Three Ways to Insure Weight Loss Success
Future Phase
This is the one that will get you through the tough times…the cravings, the “it’s just not worth it” times.
Future phasing is mentally and emotionally putting yourself there in your new body in such a way that you know it is just a matter of time and in fact, you often forget you aren’t already there, because you are living like that skinny person right now.
How do you do it? Start by cutting pictures from magazines of people doing and looking the way you want to look. Then cut out pictures from catalogues of the gorgeous outfits you will be wearing starting in just a few weeks. Put these on a poster board near your refrigerator or bathroom mirror or somewhere you will see it several times a day. For more on future phasing see this post…
Body Awareness Logs
Do you know anyone who has lost weight by maintaining a food log? I don’t. But I do know people who have lost weight by keeping track of what their body is telling them.
For example, keeping a body awareness log helped me find out that I am allergic to ingredients in many prepared foods as well as “food court” food, but not fast food. It also helped me be able to anticipate the onset of migraines. For more on body awareness see this post…
Write a Script
This one may have you scratching your head, but it is one that really helps with all those people who aren’t supportive and try to get you to eat something that a skinny ninny just wouldn’t eat.
Write a script of what you will say in those situations in the past where you have said, “I didn’t want to be rude” or “I didn’t want to hurt her feelings”. It might be something funny like “I never eat anything this healthy” or my daughter’s favorite “I never eat anything with a face” or something serious like “I have an unknown food allergy. I don’t want to take any chances of spoiling your party.” For more script ideas see this post…
