The Losing Weight Process Starts in Your Mind


When I was fat, I remember that I was more and more upset but it didn't really motivate me to start a diet or to start to change my eating habits! At the contrary, I felt very angry with myself and I eventually eat even more and more junk food! Very paradoxal behaviour... I don't know if every fat person is the same but it is how I was / am. I had to touch the bottom of my "hole" to be able to take action for real! (Exactly the same thing happened when I stopped smoking! But that's another story!) So, I had to feel "ready" and wait for the good psychologic moment even if there isn't really a good or a bad moment! To help me and motivate myself, I started with a strict diet for 14 days in order to see my scale results going down. When you see your weight going down at about 2 pounds a day, it helps a lot to continue the process! I was thinking that I was going to find my correct shape again, fit in my old clothes and be proud as the others would tell me : "You have lost weight!!!". And you have to remember all that when you are hungry and want to eat extra food or between the meals! Doing that helped me to go ahead to lose weight pretty fast... I did the Scarsdale diet for 14 days and I lost about 14 pounds! That's losing weight fast and pretty safely too cause if you follow the Scarsdale diet (low carb diet) for 14 days you can't have deficiencies but don't forget to ask a doctor first! Always do that because he knows better than you! Here you can find a cheap Scarsdale Paperback book and also a nice overview of the Scarsdale weight loss plan...
If you get the idea to try this diet, don't forgeet to ask your doctor first!
