Can they work?

Being even a little overweight today can be extremely difficult and is embarrassing for so many people. Today’s society expects men and women to look lean, toned and hard at all times. Tough standards to live up to! And mostly unrealistic. However, steady weight loss and improved self image are not unrealistic at all, in fact anyone can do it, quite easily, including you. However, far too often we look for that short cut and deep down we know it. The only diet that can work is the one you do for the rest of your life. If you can not change your eating habits easily then you have a relationship with food that needs to change. A part of the problem is food creators and advertisers know how to press the right buttons to forge an emotional response. Another part is the variety and the need to keep eating until our body has found the nutrient it requires.

Ask yourself:
Do you really want to be counting calories for the rest of your life?
Who is in control you or that little voice telling you what to eat?
Why do you find some foods irresistible?
Do your taste buds work?
Do you eat emotionally or because you are hungry?
