Mindset, Commitment & Fat Loss

Setting your mind decisively can be a really key tool to success. Not just in the context of fitness, dieting, eating well, training etc., but rather in most areas of life? Because NOT setting your mind decisively in advance of say, a temptation, makes it much, much harder to resist that temptation when you’re IN that situation. For many of us (raises hand) it’s often too late at that point. Making up your mind, setting your mind decisively in ADVANCE of a situation, really setting it (key word there is decisively) makes coming out victorious in whatever that circumstance or temptation is, much more likely.

Fat-loss success has a lot to do with setting our minds. Setting our minds to commit to our plans, which is more a commitment to ourselves than it is to our programs. It’s easy to commit to a diet the day after you ate 8000 calories of craziness. How about a few days later once you’re hungry again (another dieting norm by the way). If you’ve set your mind in advance, you’ll stick to your guns much more easily than if you just ‘take it as it comes’, especially through the more challenging days.

Make up your mind ahead of time. I guess ‘setting your mind’ can also be reworded as COMMITMENT. You’re either in or you’re out; there’s no such thing as ‘sort of’ committed.
