weight loss and resolve

Intellectually, we know all the reasons why we want to lose weight....the improved health, lessening the risks of serious medical problems, ridding ourselves of medications that would no longer be needed, looking younger, having a higher self-esteem, etc. Our intelligence part of the brain tells us these reasons daiky. Then why is it so difficult to follow through on this plan? Clearly there is another part of our brain that is instinctually driven that almost compells us to eat the high-calorie food sources.

To lose weight requires constant thinking and planning. To gain weight requires no thougjt at all...do what is fun and do what feels good.

Try to think of ways to allow the intellectual part of your brain to tise above the instinctual part. As soon as we stop thinking about it, we are almost guaranteed to go vback to old behaviors and that will result in weight gain.
