10 Mistakes You Should Avoid If You Want To Lose Weight


Listen Later

Making mistakes is a natural circumstance of living as a human.

Self-blame increases the intensity of your mistakes tenfold.

Understand these ten mistakes, correct them and get back on track.

Show yourself a whole lot of love and kindness and you'll be ready to rock.

Here are 10 mistakes people make when they're trying to lose weight:

  • Mistake #1 - Believing that you can outsmart the brain with willpower alone
  • Mistake #2 - Having a diet that's too restrictive 
  • Mistake #3 - Blaming yourself for eating the "wrong" foods 
  • Mistake #4 - Not getting enough good quality sleep
  • Mistake #5 - Believing weight gain is purely physical
  • Mistake #6 - Believing that food labeled "healthy" or "low-fat" will solve your weight problems
  • Mistake #7 - Thinking you already KNOW why you can't lose weight
  • Mistake #8 - Not eating slowly and without distractions
  • Mistake #9 - Forcing yourself to give up all indulgent foods
  • Mistake #10 - Not getting out of your seat and moving the body

Final Thoughts

We all make one or more of these mistakes on our weight loss journey. It's human to err, right?

The key is not to get stuck on them and make a big deal out of them. Self-blame will set you back more than any other action.

Just decide to correct your mistake as soon as you can without stress. Take a deep breath, stay calm, and just keep moving forward. 

Be a friend to yourself not an enemy. Love and kindness are the way. I'm sure you'll agree that you're worthy of some love and kindness, am I right?
