Chapter 1: Setting Up the Weight Loss Mindset

Everyone understands the basics of losing weight; after all, it isn’t rocket science. Consume fewer calories than your body’s maintenance level, while still giving your body the fuel it needs to run properly. That’s really all there is to it. If, then, you are like many people around the world and have a hard time losing weight and keeping it off, then it may be time to reassess the situation and determine if it is your mindset, not your habits, that is really standing in the way.

To determine what type of weight loss mindset you currently have, answer the following statements either true or false. For every yes answer, give yourself one point.

I would prefer to lose weight mostly because I do not like how I look.

I understand that there is more to losing weight than just preventing myself from eating foods that I like.

Losing weight is only possible if I stick to my diet 100 percent.

I am ready to change my lifestyle to be more active.

Losing weight will help me deal with other problems I’m experiencing.

I want to lose weight because I want to, not anyone else.

I understand losing weight will likely require permanent changes in my habits.

I have put in the time to understand my current lifestyle and its flaws.

I understand that losing weight slowly but surely is healthier than losing lots of weight all at once.

Successfully achieving my weight loss goals is the only option, anything else is unacceptable.

If your score was above a 7, then your weight loss mindset is both realistic and positive, which means you are more likely to succeed in the long-term. If your score was lower than 4, you might have mental blocks that are preventing you from achieving your true weight loss potential. If your score is somewhere in this lower range, then the first thing you are going to need to do to change your weight is to change your mind.

Studies show that attitude and mindset is one of the most important things when it comes to losing weight successfully and keeping it off. Not only will this make it easier for you to build the positive habits that you need to maintain your weight successfully, but it will also make getting started a whole lot easier. This is due to the fact that what you think affects how you feel which, in turn, affects the actions you take.

Strategies for success

Consider why you eat: Quick, make a list of the top three reasons that are usually behind why you eat. If you are like most people then hunger likely didn’t make your list, nor would it if the list was extended another few places as well. If you are lucky enough to live in a part of the world where food scarcity isn’t an everyday concern, then you should consider yourself lucky and also understand how its constant presence actually makes it more difficult to control what you eat, especially if you are using it as a means of giving you joy or providing you comfort.

If you have ever found yourself staring into the refrigerator even though your stomach is still full from your last real meal, then you have experienced that the sensation of hunger can be triggered by a range of negative emotions including boredom, anxiety, stress, sadness, loneliness. For some people, the urge to eat can even be so strong, and so automatic that they find themselves eating something without having a clear idea how they got to this point.

This is due to the fact that feeling hunger in response to negative stimuli is a conditioned behavior that is learned over years of positive reinforcement. The process at play here is no different than what took place with Pavlov’s dog, where he trained it to salivate at the sound of a bell because it had learned that the bell meant food would soon be arriving. If your desire for food is a learned response, then the bad news is that it will require constant vigilance to kick the habit completely. The good news, however, is that just as it was learned in the first place, so can new,
