Do You Need Discipline to Lose Weight?

Do you really need discipline, persistence and consistency to lose weight?

I recently read an article designed to sell a diet program. The author contends that you must stay on a diet for life to stay healthy. He also says you must adhere to your eating program 100% without deviating for even a second.

The message, pounded clearly into the reader, states that only discipline, persistence and power create weight loss.

Hmm. Did you ever hear the phrase, "What you resist persists?

How about, " What you fear will come upon you."

Forcing an issue will never resolve it. Focusing on it will keep you stuck in victimization.

The way to succeed at anything, including reaching and maintaining a healthy weight, is to let go of the fear, let go of the struggle and allow yourself В to be okay with what is.

When you accept yourself as you are, when you appreciate your body and all it does for you as the vessel carrying your soul through this В life experience, then your body will find its health including its healthy weight.

You likely heard about couples who tried everything to have a baby. They adopted a child then became pregnant.

Same principle works in gaining health.

Oh yes, you want to gain health not lose anything. What do you do when you lose something? You search until you find it. Think that is one reason people regain all they lose in diet programs?

Part of health is reaching and maintaining the optimal weight for your body.

One word about diets - if you feel deprived you stress yourself. Stress releases hormones that keep weight on. Enjoy what you eat. I mean savor its flavor and texture and the support it gives you physically and emotionally.

Then watch the pounds drop off.
