I hear it almost every day, “Dr. Stapleton. It’s hard! This whole weight thing is so difficult!” I agree. Weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight are very difficult things for many people. What makes it so hard? In today’s talk, I discuss the difference between behaviors that are objectively difficult versus subjectively difficult. It’s often the case that we say things are “hard” or “difficult” because of what we are thinking or feeling as opposed to any real objective difficulty. Take drinking water, for example. Drinking water is important for everyone, whether they are trying to lose weight or prevent regain. Drinking water is not difficult, from an objective perspective. For some people, though, they dislike water or the inconvenience of drinking water throughout the day. Listen in and maybe you’ll gain a new perspective!
