effort will not work or be sustained. Reprogram your mind from 'I want to lose weight to I want to eat right. Eat right and nature will choose your ideal weight for you without all the hassles and rituals. This is simple but many weight watchers don't get it." --Uzo Onukwugha, MD

I always say that weight loss starts with the correct mindset. People's mind sabotage their weight loss efforts which is kind of unconscious. You see, what runs our life is not rational thinking but emotional input which is ingrained subconsciously in the emotional brain called the hypothalamus. It is here that you have the actual location or an association area of the appetite center for food and the thirst center for water. Both centers are close to one another. This is why most people mistake thirst for hunger and vice versa.

Now you can say that man is not a rational animal but an emotional being. We make decisions emotionally and rationalize logically. So is weight loss or whenever we decides to lose weight.

Going deeper than psychology is spiritology. We are spiritual beings trying to have a human experience. Therefore, if pressure or decision to lose weight do not come out of your heart, you are bound to fail. You must make that spiritual shift from your heart before external circustances line up to support your deep seated decision to lose weight. If the decision comes from your spouse, relatives or friends, it is bound to fail. Trust me this has happened again and again. Yes, this people may support your weight loss effort but the decision must come from your deeper mind or the mind of your spirit.

Subconsciously or unconsciously, we have an image of our ideal weight in our deeper mind which happens to run the script intalled in the hard-drive of our life that runs the movie of our destiny including the decision to lose weight. Whenever you make a rational decision, you must develop new mental disciplines to confront the new challenges that will be generated by that change; Otherwise the weight loss decision falls to the ground or when you start, you may not finish it or the weight loss patient may end up in a plateau. This is a situation where you don't know if you will go on or not with the weight loss program.

You must understand that the invisible rules the visible. The unseen world of ideas, thoughts, concepts, belief systems tend to cause an invisible glass ceiling or psychological glass wall that hinder our weight loss efforts.
Most people don't think about these new set of mental disciplines before starting a weight loss program or depriving diet regimen to lose weight. You must change your mindset about weight loss because the mind can be a treasure or it can become a thrash. The change in thinking will lead to change in action and behavior because you behave the way you think. You also think the way you eat and eat the way you think. If you doubt me, watch yourself closely especially the list of food items in your shopping cart.
