Get rid of the "Spare Tire" through brain power

By Juli Decati


If, like most other people, you're hoping to shed some extra pounds, you'd be astonished as to what will help you get rid of those excess pounds. Healthy eating? Possibly, but that's just the beginning. Physical fitness? Yes, but the ultimate tool that gets you going - brain power.

The first thing that you should know is that there's no way to lose weight until you visualize. What does that actually mean? You're mind's eye must see the new you. Sometimes this is made easier by looking at a picture when you were lighter. If you don't have old pictures lying around, find an old pair of jeans that used to fit. If you don't have them, go out and buy them. Of course, get them the size that you want to be. Get a shirt the size that you want to be too. Hang it on your bedroom door, right next to the scale. Everyday you weigh yourself; you see what you will become too.

Get out a picture of you when you were thinner. No pictures of when you were thin? Go out and purchase clothing that will look great on you 20, 30 or 100 lbs lighter. Only buy your ideal size, not matter how small. Buy a sweater the size that you want to be, buy pants or a dress also. Put it in your closet so it's the first thing you see every time you open the door. When you see these items, you will be reminded of your ideal size each and every day.

Be happy with the choice that you have made to improve your life and get rid of that "middle tire". Start small with your food choices; you don't have to eat perfectly all the time. Eat healthy 90% of the time, and be realistic that you will crave unhealthy things. That way when you do eat something unhealthy, you will know it's a treat and not something you will indulge in all of the time.

There you have it for the mind and meals. Exercise and diet are, of course, the great weapons in your arsenal in the war against your weight. But this tried and true strategy is useless without enlisting your mind. If your mind is not convinced, you're doomed to failure no matter the diet or exercise regimen.
