โฃโฃโฃโฃWe have vision boards of the life we dream to live and business plans to help plan for future growth and prosperity in our companies but when it comes to our health and weight loss we just expect our bodies to catch up, lose the weight and all will just fall into place. What we donโt take into consideration is the mindset we are in when we start our new diet or eating plan. โฃโฃโฃโฃ
โฃโฃโฃโฃ
Rather than focusing on how weight loss and healthy eating will change your entire life we tend to focus on the trouble spots (cellulite on your thighs or the fat around your abdomen) and all our attention and energy goes into self deprecating comments about our bodies and self worth.โฃโฃโฃโฃ

If you see yourself as overweight with no way out of it you are quicker to give up on your goals when life gets hard. This negative mindset can also affect your biology. Research shows that the stress hormone cortisol (which your adrenal glands secrete every time you get down on yourself or worry about how you measure up on the scale) increases distribution of fat around the abdomen.โฃโฃโฃโฃ

Small, sustainable changes that we have full control over (i.e. eating protein at breakfast or adding vegetables to every meal) rather than radically decreasing our calorie intake or doubling our efforts at the gym to burn more calories. โฃโฃโฃโฃ

True long term weight loss takes time as there are so many intricate pieces of the puzzle to consider before the body will actually drop the weight it has been holding onto for so many years. Start with short-term attainable goals such as getting in your 10,000 steps instead of losing a certain amount of weight by a specific date.โฃโฃโฃโฃ

What do you think about your body when you look in the mirror? What are the thoughts that swim around in your head when you put on a pair of jeans that are tighter than normal? When these thoughts sneak up on you, stop them by saying a loud - STOP. Then change the dialogue and tell yourself you are beautiful and loved.โฃโฃโฃโฃ

We are quick to build others up when they are feeling low but when it comes to our ideals of beauty and body image, we are incredibly hard on ourselves. The standards we adopt for ourselves are punishing. We would never hold our friends or loved ones to many of those standards. You deserve the same respect and compassion as anyone else; treat yourself like it.โฃโฃโฃโฃ

Taking a few minutes at the beginning of your day or beginning of your workout to set your intentions, and connect with your body can dramatically lower your bodyโs stress response. Breathe in through your nose for four seconds, hold for two and then exhale through your mouth for six. With each breath, the hand placed on your stomach should be the only one to rise or fall.โฃโฃโฃโฃ

Support from a friend or a health coach can help to remind you of your goals and self worth. Having positive energy and reinforcement around you when life gets hard can have a positive impact on your self talk, and the actions you take when it comes to the choices you make around your health.โฃโฃโฃโฃ
