I Lost Weight Once... But It Came Back!
Summary
Many people manage to lose weight, but often find it creeping back?"and sometimes even more than before. Here's my journey and a potential strategy for lasting weight loss.Losing Weight Then Gaining It Back
Like many, I've lost weight several times, only to watch it return. Recently, I've shed 9 pounds and aim to lose 12 more. Yet, it’s getting tougher. I wondered: how can I keep those pounds off for good?
A New Discovery
As I ponder this question, I’m beginning to develop a promising idea. We know weight loss starts with the mind. Diets help us lose, but the challenge is maintaining that loss. Our minds often trick us?"like justifying a nightly ice cream habit.
The Power of Mind Control
While flipping through channels, I saw Oprah discussing her weight struggles. She sometimes gains a few pounds but manages to shed them again. Her secret? Mind control. Oprah exercises and avoids certain foods, but I believe her success hinges on controlling her mindset.
Transforming Our Thinking
Let’s break it down. If our thoughts sabotage weight loss, we need to shift our perspective. The brain is powerful and changing our mindset can be daunting. For instance, take smokers who quit after a health scare?"they realize the stakes are life or death. While we don’t want such drastic situations, we can learn from them.
Changing small habits could be our key. If we feel the urge to snack, delaying for 10 minutes is more manageable than waiting a whole day.
The Plan: Small, Sustainable Changes
Here’s a new approach: lose a modest amount, say 5 or 10 pounds, then focus on maintaining rather than losing more. It’s generally easier to keep weight steady than to keep losing. Will it work? I’m not sure, but what’s the downside? At worst, you maintain your loss rather than regaining. Plus, without the constant pressure of needing to lose more, you might even lose extra weight without realizing it.
I’ve convinced myself to give it a try. Today, I consider my current weight loss a success and plan to concentrate on not regaining. Anything beyond that is a bonus!
Good luck!
