: THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INTEREST AND
: COMMITMENT.
: When you are interested in doing something,
: You do it only when it’s convenient.
: When you are committed to something, you
: accept no excuses from yourself, only
: results!
:
: WHY WE LOSE COMMITMENT
:
:
: Negative Thoughts
: Negative thoughts are the statements you
: tell yourself about your overweight
: condition and your ability to lose weight.
: Some examples are: telling yourself that
: you were meant to be fat so you might as
: well eat all you want, telling yourself
: that now is not a good time for you to lose
: weight because your anniversary is next
: week, telling yourself that you can’t diet
: now because you are too stressed out at
: work, telling yourself that you never will
: be able to lose weight so why try, telling
: yourself that you can’t diet now because,
: because, because-------
: High Risk Activities
: High risk activities are the activities that
: we knowingly or unknowingly allow ourselves
: to be drawn into where commitment can be
: easily undermined. Examples: We accept a
: luncheon invitation that we know will cause
: us to not stay on our diet. We go to a
: party and know we will really over eat
: because the food is there and we are suppose
: to be having fun.
: Sabotage
: Sabotage is the effect that others have on
: your ability to maintain your commitment.
: It is sad but true, that some people
: sometimes even your loved ones, do not want
: you to lose weight. Food is often used to
: show love and care or to make one “feel
: better” Valentine Candy is one example of
: using food to show love.
: It is easy to blame others for a failure of
: your commitment, but in the end it is your
: responsibility. How you look, how you feel
: and what you eat is entirely up to you.
:
: WHAT ARE THE ANSWERS?
: Tell yourself over and over again each day.
: “I choose to lose weight today”, I deserve
: to lose weight today”, “I will lose weight
: today”.
: For the next two weeks. Don’t accept
: invitations to High Risk Activities and
: after that only accept the ones that are the
: most important to you.
: Surround yourself with people that make you
: feel good and who will support and encourage
: you weight loss.
: Spend time at our Motivation Support Board
