When we try to implement a diet program, our lives are generally filled with negative emotions such as stress, sadness and anxiety. This situation arises from the fear of failure. Everything will be very easy if we prepare ourselves mentally and act determinedly.
Some unrealistic evaluations of the person play a role in the continuation of the weight problem.
All or nothing
'I either have to follow my diet completely, or I can quit the diet completely with the slightest cheat'. This way of thinking leads individuals to abandon their lists completely with small breaks in diet programs that are started with full motivation. It may lead to both the continuation of the weight problem and the prevention of weight loss behavior.
In such cases, we must first question the reason for these escapades and then think about which healthy foods we can add to our lists instead of these foods.
Underestimating the positive
The mindset of 'I only lost 3 kilos, all that effort was of no use' causes the motivation and willpower of the individual who sets unrealistic goals to decrease. It may cause the achievements to be disregarded; It may disrupt compliance with diet and physical activity programs.
Do not set absolute rules
Thoughts such as 'I should not put any sweets in my mouth during the diet, I should walk at least 5 km a day' In this style, it is ignored that humans are living beings. We are not robots, every person's emotional state changes throughout the day and their behavior is shaped accordingly, we must do the best we can without going too far beyond our daily goals.
Overgeneralization
' This mindset of 'I will never succeed in losing weight, how many times have I tried so far' activates the stress factor. To eliminate this, you must trust yourself and the dietician you get help from.
Don't be affected
'I'm too fat, I have no willpower, I can't reach my goals' creates negative emotions in the person. Make it difficult to comply with the diet. We must remember that every day is a new beginning. We can achieve anything if we want. The only thing necessary for this is to believe, we must remove the obstacles we create in our minds.
