Let Me Explain
Why I Created I Changed My Mind
Have you ever wondered why people don’t maintain weight loss? With so many different diet and exercise plans, why can’t people maintain weight loss?
It is because of your thinking. The same thinking that created your being overweight. Too often we are in denial or clueless to our thinking that results in being overweight. If the thinking that motivated being overweight does not change, diet plans are bound to fail.
There are many ways that people think that will destroy their attempts to lose weight and keep it off. In
I Changed My Mind, we have identified “I want to eat what I want and be lazy” as the generic thought process that prevents people from losing weight and keeping it off.
Diet plans basically deprive people of eating what people want. Deprivation is the key to understand why weight loss programs fail. When people are deprived of eating what they want, the conscious or unconscious urge to eat what they want becomes stronger and stronger. It is just a matter of time before the urge to eat what you want to eat overcomes eating food crafted by a diet plan. Regrettably, the lost weight returns.
If the thought pattern “I want to eat what I want and be lazy” is not successively managed, weight loss success is unlikely. A successful weight loss program must find a way to avoid deprivation of “I want to eat what I want to be lazy”.
We created I Changed My Mind to share with you different thought patterns that you can use to manage “I want to eat what I want and be lazy”. These thought patterns avoid deprivation. In order to avoid depriving patterns of thinking, it has been necessary to think outside of the box. We have discovered different ways to think and manage “I want to eat what I want to be lazy” without creating deprivation.
It will be necessary to add one or more of these different ways to manage“ I want to eat what I want to be lazy” to your diet or exercise plan in order to become successful.
