Generally speaking, no one person is overweight for exactly the same reasons. So it is important that that you know the “triggers” that set off your negative behavioural patterns that can lead to weight gain. Reverse those triggers and you will obtain weight loss and be more in control of your actions and have greater self esteem
Many overweight people suffer with low self esteem due to the cycle of negativity that is caused by overeating, lack of exercise, and feelings of failure as they often reason that they are not as accepted in society as those that are not overweight.
What can be the cause of some of those triggers . As an example you may have had a stressful day at work ,your reaction could be to go and eat foods that have high calorific values, not have any involvement in any form of physical activity that would burn the calorific value of those foods that you have eaten and therefore the result is an increase your weight.
You could therefore feel less negative about the stress that was caused at work. However the down side is you are likely to feel less self esteem and more negative about yourself because you have created more negative feelings by overeating and therefore will limit your chance of steady weight loss.
How can you reverse this cycle? For 2 weeks you need to record in a Diary of all your daily actions. Divide the diary into 5 headings for each day
What negative triggers I had today
Foods eaten (this can be divide into 3 sections for breakfast ,lunch, evening meal, also include any snacks
Exercise taken
What negative actions I took
What positive actions I could have taken.
This is very important record this information on a daily basis as it keeps it clear in your own mind what you have to do to reverse those negative triggers.
At the end of week 2 review your diary and make a small list of positive actions you will take instead of the negative ones. So if you have had the stressful day at work instead of heading to the food cupboard or eating “junk food” can you carry out some kind of physical activity or any other positive action. Volunteering to support others in positive ways is a beneficial action as it focus your negative triggers to positive ones in helping other people.
As you review your diary make notes on how you can change your eating habits, write down were you could have swapped a food that has a high calorific value for a food contains less calories and therefore increase your weight loss.
Talk to close friends and ask them for suggestions about ways that that they can support you when you have a negative trigger. However don’t try to copy what everybody else suggest they think is the right for you, these are your triggers and what works for 1 person may not necessarily work for you.
What can you do when you have a relapse? and carry out a negative eating action, look ,learn and move on. Don’t carry it with you. The longer you carry that negativity the more likely you are to carry out more negative eating patterns and thus remain in the overweight cycle.
Learn what makes you have negative triggers, replace that with a positive action instead of a poor eating decision and you will start to loose weight. Set yourself regular achievable goals and you will reach your desired result.
