Great Myth – Mind Over Matter

Okay, so here is the deal. Like I said earlier, losing weight is hard. Why? Because most of us LOVE food. We love cookies and Ice Cream and buffets and pop-tarts and Cheez-its…I could go on and on and on. The world makes all of these wonderfully delicious foods that it makes almost impossible for us lose weight. With all of that being said, no matter how hard it is to lose weight, it can be done. All of us have heard the phrase mind over matter, right? When most of us hear that our first response is usually…yeah right. But maybe you need to really think about that phrase. Try to think of something else in your life that you have worked really hard to accomplish. Maybe it is saving enough money for that family vacation. Or maybe that new car you’ve wanted. I guarantee there has been a time in your life that you were willing to give up something to get something that was super difficult to do. And how did you do it. My guess is that you made up your mind that whatever you had to do you would do, right? Same thing with losing weight…well….sort of. If you make up your mind that are going to lose weight and you want it bad enough, you can do it. Your mind is a powerful tool but you need to be able to flip the on switch sometimes. The biggest hurdle is how to do it. Well, I think I can help.
