Stop Struggling With Food and Weight Obsession - Tip #1 - Break the Habit of Scale Hopping

Some people feel compelled to consider it daily, perhaps once every morning or several times a day. They can do it in an attempt to make themselves feel good or whether they know it or not, they often do it as a sabotage act that makes them feel bad. It promotes stress and triggers feelings of obsession around your diet and weight, which makes you touch and hate your body. When you feel bad about yourself, a party is usually just around the corner.

My Scale Cruise Experience

When I was a diver, I used to play scale games all the time. Every day, I make a habit of turning my bathroom scale on and off in various states of women's clothing and clothing, before / after meals, and dare I say it, every time I go to the bathroom. It drives me nuts! Jumping on my constant scale is like playing the lottery. Every day I would rise to the level of hope and hope for a lower amount and no matter how much I swear to myself, it wouldn't affect my mood, it always did.

If I lose weight, it gives me unconscious permission to eat at festivals. If I lose weight, the guilt of eating too much will reduce me to lower my stress levels. Depending on which way it goes, I either begrudging back to losing weight by tightening my belt and snatching more of my favorite foods or seeing weight gain often enough to send me screaming like banshee into the kitchen to dive head into the container close to Ben and Jerry's ice cream cookie oreo. But I never understood how that scale was affecting me until I started researching what is known as the mind-body connection. That's when I started to lose a lot of my weight watching habits and starting to learn how to live, eat and think like a naturally slim woman.

Mind Body Connection

There is a connection between your mind and your body that can make you sick or take good care of you. Your mind can make you fat or thin. The choice is yours! Dr. Nancy Bonios is the creator of the Beyond Dieting Program, a weight loss regimen that does not emphasize the importance of changing your mind and behavior to regenerate your body as you learn to eat whatever you want in response to your physical hunger. Dr Bonios says that in your thinking you are issuing all the wrong commands that order your body to do what you do not want; stay fat. Keeping track of your weight on a scale makes you think you are obese and you can't lose weight if you think you are fat. It's a constant reminder that you're still fat.

It's no secret that diets do not work, and research has shown that up to 98% of all diets fail, it is a confirmation that the deficiency pathway is defective. Most people who have spent years developing negative feelings and self-image. Your self image is a picture you own that defines what you want to do. It works like a thermostat, as it puts you in a certain comfort zone. This ultimately determines your success in every area of ​​your life.

To break the mold and change your negative and negative beliefs about your food and your body, you need to develop new habits that will lead to behaviors that make you feel safe around food and comfortable with your body.

Climbing on a scale will only light your fat circuit board and keep you stuck in the old mind like a fat person. To get out of that fat trap, Here are some reasons why you should stop watching weight and jump scales:

Scales don't always measure progress Perhaps the most frustrating part to consider is that the numbers on the scale do not accurately measure your progress. Scales only measure gravitational pull. It does not accurately reflect the size or density of the mass it measures. One pound of wool and lead pounds both weigh the same but the wool consumes a significant amount of space and enough space to fill the entire pillow case. Lead trees can easily be in the palm of your hand. In fact, you only need to lose a little weight to get to your ideal size. I don't know why this is so but it is. In the Beyond Dieting Program Dr Nancy Bonios tells a story that shares her experience by saying, "I personally dropped from size 13/14 to 5/6 and in the process, I only lost 10 pounds.

Weight fluctuates It is natural for your weight to go up and down all the time. It can vary by ten pounds up or down, depending on the time of the month, water retention, hormones, environmental factors and atmospheric pressure.

Scale Pressure Self-esteem is a form of self-sabotage because it is a way to exert pressure in your body, which connects you back to your diet mentality, giving you constant reminders that you are still overweight and making you feel powerless. This powerful "I'm fat" emotional message overcomes any progress you have made in trying to change your mind.

Tap into the wisdom of your body Naturally thin people never weigh themselves and therefore may not know about their weight. This is because they do not rely on external authorities to tell them how to control their eating. They have a safe, balanced and healthy relationship with food and they are guided to eat by listening to their bodies.

Take it easy. Change is never easy. To avoid the natural obstacles that come with wanting to make a difference in your life, it's best to be as close to yourself as possible. By gaining scale, you create unnecessary stress and tension and sabotage your progress. Dr. Bonios says, "Perpetual change requires an atmosphere of love and nurture, not self-harming and disgusting. Take my advice, and step away from the scale.
