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.
In order to consider this in greater details, it is important that we look at programming. So, what exactly is programming? Well, what we are really talking about here at the end of the day is your subconscious mind. This is where your programs are stored and its the driving force behind any success that you experience. Your path will be determined by your subconscious, whether this is towards weight loss success of failure.
Our programming originates from everything we say, do, hear, and so on. This all adds up to create the beliefs that we hold. For example, if, when you are young and all of the way through your life, you are told that you will never be slim and that you'll never lose weight for good with any diet, this is going to form itself into a subconscious belief.
These beliefs will then shape themselves into your attitudes. You'll begin to have a bad attitude towards diets on a subconscious level and this will determine your feelings towards food and dieting. You feelings towards anything will shape your actions. So if your feelings towards diets is that they don't work for you or that you cannot lose weight successfully, you'll end up acting in support of those feelings, attitudes, and beliefs.
All of this, therefore, starts with your programming. If you have spent years battling against your weight then your programming will be all wrong. It will be preventing you from achieving your conscious goal of long term weight loss.
As the saying goes, 'what you believe you will achieve'. This is completely true but it works in both ways. So if your beliefs, which are created by your programming, are not right for long term weight loss, you will achieve just that - a failure to achieve this goal.
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.
