Weight Loss Mindset
Do not start the journey of weight loss without setting yourself for success. Most failures (95%) happen in weight loss because this one important step is missed.
The secret sauce of all successes is mindset (75%), skillset (20%) and toolset (5%). We work hard in setting up the 25% of weight loss( plan, recipes, tools, scales and meters) but we forget the 75% success contributor called Mindset.
Here is a weight loss mindset I recommend:
If you want to use this as affirmation please do. Read it everyday.
My health is my responsibility. No body else but mine.
Like all beings in this world, “this” being (me) also needs my love and compassion from me. My body will not be able to scream when it is abused. I must be kind and compassionate to my body.
I have only one body this lifetime. There is no replacement. Parts are not available so easily as well. So I must take care of this valuable possession really well. I will guard it will all of me.
Weight loss is a long term project. I must not expect short term results. The outcome fallacy will make me impatient but some things take time. I must allocate 12 months to see good results (if you need to lose 15 kgs it is 12 months. If is 18 months if you need to lose 20 kgs).
Every action of mine has a consequence. My body doesn’t understand cheat days. It is a factory and it works with what I give as input. So I don’t want to be ignorant. Every time I reset my clock it will take me more time to achieve goals.
My willpower battery is lousy. So I don’t want to depend on it. I will setup systems and routines and depend on them. (If you don’t trust yourself, be a part of a like minded group for accountability).
Weight loss is a journey and a long one. I must get ready to travel this path without much distraction There may be set backs but i am determined to get back on path as quickly as possible. I will not miss things more than 2 days in a row. I will be consistent and earn my health.
Now go get ready for your weight loss.
