Ok, I'm just going to come out and answer this question right now. Yes. Mind-set is not only important for weight loss...its absolutely critical and essential. It is, in the fact, the foundation of all of your weight loss success.
To consider this in depth, we need to talk about programming. What do I mean by this? Well, we're kind of talking about your subconscious here. This is where all of your programming is stored, and this is what is really driving all of your actions and decisions. It is your subconscious that will determine which path you take...whether thats towards long term weight loss or consistent rebound weight gain from dieting.
Our programming comes from everything we hear, everything people say to us, everything we say to ourselves, all of our internal dialogue, everything that we do, and so on. All of this eventually adds up to create your beliefs. So, for example, if you are consistently told that diets don't work or that you'll never be slim, this is going to be formed into a subconscious belief.
Your beliefs will then be shaped into your attitudes and in this scenario you will begin to have a bad attitude towards dieting. Your attitudes will then be shaped into your feelings and these will determine the actions that you take. So if you don't have positive feelings towards dieting and weight loss then you will never be able to take the appropriate actions to lose weight and keep it off.
So everything therefore starts with how you are programmed. If you have struggled for years with your weight and have tried multiple diets without long term success then you can be sure that your programming is not supporting you, but holding you back.
As they say, what you believe, you will achieve. This works both ways. Its used as a motivational quote but if your programming and, therefore, beliefs are negative, then it will result in a negative response. You will always remain overweight if your programming and mind-set are not tackled head on.
This is the foundation of all weight loss success. However it is, unfortunately, hugely neglected to the detriment of the majority of dieters and anyone trying to achieve permanent weight loss success. So, what can you do about this? Well, this is someone I'll look into in another article where you'll get some handy tips on how to make weight loss permanent.
