Simplified - How Can I Diet Hassle-Free

By Scott Edwards

Mental mind pictures spring into our head when we think of our ideal life scenario. Maybe we see a more prestigious home or a stylish vehicle in our mind's eye. Nearly every one of us will picture ourselves as slimmer and more attractive, with stylish clothes to wear.

Dreaming of these things tells us what we'd love to have in the next few years - which is a good way to fire up a goal plan. If we don't have an idea of how things will be when we've made it, the chances are we'll never get there.

But before we can have all these great things, we have to be prepared to make some changes. "The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect different results." In the words of Einstein. Put simply, we won't move on if we stick to what we've always done.

We need to not only massively change the way we do things, but also massively change the way we think. Only then will we make big steps forward in what we have. Not a big revelation then to realise that a smidgen of exertion will be needed to get the things we want to have. It's a basic law of life that we have to give in order to receive. Though effort alone won't inevitably bring results.

Those who achieve their life's goals adopt and internalise those goals long before they become a reality. That means if our goal is to reduce our weight by thirty pounds in the next year, we have to become a diligent diet student and stick to a certain amount of work-out time every week.

Working out each day has to come before meeting up with friends. The success mind-set says there'll be lots more time for leisure later on (and more energy to enjoy it!) if the effort is put in first. A healthy attitude to dieting makes the slimming process easier, and brings results much faster.

Victory won't come looking for us. A robust attitude to our efforts will support us when we experience the knocks.

We can associate with winning attitudes by reading, watching films and interviews of others who've overcome adversities on their road to victory. A common philosophy seems to be apparent each time - their beliefs and attitudes were strong from the start. So the formula is apparent - to have what we want, and relish the tasks we need to do, we must first embrace who we have to be.
