Why Weight Management Instead Of Weight Loss?
Simply because weight management works and weight loss doesn?t.
An obsession with losing weight will usually bring on a rebound where the weight is gained back ? and often more of it! There are three major causes for this phenomenon, and they have their root in the fact that each of us humans is a team of physical, mental, and emotional players.
The physical body needs adequate nutrition in order to stay healthy and active. We are not like a car that is built by someone, used by someone, maintained by someone, fixed by someone, and eventually discarded by someone. Our building and maintaining happens literally from WITHIN, through our own cell?s regeneration. When you think about it, it is quite a miracle. There is not a single cell in your body that was there 7 years ago, and most cells regenerate even faster. They all need adequate nutrition, an absence of pressure and toxins, oxygen, and movement in order to continue existing. Nutrition is the building supply for the cells. Water and oxygen are just as important, and movement or exercise is essential.
Whereas the heart pumps blood throughout the body and thus distributes oxygen and nutrients to all of your over 50 billion individual cells, lymph circulation depends entirely on movement. Lymph helps your body get rid of toxins and dead cells and is vital for a healthy and weight optimized body. This is why exercise or movement is such an important part of weight management.
Your inner organs all help to eliminate toxins and waste products from your body. As a matter of fact, even the skin plays a role in this process. They all depend on an adequate supply of clean water! Forget the diet sodas: drink water!
Concentrate on whole nutrition instead of fad diets. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Consider taking a vitamin and mineral supplements. Today?s commercial food sources are painfully lacking in essential vitamins and minerals. Eat until you are full, no more, no less. Eat slowly to allow time for your stomach to signal to your brain that you are full. It takes a few minutes!
Try this mental exercise: think or say the word ?LOSS? three times. Don?t we all have a healthy tendency to regain something we have lost? Of course we do. Avoid the word ?loss? when you think or talk to yourself about your body. ?Loss? is a self-defeating word. The companies that sell you expensive diet pills profit ? you don?t. Substitute the word ?management?. This encourages you to manage your body in a loving and responsible way. As a weight manager, you can balance your physical, mental and emotional needs when you set out to achieve your ideal weight and keep it.
Unrelieved play a big role in weight frustration. A normal emotion comes and goes. It is ?energy in motion? that passes through the body like a rain shower in July. When emotions are suppressed or unrelieved, they become chronic. The gentle shower becomes a thunderstorm that is unbearable. We seek relief in food, alcohol, or drugs. What is the feeling in your heart when your hand carries that candy bar to your mouth? Are you angry? Lonely? Sad? Worried? Whereas food seems to bring comfort, it really does not relieve these feelings at all. For a moment, it distracts your attention, and then you still feel the same.
The successful weight manager pays attention to his or her feelings and seeks to express them in a safe environment: perhaps by keeping a daily journal, seeing a counselor, or sharing with a trusted friend. Expressing feelings is not always pretty and doesn?t have to be. Instead of eating that candy bar, try stomping your feet or yelling out loud. You can also pound a pillow or go for a run. DO SOMETHING to let the emotional energy drain out of your body instead of ?swallowing it down?. See how others manage their weight.
