A Successful Weight Loss Diet Starts from the Inside

If you're like most people, you've been on a million weight loss diets, from Weight Watchers and Atkins to South Beach and celeb diets. You voraciously read magazines for their weight loss tips and gravitate toward the headlines that promise you can lose weight fast. The chances are good that you have, indeed, lost weight on many of these diets, but the chances are even better that you've gained it all back - plus some. Your skinny jeans become your tight jeans, and then they get tucked in the back of your closet, along with your fantasies of becoming a size 0. That suit you used to wear just a few years ago, the same suit that fit you like a glove is now two sizes too small.

Weight Loss Diet Failure

You've probably bought into the propaganda that says you've failed at dieting; a different - and more accurate - way of looking at it is that the weight loss diet has failed you. That's because most diets focus on short-term changes that result in temporary weight loss, but never tackle the underlying factors that caused you to put on the pounds to begin with. In other words, they focus only on the "outside" problem - your body - and neglect everything below the surface - your emotions, your intellect, and your relationships. 

A diet for summer might work for the beach season, but if you don't strengthen your foundations before you lose weight, those Diesel skinny jeans and that favorite suit won't fit when fall rolls around.

Turning Failure into Success

In order to lose weight and keep it off, you need a guide that will lead you on an exploratory journey to discover the power and control that you possess. Then, you need to be taught how to harness those powers to achieve all that you want in life - including fitting into your jeans. 

You may have been told - either verbally or through insidious advertisements - that if you don't have power over your eating, you have no power at all. Nothing could be further from the truth. Every person is magnificent, and every person has mental, emotional, social and physical powers just waiting to be tapped. When you heal your past wounds, and recognize and reinforce the power within you, you've laid the foundation for permanent weight loss. 

Practical and Fun

If a weight loss diet is a drag, you'll never succeed in reaching your goals. On the other hand, if you have an empowering program to follow that is also practical and fun, you hold the keys to success. In fact, you can even drop a whole size or 10 lbs. in two weeks. 

The "secret" - if you want to call it that - is to adopt a well-tested exercise program that can instantly fit into your lifestyle. Remember, the success lies in simplicity, clarity, and practicality. 

Next, you need to adopt an eating plan that works synergistically with your exercise plan to build on the foundation of the inner work you've done in order to embrace your personal power and to maximize your probability for success. 

Remember that, with the right guide, you can do more than go on yet another weight loss diet; you can truly win in all areas of your life and achieve a better, happier, healthier more confident you.
