Working on the mind too

Weight loss is hard. So often we concentrate on the physical aspects of weight loss and not realize how much we have to work on the mental aspect of it. Have you addressed what got you to the weight you are? For me it was a combination of things. For one I think I am a food addict. I love food and was a former greedy girl! Some people turn to food for emotional support in good times or bad or both. Your success in your weight loss journey is directly tied to your mental connection with food. Stop the mindless eating, stop eating just because the food is in front of you and it's free, stop eating because you are happy, stop eating because you are sad. Look at food as nourishment, as fuel. Remember you get out what you put in. If you you eat healthy nutritious foods your body will respond with energy, better sleep, better sexual sensation. Everything! You benefit 10 fold by fueling your body foods that that promote your health and well being. The next time you reach for a second scoop full, another slice or an extra helping just stop and ask yourself if you are hungry, if you really want it, if you really need it, more than likey the answer is no so turn around and walk away.
