Timing is everything in weight-loss, as in life!

Timing is everything in weight-loss, as in life!

How many times have you planned to start your next diet next Monday morning?

Are you thinking of it right now? Does it worry you that you may have run out of time to reach your goals before the party season? What is that goal? Has it changed from what it was last year, last decade, or it is extremely ambitious and therefore probably unachievable in the impossible timeframe you’ve given yourself?

You know that this scenario results in you abandoning your attempt, before it even begins. If “The Monday-morning diet” approach worked, you’d have achieved your goals by now. It doesn’t because, in my experience, we set ourselves up for failure before we even begin.

This is where perfectionism meats reality. Guess which one usually wins out? Yes, you guessed it,  reality! It will interject in the form of an impromptu lunch date with a colleague, a birthday celebration with friends, a breakfast meeting full of pastries and temptation. It goes on and on. By Wednesday afternoon, you are likely standing in front of a vending machine lusting after a sweet treat. You’ve set yourself up for failure yet again.

This has to do with mindset. And you have the power to change your mindset this very minute. You need first to change your terminology, your understanding and your self-awareness. Suddenly, you never need to diet again. Monday morning or any morning! Right now, you can begin your weight-loss journey, without the gruelling diet mentality and punishing terminology.

It can’t be this simple! Can it?

Yes. It really can.

Step 1

Stop dieting. You’ve given that your best shot. What has been the result? Yes, you have learned that you can lose weight. But have you forgotten how fast that weight piles back on as soon as you resume normality? Given time, this has been your pattern. Why? Because you’ve suspended your reality through dogged discipline. This fades. Sadly. But it does. So give that up. Tell yourself this minute “I do not diet”. You deserve so much more joy in every bite than the negative connotation associated with dieting.

Step 2

Understand right now that “every bite I eat is an opportunity to build the best version of me”. Every meal, every snack, every decision is a positive opportunity to build the cells, the tissue and the form of the best, fittest, most fabulous me!

Logic that if you were to build your new dream home with the cheapest, shoddiest of materials, the thing would both look cheap, poorly built and questionably solid and when it comes under duress it would crumble. This is you. You rebuild every single cell in your body every single year. Who do I CHOOSE to be, right now, from now on, for the rest of my life? Health is a daily choice. My weight is a daily choice. I begin to choose better today.

Step 3

Preparation starts now. Tell yourself “my health is my top priority”. Right now, make your shopping list. Make your meal plan for the week. Set your goals. Take charge. Prepare for success. Preparation starts here and now.
