There are dozens of diet programs out there these days all designed for weight loss; yet, most people still fail miserably when undertaking any diet plan. What is it that ensures that some people will be successful and others will fail again and again?
The answer may not surprise you. It all lies in your head!
Your "Mindset" is the single most important deciding factor for any diet to succeed. Without the proper mindset, anyone can fail, especially during the initial phase of the diet program.
Success is contingent upon the individuals thinking and mindset when trying to stick with a plan or idea, if you can get your mind to achievement-the body will follow!
One problem many dieters have is that they try to lose weight "cold turkey." Most people also decide to make a weight loss resolution at New Years.
If you were to head to the gym in early January you would have a hard time finding a vacant work-out machine! But come back in February and you would find that more than half the machines are available. This may be sad, but it is true, more than half of those who set out on a weight loss journey will not follow through with their resolution.
A great solution to keep you from falling into the "quitting" trap is to find a weight loss and exercise partner. You can hold each other accountable for staying on track and motivate each other to exercise. For some people this can be tricky. Not all people enjoy getting even a gentle reminder from a friend when they are not "in the mood" to stick to their diet or exercise program. Because friends tend to let each other slack off or because you could ruin a friendship in this way, it may be best to find a partner who is an acquaintance or use the help of a weight loss expert instead.
Another option is a social support group. This type of arrangement works as well as a partner but without out the risk of damaging a friendship! There are many Internet diet support groups that connect like-minded dieters and help to give each other support.
I have found that while these practices may be helpful for some, people can and do lose weight successfully without any social support, if they understand the secret to successful
