If you’ve ever tried to lose weight in the past and/or are still trying to drop a few pounds, it can be frustrating can’t it?!
You want it NOW.
You want it FAST.
You want it INSTANTLY.
I know how it feels as I’ve been there myself many times, and I wish someone would have sat me down long ago, and offered me this valuable piece of wisdom…
Being psychotic, anxious and down right miserable will NOT help you lose weight, in fact it will keep it on.
Yep. Stress does that.
So RELAX.
And take some advice from one of my favourite health heroes, Marc David…
“We live in a world that has a love affair with speed. We want fast cars, fast Internet connections, fast restaurant service, and fast results when it comes to losing weight. If you’re the kind of person who’s been trying everything to lose weight but without lasting success, then maybe it’s time to get a little creative.
It’s time for some SLOW.
Slow is the new sexy….sounds good doesn’t it?
Consider this, if you really love something and thoroughly enjoy it, like eating or sex for example, would you really want to get it over within just a few mere minutes?
If something is pleasurable, wouldn’t you want to make it last?”
The takeaway – If you can slow down in life and enjoy it more than you are now, the weight loss will speed up.
Got it?
Frantic thoughts about your body, your weight, or your image will not help you get ANYWHERE you want to go. My advice, begin to take steps to do everything a bit more slowly, especially eating, and I promise you’ll notice some wonderful changes that only help you along on your weight loss or health journey.
Marc David is a brilliant man and I recommend his book “The Slow Down Diet” to each of my clients, and I recommend it to you as well if you’re ready to change your relationship with food.
Slow is Sexy!
