No More Diets - Do you want permanent change?
1st October 2005
Hi!
Sending this a bit earlier this week as I may be off to Newcastle (in North-East England) early tomorrow to see my Dad. He called yesterday to say he'd fallen and was in hospital with a fractured hip. He's 84 years young. Just waiting to hear news from the hospital.
Actually Dad is normally very sprightly - he has walked a few miles every day for years, cooks for himself and keeps fit and trim. A great advert for the benefits of walking and simple home cooking.
Doesn't help if you fall over a garden rake though!
Have a great weekend
Love

"The friendliest place to lose weight on the web"
In the feature article section just now we are looking at the four factors that make the difference between success and failure in your weight loss efforts
Last week we looked at increasing your level of determination. If you missed it you can find it on the No More Diets back issues blog at http://nomoredietsezine.blogspot.com/2005/09/no-more-diets-are-you-determined-to.html This week we look at the second factor - making permanent changes.
Feature Article : Do you want permanent change?
Going on a diet is seen as a temporary measure by most people. You go on a diet to lose weight for a particular occasion or just because you realise you don't like the size you are now.
If you stick to your diet (more or less) you'll lose weight. If you don't you won't. That much is clear.
Some diets are easier to stick to than others and therefore are more successful. Some are too unpalatable and you give up after 2 weeks feeling like a failure. Everyone is continually looking for the magic diet that will make the job of shedding pounds easier.
But there's a problem with diets. They don't work in the long term. By their very nature they are seen as something you do for a few weeks or months until you reach your target weight.
What happens if you are determined enough and manage to lose those pounds and reach your target weight? Do you stick to your diet forever? Did you even think about that when you opted to count calories or points or whatever? Or when you decided it was ok not to eat bread or rice or cheese or to live on special milk shakes and bars two meals a day?
Who wants to live like that forever?
So you go right back to doing whatever you were doing before. And you end up right back at the size you were before your diet - at lightening speed too. (It takes far less time and effort to put the weight back on than it does to take it off).
At least 19 out of 20 people who lose weight put it all back on again (and usually a bit more) within a year or so.
Special diets are all very well and good but the only thing which works permanently is to change your eating and moving habits permanently. And you can't do that overnight. Habits are made simply by repetition and routine. Anyone can make a new habit but you have to be open to change. And not expect, after you lose weight, to go right back to eating and moving at the same rate as you were before - the rate that got you overweight in the first place.
Step by step, day by day you can change those habits and never have to diet ever again. Are you open for that? Are you ready to succeed at losing weight permanently?
Or will you go back to eternally looking for the non-existant miracle that will keep you slim after you lose weight without making any changes to your current lifestyle?
It's a simple choice but you may not even be aware that you are making it as you set out on yet another diet. This time please think about it and make those changes permanent.
Next week we'll look at part 3 : A simple plan to follow.
