Like most goals in life that are possible, you have to have a mindset to lose weight. You have to believe you can do it. As one women in our weight loss program wrote beneath her \u201cAfter Photograph\u201c – \u201c Todo es Posible \u201d (Anything is Possible).<\/p>\n
The ability to lose excess weight starts in our head.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cMy vision for Wonderland is to inspire everyone who experiences the sculpture,\u201d Plensa said last year when installation began. \u201cI believe the architecture of our bodies is the palace for our dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reader’s Digest recently published a review of weight loss\u00a0<\/a>based on scientific research. One of the recommndeatopn is to “Practice Mindfulness”. Periodically ,\u00a0People magazine<\/a>\u00a0provides inspirational stories about people losing 100 pounds. Each personal transformation has their own advice, but certain patterns and strategies emerge:<\/p>\n 1. Set non-weight goals. Like this month, I want to begin to walk 10,000 steps.<\/p>\n 2. Don’t get discouraged. Find a supportive environment . You can share your struggles and successes on our online social media support community SLIMDOWN\u00ae<\/p>\n Jon Gabriel, the author of\u00a0The Gabriel Method<\/strong><\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0a book in which he shares his weight-loss lost over 200 pounds without surgery. He writes:\u00a0” I lost over 200 pounds and have kept it off for over a decade, so I can tell you from experience that of everything I\u2019ve ever tried, there is nothing as powerful as using your mind to change your body.”<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t care how well you eat, how much you exercise, or how many books you read; if you\u2019re not dealing with the mental and emotional stresses in your life and integrating your mind into your healing process, you\u2019ll never achieve your weight-loss goals long term.\u201d<\/p>\n 3. Track your efforts. Write it down. How many glasses of water did you drink? Did you “go back for seconds”? Eat a big dessert?<\/p>\n The bottom line is if you believe, dream, or\u00a0want<\/em>\u00a0to change your habits, they become lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Like most goals in life that are possible, you have to have a mindset to lose weight.
