'Why can't I lose weight?'

We are all stubborn and we like to think that we are always doing right, rather than wrong and when we claim to 'know' something we don't like to be told otherwise because we believe to 'Know' the right course..

Which can lead on to my next point on why people find it so so hard to shed pounds, and in turn seem to gain more weight than lose it.
We all have bad habits, because of how society has trained us and from things we have picked up over the years from family and friends so it is hard to drop these.

But most people 'believe' that 'will power' is enough to lose weight. When breaking small bad habits along with changing your mind set are key factors when trying to lose weight..

What most people need is to be self motivated..
It's important to illuminate these bad habits which all contribute to weight gain and negative thoughts...

so take a look at the following list and see if you have picked up some bad habits...

Not Eating on time

Irregular eating habits

When we skip meals and eat later and miss out snacks our body goes in to starvation mode, not only this we also crave salty and sugary foods. Which in turn makes us wanting to binge on calorific foods. And lots of them because we feel we've gone too long without any food. Therefore our body instantly stores all of this as fat. And the processed sugars all stick around the areas we least like.

People can be fooled when avoiding fatty or sugary foods, they forget about sodium filled foods which are equally as bad. Sodium rich foods contribute to water retention which make a person even more bloated. craving more salt and sugar and damages the kidneys which are a key organ for cleansing the body..

Binge eating is a popular and common cause of weight gain and a huge bad habit to break. But certainly not impossible.
Of course its obvious that its bad for ones health, that eating too much and burning off so little will of course lead to weight gain. But someone who frequently binge eats the common cause for this is usually psychological, with possible low self esteem and tries to escape negative thoughts with the uplifting feeling they receive from tasty food. Another common cause can be stressed levels. And unfortunately people reach for the high sugar content foods but these foods although give an uplift feeling they also have a viscous downward spiral effect, leading to more cravings and even lower moods.
So my advice for anyone suffering these kinds of moods, is to get deep inside your mind because that is in actual fact the source of the problem. It has nothing to do with physical change.( That part is easy) its the mental attitude. Because there is only one person stepping in the way of changing your lifestyle and its you. Your mind set and attitude towards yourself from past events, and upcoming events, comments which people have said or something you may have done or always done all effect your ability to change for the good. So you really need to look it in the face and say goodbye to all those hurtful negative thoughts if what you really want is to be healthy..
