A “diet” by definition is just a way of eating. But we use the word mostly to mean a way of eating which is in some way restrictive.\u00a0 And it’s that last bit – RESTRICTIVE – which is the key here.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What happens when I tell you not to think about a yellow elephant?\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
You immediately see the yellow elephant, of course.<\/span>\u00a0?<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So what happens when I suggest that you don’t eat chocolate or have wine??\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Yep – you know it.\u00a0 You possibly want chocolate and wine even more<\/u> than you did before.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Telling a person not<\/u> to do something is well documented as a sure-fire way of making them want to try.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Much like the Big Red Button idea …\u00a0 you just have to press it, of course!\u00a0 It brings out the inner child immediately.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Treat Yourself Like a Grown Up\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
Just stop dieting.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Stop treating yourself like a child and telling yourself you’re “not allowed” to have something.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You’re a grown-up.\u00a0 Respect yourself as a thinking, intelligent, intuitive adult, who absolutely knows that chocolate, wine, chips, and burgers are fattening. Of course, you do.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\u00a0 WARNING – rant ahead\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The diet that is telling you that you cannot have any of the fattening stuff is the creation of a multi-national corporation<\/strong> that basically makes money out of your dependence. <\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Maybe you join the slimming club – \u00a3\u00a3\u00a3<\/span><\/div>\n
Maybe you also paid to get weighed every week – and have people clap for you.\u00a0Maybe you allow yourself to be berated by the person in charge when you gain a pound. \u00a3\u00a3<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Maybe you tell yourself you are only allowed to eat Weight Watchers bread. \u00a3<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe you get obsessed with manipulating your daily food allowance so that you can maximize your Slimming World Syns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Maybe you deprive yourself and say no to going out with family or friends for a celebration meal because the food is “not allowed”.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Maybe you feel like this way is the only – and best way – to lose weight.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wow.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Do you??\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If that’s you then – honestly – you’re not living your best life.\u00a0 You’re doing something which just DOES NOT WORK.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ok we know diets work short-term – but then we know that statistically, most people regain weight after a diet, and more.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My advice?<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
?Come off your diet.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
?Trust your intelligence.<\/span><\/div>\n
?Have less of the things you know aren’t so good for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
?And more of the things which are healthy – and that includes moving more for healthy body and mind.
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
?And associate yourself with people who will help, inspire and support you to lose weight the healthy way.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
