I have
been involved with Weight Loss for quite some time now. First as a
person trying to lose weight and then as a weight loss coach.
My
experience as a person trying to lose the excess weight and my with my clients
as a weight loss coach has taught me; It
doesn’t matter how much you know about what you ‘should’ eat. It will not
make a difference if you don’t implement what you know.
In my
days of trying to lose weight, I took tons of nutrition training, thinking I
just didn’t know how to eat. Once I figure out how to eat, then I am sure
to lose weight.
But no,
I didn’t lose weight because I didn’t like eating that way. I hated
eating vegetable ALL of the time. So I would suffer eating ‘healthy’ for
a short time, and then go back to my old eating ways, as I was unhappy trying
to eat better for weight loss.
Again
and again I repeated this pattern. And as a coach I have many
clients who know more about nutrition that I do. So why are they still
struggling with weight loss.
Because
they don’t implement what they know and their thing about the way they eat keeps them stuck. Now here is the catch.
Your body does not like change. It likes that habit you are currently
in. So just knowing about nutrition is not enough. You need
to learn how to change your thinking about your eating and understand why you
are eating what you do in the first place.
When you
look at eating in a different light – not what you should or shouldn’t
eat. But why are you eating what you do, and what you are thinking
about what your eating is the key to solving the weight loss mystery.
When I
learned to quit trying to eat differently and just took a look at my thinking
about my eating and looked at how and why I ate what I did…. Then I started
making different food choices without thinking about it being what I ‘should’ be eating.
So to
summarize. Knowing what to eat did no good at all. Only when I
changed my thinking about what I currently ate, did my food choices begin to
change. It didn’t change over-night. But when change happened it
stuck. And I slowly and surely lost weight – without feeling deprived or
starving, and without eating foods I hated. And changing your thinking
can work that way for you too.
Bottom
line is it’s not what you know about food, it’s what you thinking that makes
all the difference.
