| Article: Successful Weight Loss - by Robert Jager | ||
|
When most of us are confronted with the need to lose weight we usually
adopt one of the standard weight loss procedures such as exercise,
dieting, prescribed meals, or similar. When we fail, as most invariably
do, the only option now is to blame ourselves because it accepted almost
without question that these approaches should work. Perhaps we should
subject these techniques to closer scrutiny before we start laying the
blame for failure upon ourselves. Most of us are overweight because we eat too much. Simple as that. Eating the wrong food doesn't help, but it is more a function of amount rather than type that keeps us overweight. The thought patterns that underly our overeating have been built up over a long time and are so familiar to us that we perform them without being aware that we are doing so. Most weight loss programs suggest that we should now establish a new {restctive} set of ideas to guide our eating. What usually happens? While we concentrate really hard on the new ideas we lose a little weight. The moment we relax though, we resume our familiar thought patterns about eating and return to the behaviour that keeps us overweight, that is we overeat again. Realising that I had no chance of making conventional approaches work for, I set out to see if I could do something about this urge to overeat that had destroyed all my previous best efforts at weight loss. Unless we can rid ourselves of it our efforts at weight loss will amount to nothing in the longer term. After a period of trial and error, a way out of the overeating trap that most of us are caught in began to emerge. Ever so sceptically I applied the very simple technique and slowly but surely lost the urge to eat food that I simply did not need. And I lost weight, over a five month period I shed fifty pounds, or a whopping 28% of my bodyweight. A result that still amazes me. As well, because this weight loss occurred more than three years ago and I've had no desire to return to overeating, I consider the weight loss and lifestyle change that accompanied it to be permanent. While I will be the first to admit my ideas are a little different, they should not present a problem to anybody who is open minded enough to try something new. And they do address the real reason that most people are overweight, ie the thought patterns that cause us to overeat. I will close by saying that nothing else I have ever done has relieved me of the sense of failure as effectively as has successfully losing weight and keeping it off. Regards Rob Jager |
