The
Sonoma Diet Detail - You're Not Alone
Everybody struggles with weight loss. Everybody fights cravings, and
gives in to temptation once in a while usually followed by
periods
when they feel like giving up.
It's important to
remember that you're not alone. Others
have been
through exactly what you're going through and came out the other side
slimmer, healthier, and happier.
What's happening is
that your body and mind are
resisting
change. It doesn't matter that the change is for the better, or that it
mostly feels good. It's still change, and your brain is hardwired to
resist it - or at least to be very cautious about accepting
it.
Think about how many
new habits you've been adopting.
You're
eating less food, more slowly. You're eating healthier foods in a
greater variety. You've kicked what was probably a lifelong habit of
loading up on refined flour and sugar. You've changed the kind of
dietary fat you're consuming.
Your body thanks you every day for these changes. At the same
time, though, your brain is wondering what happened to all that other
stuff you used to love so much. Occasionally it will remind you about
them. That's what cravings and temptations are - reminders of change.
They're just thoughts. And you can deal with thoughts.
