Are You at War with Your Diet?

If you are at war with your diet, that means part of you is fighting the diet while another part of you wants to go on it. 

Surprisingly, this happens all the time. 

Here is a perfect example.  See if you can see yourself in this example.

A friend of mine was (and is) overweight.  He likes to drink, smoke and eat.  His wife, who is not overweight, was constantly harping on him to lose weight.

Finally, she hired a nutritionist to help him.  But, the nutritionist went about it all wrong.  She explained all about protein, carbs and fats and told him to cut out most of the carbs and eat more protein. 

But, that is all she said.  That is the physical part.  She did nothing for the mental or essence (spirit) aspects at all.

So what happens?  We go out of town on a job and after a couple of days on the diet, he is back to his old eating patterns. 

He was not congruent in his desire to lose weight.  In other words, his physical, mental and his whole essence were not in alignment. 

Unless, you have an overwhelming desire to lose weight for you, you are going to have a hard time on any kind of diet. 

Dieting is hard (losing weight is not - if you know how) and goes against most people's very nature of depriving themselves. 

You need something to overcome that nature and replace it with something else.  If you don't have that something else (that burning desire) then no amount of prodding from your spouse, friends or family is going to overcome what you are doing. 

There are things you can do to lose weight almost effortlessly.  And there are ways to overcome not having a burning desire.
