#1 Weight Loss Secret


Click on ANY Item to Learn More!


Are you looking for that perfect weight loss secret? You've probably read about diet, exercise, supplements, surgery and even medications. But what is the number one way to achieve a healthy body? Awareness!

In order to lose weight, you've got to consider all aspects of your life. Weight loss must be holistic-the body, mind and spirit. Many fail at weight loss by focusing all on the body or just the mind and maybe even the spirit. Remember, it is about being healthy. If you focus on something positive (health) you will do better than by focusing on something negative (fighting obesity).

In order to optimize your personal holistic, development-body, mind, and spirit-you must be fully aware of your self.

This awareness means that you need to be alert, knowledgeable and watchful.

How can you be aware and just what should you be aware of?

The #1 Weight loss Secret is to keep a journal-also known as a diary. Why is this so important? This is how you can become aware of the details. Success is in the details.

What Details Do You Need to Know?

A. When do you eat? Are you hungry when you eat?

Sometimes we eat when we're not hungry. In fact, often times we eat when we're not hungry. Sometimes we keep eating even when we're full. That is probably no secret to you! Certain foods can even trigger us to eat more.


Food and Mood? A Weight Loss Connection?




B. How do you feel when you eat? Many of us are emotional eaters. You may not even realize it until you write down what you are feeling when you eat. This will also make you stop and think before you eat. How many times have you reached for something to eat and gobbled it down before you even realize what you are doing? That is not eating about of hunger! So, what are your triggers? Anger, frustration, sadness, fatigue...?

You probably already know that one response to stress is eating without thought. The impact of Stress can be dreadful, and even threaten your life in many ways. Over and improper eating are just a few of the ways.

Stress and Emotions Self Awareness: What about stress, emotions and weight loss?




C. Know exactly how much you eat-both quality and quantity.

It isn't unusual for people to be stunned by the amount that they find themselves eating. By writing down what is eaten and how much, you can actually put a concrete number to the 'estimates.' Keep reading-I'm going to give you a simple way to make it easy!

Do you know how many calories are in your food choices?

How much fat-the good and the bad you eat?

Do you know if you are getting enough vitamins and minerals?

Are you wondering if you get enough Calcium?

One easy way to keep track of this is through Fitday.com.


Wondering what foods to eat and which ones to avoid? How about a few important TIPS to make it easy?


AWARENESS GRID

It is easy to make a grid to keep track of what you eat and even your exercise. You can use www.fitday.com or another similar program. The free account is good, and the purchased one is even better. It is a small investment with a big payoff. You can also make yourself a little grid for your journal. Make a committment to yourself and don't give up. It is good to have a 'buddy' or someone else to be accountable to. Start with a simple grid, write it big, colorful (however you want to keep it interesting for you) and keep it going. Include the following:

Date
Time
Food
Eaten
Mood at the Time


No need to do this all by yourself. Gather support and work together. Having support not only provides some accountability (in other words, you won't quit yourself if you know someone else is counting on you!) but it also gives you a sense of connectedness. Connectedness is one of your spiritual needs and supports your spiritual growth as well as your personal growth.

The ability to connect with others is just ONE of your spiritual needs. What are the others?
