Stop Whining Or You’ll Never Lose Weight
I lost 45 lbs in six months by following the Weight Watchers plan. I attended the weekly meetings that Weight Watchers encourages (which are very beneficial). At those meetings there were a lot of people who were losing weight and doing great, but there were also those who were failing in their efforts. Here’s why:
The common denominator among those who were failing was that they complained a lot. “I was so tempted by that piece of chocolate cake!” they would moan. “I just couldn’t stay away from that ice cream!” they would whine.
On the other hand, those who were successful in their efforts never complained. Were they tempted by the chocolate cake and ice cream? You know they were! But they knew they could do it and stuck to their guns.
When you’re trying to lose weight, you need to build your will power. You need to remember what I was taught in Weight Watchers: “Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.” It’s so true.
If you’re always complaining about how difficult it is to lose weight or resist temptation, all you’re doing is demoralizing yourself and those around you. You need to focus on the positive: “I will resist that temptation.” Once you successful overcome an obstacle, pat yourself on the back about it! Share your success with others who are working hard to lose weight as well. It will encourage them and you to keep going.
It’s easy to complain, but complaining only drags you down and prevents you from succeeding. So stop whining and start losing weight!
