If you are ready finally to get that fat
monkey off your back and those inches of your waist, know that what you do from
this moment onwards is entirely up to you. Of course, recognizing the hidden
‘enemies’ would be an excellent way to slim down or maintain your ideal weight.
But again the rest depends on you and you alone. Correct?
Overview:
Before we dive into the deep end of this article, let’s have a quick
bird’s eye view of the main points. For starters, most ardent weight loss
devotees are still unaware of these ‘enemies’. They go by the titles of:-
·
The
Seeming Supporters
·
The
Skeptics:
·
Double
Crossers
·
The Nay
Sayers.
Now that we have scratched the article’s surface, I believe
it would interest you to read more. True or not?
Secret ‘Enemy’ Type No. 1. The
(Seeming) Supporters
Seeming supporters will tell you that they want to help,
that they approve of your goal of
losing weight. But then they turn around and bring you gifts of food. They
tease you about your weight, telling you that they tease you because they care.
They tell you that dieting is just a matter of will power then proceed to urge you to eat.
Next up I would like to give a loud shout to ‘enemy’ type number two. Albright?
Secret ‘Enemy’ Type No. 2. The
Skeptics:
The skeptics may tell you that your weight is ‘is in your
genes" and that there's nothing you can do about it. They'll tell you that
your diet will never work or that you're
losing weight too slowly. Or that you're losing weight too fast. Then
they ten you that you looked better before you lost your weight,
Truthfully, if there is one thing I want you to take away from this
article, it is the ‘enemy’ type number three. Agreed?
Secret ‘Enemy’ Type No. 3. Double
Crossers
Double crossers listen and node when you talk about your
diet, and then they make you feel self-conscious about everything you eat. They
tell you that you would lose weight if you really wanted to. They eat in front
of you, or leave food around when you are forced to see it.
Happy? If
‘YES” then let’s fast forward to the final type! Any problem?
Secret ‘Enemy’ Type No. 4. The Nay
Sayers.
Nay-Sayers pull no punch, they just straight out try to
convince you to give up your diet. Nay-Sayers don't help you in any way. Their
lack of interest or support can lead to feelings of anger, hurt, or, for many, a
loss of confidence in your diet choice. They refuse to believe that you have an
addiction.
Summary:
Allow me to give you a fast rundown on how you and I can recognize any or all anti-dieting
‘enemies’ in sheep clothing. They could be ‘enemies’ as they can drastically cause
us to be overweight. First and foremost such ‘enemies’ goes by the name of
seeming supporters. Secondly, they can be nick named as the skeptics. Thirdly
such people could be recognized as the double crossers. And finally they go by
the concealed name of the Nay Sayers. Easy to remember and spot such people?
You bet!
Conclusion:
The article’s closing moments can
best be said that most successful dieters aren't afraid to do things their way to find tactics
that really work against the ‘darts’ of negative people And to use these ploys
when they work for them. Believe me, along the road to change, lapses are
inevitable for anyone. But in and of themselves, they're not necessarily
setbacks; it all depends on how you handle so called ‘enemies’ to your weight
loss cause. Changing unhealthy habits involves overcoming negative input of
others, researchers have found. Anyway,
with this article, if you can identify the stage of your weight loss program
where you are, you can take steps to spur yourself forward. Need I say more? I
guess not. Period!
