3 Essential SELF Issues that Affect Losing Weight
Self-awareness
In order to make the personal changes necessary to successfully lose weight, you need to carefully consider the problem. How does your eating behavior affect your life? Does it conflict with you personal values? How would you feel about yourself if you changed your eating and lose the weight? Do you lie to yourself about how deep the problem goes? Do you rationalize too much? Do you keep going against what you really want for yourself?
Self-confidence
If you are low in self-confidence, losing weight can be especially tough. But you can build self-confidence as you move along your weight-loss path. A good way is to set mini-goals for yourself, things you can achieve and feel good about as you aim for that ultimate weight-loss goal. For example, can you practice alternatives to eating when you feel anxious? Can you set aside some time each day to renew your commitment? Can you begin to put losing weight at the top of your daily agenda? Each time you achieve a smaller goal, you add to your self-confidence.
Self-control
Self-control is made up of all the self-awareness, self-confidence, planning, energy, and thoughtfulness you bring to any difficult eating situation. It is not a magic ability that you are simply born with. It is all the work you do psychologically, emotionally, and practically to help you stick to your weight-loss resolve.
