Mindset for Weight Loss

About this ebook
There’s a popular saying – “If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you.”
When it comes to weight loss, this saying is your mantra. If you’re overweight or obese, in most cases, it’s the result of a sedentary lifestyle and poor food choices.
There’s no escaping this harsh truth. Your body is a reflection of your actions. You wear what you eat and once you proactively accept ownership of the situation, it’ll be much easier to make changes and get ahead.
Affirmations for a Positive Weight Loss Mindset
Affirmations encourage self-change when you use them. They act as reminders and inspiration to help you focus on your weight loss goals during your day. The most significant benefit gained from using affirmations is that they focus attention on your goals and promote positive thoughts through a considerable change in your life.
Your weight loss progress will mostly be determined by your diet. You’ll need to gradually cut down on the starchy carbohydrates, processed foods and junk food. You’ll also need to reduce your portion sizes.
Even if you’re making small changes, your body will resist because we’re all creatures of habit .While manageable, it’ll still be a challenge to stay disciplined and not drink the third can.
Accept this fact. Change will be met with resistance. Yet, change is necessary.
Old habits are hard to break… but they can be broken. The act of breaking them will mean proactively seeking to make changes. Since most changes take place outside the comfort zone, you can expect some inconvenience and hassle.
When trying to form a new habit, it’ll take time because not only do you have to overcome the negative repercussions of breaking the old ones, but you’ll also need to find the discipline to stick to the new ones – which usually don’t seem fun at all.
So, persevere until the habit is no longer a struggle. When you look for a weight loss affirmation, seek out a positive statement about your weight loss process.
By now you’ll realize that losing weight is a mental challenge and not a physical one. Step out of your comfort zone and make the necessary changes to achieve your weight loss goal.
“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” – Henry Ford

Are You Focused or Just Busy?
Losing weight is a journey and it's very easy to get lost if you don't know what you're doing.
There are thousands of people who decide to shed the stubborn fat every single day. They make big plans, overhaul their diet overnight, start hitting the gym daily, and obsess over weight loss every single minute.
In most cases, they quit after a while because the changes don't come fast enough. They have spun their wheels furiously and still seen no progress.
It's akin to not going anywhere but being in a rush to get there. There's a difference between being productive and just being busy.
In this article, we'll look at how you can adopt a proactive mindset to achieve your weight loss goal.
Make gradual changes
The first step is to accept that changes will come slowly. Once you come to terms with this harsh realization, you'll be much more likely to stay the course without quitting.
All changes to your lifestyle should be measured and gradual. Making sweeping changes overnight to achieve faster results will only tire you out and make you quit.
This applies to your diet, training, sleep habits, and so on. Be proactive in making positive changes whenever and wherever you can... but don’t go overboard.
Track everything
It's imperative to check your progress while you’re on the journey. Do not rely on your memory. Most people can't even remember what they had for breakfast two days ago.
Start a weight loss journal where you'll record what you should eat, what you actually ate, how hard are you trained, how long your exercise session was, how you felt at the end of the day and so on.
Remember to note down if there were any hiccups during your day,
