The Psychology of Weight Loss Part 2 of 3 – How
8 February 2009 2:27 am
Welcome to Part 2 of this 3 part segment on the psychology of weight loss. I strongly suggest you read Part 1 – Why before reading this section. I also recommend you complete the four questions outlined in Part 1.
Part 2 focuses on the psychology of how to achieve weight loss, and gives you helpful tools to keep your head in the right place throughout your transformation. Self discipline, doubt, motivation, and choosing the right plan are just some of the topics we will discuss.
Re-affirming your choice
In Part 1 I outlined the importance of choice. You either choose to be the slim, healthy person, or you choose to stay as you are, and you do it from a place of love, not defeat, anger or apathy. There is no right or wrong. If you choose to be the healthy slim person, weight loss is just a side effect, it’s not what makes you truly happy. Who you are being is where the happiness comes from. So choose who you are going to be and do it from a place of love.
