Lose Weight – My Weight Loss Discovery on How Not to Lose Your Love Affair With Food
Anytime I find a weight loss book that begins with the mental mindset I know that I am on to something. If you have not realized that your mental state is the first key to achieving your weight loss goals then you would do well to make the discovery that I did. It’s a book by Dr. Becky Gillaspy entitled: “Lose Weight without Losing Your Love Affair with Food”.
Dr. Gillaspy has thousands of publications over her years in working with clients to successfully complete their weight loss journey. Her journey includes the sad days where food was her only friend and when you need to lose 40 pounds or more, as she did, it can be a challenging place in life.
She sees dieters as one of two types: Strugglers – which she describes in her book as those who hold on to beliefs and thoughts that subconsciously prevent them from losing weight, and Achievers – those that have ‘changed’ who they are and enable themselves to rise above the problem. To be the latter you must act instead of react.
As Dr. Gillaspy puts it her book: “Your mindset will always shape your weight. It is always impacting your decisions whether you want it to or not, whether it is producing good results or bad. Each thought that you have, every belief that you allow to live in your mind will shape your future.”
Her principles of change are extremely empowering. In the book she quotes Charles F. Haanel, Author of The Master Key System: “The only to keep from going backward is to keep going forward. Eternal vigilance is the price of success.”
Regardless of your current physical condition, do you appreciate your body or hate your body. Dr. Gillaspy will highlight the distinctions and help you understand the power of that frame of reference.
She shares her own insights and leverages other well-known authors to help you understand the power of living your own authentic life – and the empowerment that mindset brings toward your weight loss journey.
You’ll discover many principles and how to be an achiever instead of a struggler. As you absorb the material in her book, you will begin to realize the freedom that responsibility brings. The future is yours and you control your weight, shape and physical well being.
She wants you to change the behaviors that have led you to being overweight and she shows you how you can do that by changing your beliefs. And her book is filled with Action Steps that guide you along the way. Discover for yourself how to “Lose Weight without Losing Your Love Affair with Food”.
