The first step towards attaining or maintaining an ideal weight is recognizing weight management is more about thought processes and lifestyle than food. Thousands of dieters start a fast diet regime every day, one that may indeed melt off a few excess pounds immediately, only to have an emotional issue or craving throw them back into making unhealthy choices. Understanding one’s relationship to food is crucial to reprogramming self-defeating patterns.
Secondly, creating a vast array of choices other than food for emotional needs and building a reserve base of alternatives for times when ‘chocolate calls’ or the smell of a favorite comfort food beckons gives the dieter an upper hand over old counter-productive patterns. A network of supportive friends to call or a planned activity to replace non-hunger related craving for food builds new neurological patterns that become healthy habits.
