Are You Truly Ready to Commit to Losing Weight?

Some major food manufacturers thrive on creating junk food with just the right amount of sugar, salt and fat in one tasty package. These food products are biologically and chemically developed to feed the brain's pleasure center. Losing weight also causes the body to signal that there's an energy shortage, which activates a region of the brain associated with motivation and desire, and not as a trigger for the area of the brain that promotes self-control.

When a food craving strikes, distract yourself by taking a walk, wash the dog, cut the grass, or take a deep breath and meditate. Purposefully using distractions can help you focus when hunger pangs strike. A conscientious effort to lose weight is a step in the right direction for anyone who needs to shed pounds. Mind controlling techniques are an option but not the sole answer to weight loss. So, speak with a weight loss specialist to determine all of your available options.

  • Tell Yourself You Can Do This - The reality is that you may not be ready to commit to losing weight or to work as hard as it takes to shed unwanted pounds. Identify what you truly want and it can play a huge role in providing the motivation you need to succeed.
  • Hold Yourself Accountable - Whether you like keeping it simple or prefer to track every little thing, it is essential to make an effort to track what you eat and what you do, so you have benchmarks for monitoring your daily intake and exercise.
  • Reward Yourself - Setting goals, making lifestyle changes, and working hard to achieve them is all about having the positive reinforcements in place to reward yourself with (non-food) guilty pleasure like a special spa day.
  • Start Moving in the Morning - To avoid food temptations and maintain your health and wellness, strive for at least seven hours of quality sleep every night. Sleep deprivation can quickly lead to hormonal imbalances that affect hunger.
  • Understand Your Weight Gain - Making tough decisions can drain your willpower. If you have a support system in place, the system can essentially take the decisions out of your hands.

The food industry with its billion dollar budget is quick to supply us with exactly what our exhausted bodies are craving — sugar, salt and fat. Unfortunately, this is seldom what our body needs. Health related quality of life includes the signs and symptoms of good health and disease, as well as any stigma you have about being overweight. These represent the self-perception of your physical, psychological and social functioning.

Other important non-diet factors that are key to successful weight loss include getting the right amount of sleep and physical activity to boost your body's fat burning ability. Stop thinking of yourself as overweight. A recent study on the stress hormone production concluded that cortisol is secreted every time you get down on yourself and worry about your weight. Unfortunately, cortisol is known to increase fat deposits around the abdomen (visceral belly fat).

I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience with MRC. I was pretty beaten down when I started here. I was at my all time highest weight. It has been a really great learning experience. I will continue to come in for the care and support. I love the drinks and bars. I like my body and enjoy buying clothes that fit and look good.
