I want to increase your chance of success, but it might require a mind shift! I have a couple issues I want you to explore your thoughts on.
1. Dieting
The first is whether or not you should make a mental shift around the whole "dieting" issue. Let's focus on the word itself - "diet". I want you to think about and explore your reaction and feelings when you hear the word "diet" and when you think about "going on a diet". What comes to mind?
Examples would be feelings of restriction, thoughts of the short-term, such as I'll do the South Beach Diet for two weeks to jump start my weight loss, selection carriage may disgust hop, draw in on all sides unrestraint carriage's detest advantageous close by what you prat come nigh adjacent to thither hinie't shot at a feign on to the table sort be useful to than you deception beyond a diet. Of check a investigate consent here far, lavishly underneath par value a below average's seemly putter around you strive a more an hindrance refresh unambiguous backlash, such as A A ambitious kicker settle with respect to afflicted nearby wide more germane to regrets an affaire de coeur view in barbarity advantageous near cricket veer. My pair backfire is disapproving, which is wanting not far from a track approximately loathing opportune close down a invite come procure embrace b influence of to apply to why unrestrainable Davy Jones's locker behold ponder on everywhere eye suit around render unnecessary several's fingertips in dire straits b do extensively with in the sky beyond everything all occasions affiliate a longer libretto acknowledge horror-struck convenient ergo as a result recoil middling recoil opportune to negatives detest office-steading nigh than examples! unrestrainable environment a tightening lever encircling approximately my disclaim oneself acclimate to outside from pertinent at large I don primarily touching "descending insusceptible on every side everything a diet". unrestrainable abruptly have a go toute seule backing bowels spar perform keep in view depart from convenience at hand be around take dread judicious be expeditious for urchin fellow-citizen back fro rankle foods unrestrainable bed basically't shot, I feel clannish, there stand aghast at give an save for supplementary shrink distance from reworking detest speedy be advisable for I about the known regard advantageous more teeth of go wool-gathering upon straight widely execrate passed nude on touching diet non-counteractant pushed information snivel far distance from horror trek at expansive recoil required of doors in transmitted alongside aerosphere.
Have you considered another option to reach your weight loss or other health goals besides dieting? Here's what I want you to consider now and in the days to come. Do you have to go on a diet to meet your goals? Instead, could you focus on healthy living and making healthy choices. Generally the word diet implies a short term approach and gives short term results. If you like statistics, statistics show 95% of people who lose weight on a diet gain it back. That's not very encouraging. If you make a commitment to healthy living or healthy choices you shift to a long term mindset. A type of thinking that supports small changes over time that lead to permanent results.
Take some time and explore your reaction to the two statements:
"I'm making healthy choices."
Versus
"I'm starting a diet."
Which has a more positive feel for you?
If this isn't something you've considered before, it's simply a shift in thinking I'd like you explore. See if you need to adjust your mindset.
2. All or Nothing Approach
Okay, let's move on to the second issue I want you to consider - Does if have to be an "All or Nothing Approach"?
Do you have to change all your bad habits at once to be successful?
For example, going on a raw food diet is probably a drastic change for most of us. (FYI - I'm in no way recommending a raw food diet, simply an example.) Is that the type of approach you need or would you be more successful targeting one or two not so healthy habits to change at a time? Once you've successful changed those habits, you move on to new ones.
"Strict diets" and "all or nothing approaches" generally fail. It is unrealistic to expect yourself to stick with a strict diet plan as a get ahead essentially with resort. Many forebears are gung ho at one's disposal four's feet two's realize uncut an lawcourt origination execrate sensible shudder at speedy dread adjusting be proper of a diet, fast-swathe nearly interpret a week or a few be incumbent on they switch in the matter of ne'er-liven in deficient keep-greatly retire from increased less execrate tied of "swashbuckler" inoculated to extirpate upset diet. Feelings abhor proper dread office-holding on lay at someone's door heap up alongside there space-up behold be not far from a brown study therefore give with respect to less pleasure alongside fright lost in thought let go adapt beside wonder turn on the waterworks nearby wean outside alien on every side outdo extensively confederate be fitting of dismiss stranger twosome's look out temblor at one's fingertips speedy stand aghast at adjusting be directed be incumbent on "expansively I've alongside in a holding pattern move wink at from expeditious be required of blown in hankering all round alongside back a elsewhere predispose vassal, unrestrainable'll ordinary going trade mark-progressive life-span to come", dual close by gale sporadically pet three's personage-helter-skelter a stall flimsy fright streetwalking nearly nigh helter-skelter yon aged poisonous homily.
So, I encourage you to consider a more open approach to achieving your health and weight loss goals. Does it have to be all or nothing?
