Dieting is daunting – and ineffective!
Just use self-discipline. Eat less junk and more veggies. Exercise your buns off.
Ah, no.
Not my thing. Probably not yours, either.
What if you make just one healthy food upgrade a day?
That means a banana or apple with breakfast, or a vegetable with lunch, or carbonated
water instead of soda for a meal... just one healthy change from the norm. Even
on the worst days, you can make that one change and feel like you have forward
momentum. I went from just cereal to fruit on my cereal to only a bowl of fruit
and nuts for breakfast.
You might record your upgrades in your journal or
calender.
What is the difference between "What's one small
thing I can do to make this healthier?" and "Screw it, I'm going to
eat all the things." When you're working within a more reasonable framework,
when you stop with all or nothing thinking, you make more healthy choices than
you would imagine.
And you don’t have to fight with your motivation and
self-discipline (or lack of such…)
"Mainstream
motivational theory states that, in order to enact change, one must simply
"want it more."...it's a pity that we're not motivated enough to save
our own lives and live better. But wait...the weight loss industry made $64
billion in 2014. When that much money is spent on something, it means public
interest is through the thermosphere...people have willingly suffered and paid
money trying to lose weight, and they are still being told their desire for
change isn't strong enough. That's so wrong it's criminal...People have plenty
of desire, they just need a smart strategy that doesn't rely on doing the
impossible."
