Knowing how to do this can make your journey to weight loss, health, and fitness SO much easier.\u00a0 Read on for my top tips on making weight loss not only easy but AUTOMATIC.<\/p>\n

I honestly had a moment when I could not find ANYTHING!\u00a0 \u00a0We’d just moved house. The removal company had brought our entire lives from one house to another. And everything was – quite literally – everywhere.\u00a0 If you’ve ever moved house you’ll know what that’s like.\u00a0 Even things I’d packed myself – I completely forgot what was where.<\/p>\n

It was a moment of panic. Tired and emotional … tears …. omg how do we do this.<\/p>\n

\"Chaos-in-our-lives\"<\/p>\n

We had created temporary chaos in our lives. It made me realize the importance of old habits.\u00a0 Those million things we do all the time, every day,\u00a0 but don’t even have to think about.<\/p>\n

You\u00a0don’t (usually) have to consider where your toothbrush is.\u00a0 You know instinctively how to turn on the kettle.\u00a0 Or maybe charge your phone.\u00a0 You’re able to make beans on toast whilst doing 3 other things at the same time, possibly whilst chatting to a friend.<\/p>\n

Our amazing brains internalize so much.\u00a0 We operate on autopilot all the time, making complex micro-decisions in the back of our brains without even being aware of doing so.\u00a0 Experts say that only 3-4% of our conscious actions are actual decisions. We have a set of rules, like a program, enabling us to be in control subconsciously of our lives and our daily activities.\u00a0 We (mostly)know where we’ve put things, how things work, and how to operate in a complex world. The internalized patterns are there, on autopilot.<\/p>\n

If that program no longer works after everything changes – like when you move house, or maybe go on holiday – your autopilot doesn’t work. The old patterns are not there.\u00a0 You know you need to create some new ones really fast because it’s stressful to be “out of control”.<\/p>\n

(I had that moment on Day 1 in this new house of ours, and it wasn’t nice.\u00a0 I had no choice but to create order).<\/p>\n

Now please go with me on this.<\/p>\n

Now please go with me on this …<\/h2>\n

Imagine this when applied to your eating\/drinking\/exercise habits. You usually eat and drink the same way most days, right?\u00a0 Most of us do.<\/p>\n

Now take it a step further.\u00a0 Imagine if your autopilot program is actually DAMAGING.\u00a0 \u00a0You might be perpetuating something in your daily life, without really making a decision to do so.\u00a0 You’re almost unaware that there’s a problem.<\/p>\n

Well, let’s say, every lunchtime you have a can of coke. Or every evening you have a glass of wine.\u00a0 Those are things that have become easy to do. So you keep doing them.\u00a0 They are nice. You do them because you would say you enjoy them.<\/p>\n

But those 2 things (amongst many others) may be responsible for the increase in your waist size which destroys your self-confidence and means your clothes don’t fit you anymore.<\/p>\n

My advice to you is to take action to BE AWARE of EVERYTHING that you put in your mouth to identify habits for a whole week. Yes, we know it’s well documented that the process of doing this will change your habits,\u00a0 But habit change is probably what you need if you are consistently failing to lose weight, and keep it off permanently.<\/p>\n

They say you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs.\u00a0 I say you can’t change your habits without it feeling bl**dy uncomfortable and difficult.\u00a0 But trust me – it’s worth it in the end.<\/p>\n

Switch your Autopilot Switch NOW<\/h2>\n

Here’s how to make weight loss and getting healthy really easy.\u00a0 But to do it, you’ll have to do something which will feel really difficult.\u00a0 You’ll need to take a long hard look in detail at what you drink and eat on an hourly basis.<\/p>\n

Yes, it will feel like a pain in the bum.<\/p>\n

Is it worth it?\u00a0 Hell YES!<\/p>\n
