Lose weight all the time? Then pay attention to these 3 points, do a good job of turning defeat into victory
Now is the Internet age. If people had no concept of losing weight in the past, now there is a surplus of information. Do you want to lose weight? Well, you can find countless methods on Baidu in minutes; do you want to learn related knowledge? Well, you can immediately find many columns and lectures to popularize your knowledge.
Losing weight requires more than knowledge
But with so much knowledge learned, sometimes it is still exhausting. This is the answer to the sentence "I understand a lot of truth, but I still can't live my life". What is the reason for this? We may habitually interpret these ideas as being unable to implement them because of insufficient execution.
But why does executive power show such a big difference in different people? When we can't explain it, it's easy to fall back on "fate theory", that is, some people are inherently executive and others are inherently lazy.
In fact, in terms of human nature, there is no diligence for no reason, nor laziness for no reason.
Let us look at these issues from a psychological point of view.

"Losing weight always fails? Learn these 3 tricks, motivation + emotional response + anticipation, to help you lose weight successfully"
- Starting from the motivation level, from external motivation to internal motivation
Short-term behaviors can be completed by external stimulation. For example, friends often say that they are greatly stimulated and determined to lose weight when they see those little fairies with good figures. However, friends who hold this mentality often fail to lose weight. The reason is that their motivation level is relatively low, which is completely stimulated by the outside world, and long-term behavior depends on internal motivation.
Long-term behavior depends on intrinsic motivation
Chunyu has a female friend who weighs nearly 90KG in her early 20s (he is only in her early 160s). She has lost weight many times, but only this time has been successful. Because she found that the weight has reached this level, it is no longer a problem of "no boys like it", but a serious impact on health. At that time, it was difficult for her to even travel, and the goal of losing weight accordingly changed from hoping that boys like it, to losing weight in order to survive and survive. This motivation was strong enough that she persevered.

- Pay attention to your catastrophic fantasies, so that you have the energy to insist on doing the right thing
Some friends occasionally eat too much in one meal and feel that disaster is imminent. It's like eating such a meal and all previous efforts are in vain - this is a cataclysmic fantasy (actually an emotional response that triggers anxiety).
In fact, if the method is appropriate, the usual diet is adjusted in place, and occasionally a day of heavy eating will not have a great impact on the weight, and it can basically be adjusted in the next 2 days or so.
In other words, Rome was not built in a day, nor will it collapse in an instant. In an instant, only our self-confidence collapsed.

If there is an occasional time when we can’t control overeating, we should be wary of excessive self-blame, and think about “is it my lack of willpower, or is there something wrong with my previous weight loss strategy, so that I can’t control the food at all? ?” Some problems that appear to be caused by weak willpower are actually inherent flaws in the strategy itself. In other words, most people use this strategy, and they have a high probability of losing weight, and it is not your problem.

- High expectations often lead to laziness and procrastination
Many friends say that they always fail to achieve the goals they set. This requires a specific look at the plan. Many times, Chunyu finds that it is not the executor that has a problem, but the goal itself.
For example, some friends' weight loss plan arranges the daily time like gears. It seems that as long as you follow the steps, you can lose weight. But the problem is that people are not machines, and implementing a plan requires effort. If the plan itself requires too much willpower, the plan itself is debatable. A plan that relies too much on willpower is often out of touch with reality.
A plan that relies too much on willpower is often unrealistic
When you blame yourself for being lazy and procrastinating again, it's time to take a good look at your goal to see if it's too demanding for you. Some friends also said, "I'm about to have a blind date, and I have to lose weight quickly." This feeling is understandable. Then you can learn more about why you attach so much importance to this blind date that you have to lose weight at the expense of your health?
Procrastination, not because of laziness, is often because we know too little about ourselves. Behind any procrastination, there are psychological resistances and corresponding emotions. Knowing these can release emotions and make your actions more effective.
