No More Diets - Are you determined to succeed?
25th September 2005
Hi!
This week we have gone into a recycling frenzy at home in Edinburgh.
The local authority now gives us green bins for normal rubbish, brown for garden compostable waste, a blue bag for paper, a red box for glass, cans and textiles and a red box for cardboard and cartons. All of them go out on different days - some each week and some once every two weeks.
I think it's great for the planet but the stress of getting it all in the right place and out on the right days is driving me to chocolate.
Now where do those wrappers go? Will have to consult my 4 page guide...
Have a great week saving the planet wherever you are
Love

"The friendliest place to lose weight on the web"
Last week we talked about the four factors that make the
difference between success and failure in your weight loss
efforts
This week we'll look at the first factor in more detail and over the following weeks we'll cover the others.
Feature Article : Are you determined to succeed?
Determination separates the winners from the also-rans in almost every field.
If you're not determined to succeed, it's difficult to make the effort when you just don't feel like it.
And with the pace of modern life there are generally a lot of times when our energy is flagging and it's easier just to sit on the sofa in front of the TV and order take-away than do anything like cooking a delicious healthy meal or going out for a walk after dinner.
If you think back, you'll probably see that whenever you succeeded at anything, you were determined to achieve whatever it was you set out to do. You decided to do
whatever it took and you did it.
This may even have applied to times when you lost weight in the past. You lost weight by being determined to do so, but the problem is you put it all straight back on again unless you are equally as determined not to gain weight.
So how do you increase your determination? Or is it just something you are born with?
Your level of determination is not fixed at birth, but it does have to come from you. No one else can be determined to lose weight and keep it off on your behalf. But there ARE ways in which you can increase it.
Reinforce your determination in these ways several times a day. It takes very little time and effort for something that makes so much difference.
But the real trick comes with what you do next and this is a missing step in many self-help/success type processes.
Straight after you run through this little exercise, take some kind of action towards your goal. It needn't be a huge step or take much time at all.
You can use those moments in the day to plan healthy meals, go shopping for healthy food, get your gym kit ready, get changed into your running gear, do a few tummy squeezes or whatever. Just seize the moment.
This then generates momentum all of it's own. Reinforcing your determination and belief leads to successful action which leads to being more motivated and having even more belief in your success. A happy "unvicious" circle!
Try it and you'll see your determination (and with it your chances of success) soar.
Next week we'll look at part 2 : Changing your habits for the long term. This will deal with the putting weight back on again once you've lost it problem!

"The friendliest place to lose weight on the web"
Last week we talked about the four factors that make the
difference between success and failure in your weight loss
efforts
- an absolute determination to succeed
- openness to changing your habits for the long term not
- just to meet your target weight
- having a simple plan to follow that you can live with for life
- getting support
This week we'll look at the first factor in more detail and over the following weeks we'll cover the others.
Feature Article : Are you determined to succeed?

If you're not determined to succeed, it's difficult to make the effort when you just don't feel like it.
And with the pace of modern life there are generally a lot of times when our energy is flagging and it's easier just to sit on the sofa in front of the TV and order take-away than do anything like cooking a delicious healthy meal or going out for a walk after dinner.

Your level of determination is not fixed at birth, but it does have to come from you. No one else can be determined to lose weight and keep it off on your behalf. But there ARE ways in which you can increase it.
- Be absolutely crystal clear about what you will gain from losing weight and staying slim. Why do you want this? Think about all the reasons you want it for you and not just for others. Write down your list of reasons and review it morning, noon and night.
- Whenever you have a spare moment visualise how you will look when you lose weight and daydream how you will move, what you will wear and above all how you will feel.
- Unless you believe you can do this your determination will wane. So tell yourself often that you CAN do this to reinforce your belief. It doesn't matter what has happened in the past - you can succeed this time.
Reinforce your determination in these ways several times a day. It takes very little time and effort for something that makes so much difference.
But the real trick comes with what you do next and this is a missing step in many self-help/success type processes.
