Ok, I'm just going to come out and answer this question right now. Yes. Mind-set is not only important for weight loss...its absolutely critical and essential. It is, in the fact, the foundation of all of your weight loss success.
In order to consider this in greater details, it is important that we look at programming. So, what exactly is programming? Well, what we are really talking about here at the end of the day is your subconscious mind. This is where your programs are stored and its the driving force behind any success that you experience. Your path will be determined by your subconscious, whether this is towards weight loss success of failure.
Our programming comes from everything we hear, everything people say to us, everything we say to ourselves, all of our internal dialogue, everything that we do, and so on. All of this eventually adds up to create your beliefs. So, for example, if you are consistently told that diets don't work or that you'll never be slim, this is going to be formed into a subconscious belief.
These beliefs will then shape themselves into your attitudes. You'll begin to have a bad attitude towards diets on a subconscious level and this will determine your feelings towards food and dieting. You feelings towards anything will shape your actions. So if your feelings towards diets is that they don't work for you or that you cannot lose weight successfully, you'll end up acting in support of those feelings, attitudes, and beliefs.
So all of this really starts with your programming. If you have spend your entire life battling with dieting and foods and your weight then you're always going to struggle. Your subconscious, simply put, will not be helping you, but hindering you.
As they say, what you believe, you will achieve. This works both ways. Its used as a motivational quote but if your programming and, therefore, beliefs are negative, then it will result in a negative response. You will always remain overweight if your programming and mind-set are not tackled head on.
This is the foundation of all weight loss success. However it is, unfortunately, hugely neglected to the detriment of the majority of dieters and anyone trying to achieve permanent weight loss success. So, what can you do about this? Well, this is someone I'll look into in another article where you'll get some handy tips on how to make weight loss permanent.
