How about, before you undertake another weight-loss program - weight-loss diet, exercise, or both - how about if you spend some time assessing what the real problem is.
In other words, be more specific; include more details than just this -
problem: I need to lose the weight
Not that there isn't a problem, it's just that it's not so helpful to state it in this way. What would be much more useful would be things like:
- I can't get enough time to even think about losing weight.
- I start off great on every weight-loss diet, but blow it by the second week.
- Any of the weight I've ever lost, I've gained back.
- I'm OK during the week, but I lose all willpower on the weekend.
- I think I might be afraid to lose the weight.
- I give up at the first sign of trouble.
These statements point the way to solutions. These are the kinds of issues that constitute the real problem, and if you can address them in a better way, they will take care of the simple problem: I need to lose the weight.
The more honest, specific, and realistic you can be about why you have the weight problem, the more power it gives you to solve it.
N.B: There's a tool called Diet Tuffy that can help you pinpoint and solve the real issues in a fun and innovative way.
