Top 3 Ways to Trick Your Mind Into Weight Loss Forever

By Andrew Hamill

It's estimated that 80% of all people who quit a new weight loss of fitness regimen, quit within the first 60 days. Why is this? Why do we naturally return to the same habits and routines that doom our results every time? How can we stay disciplined and completely focused the whole way through?

The main reason why we never stick with anything or really put forth any effort is because there is a dispute between our conscious and sub- conscious minds and what they are focused on. The laws of the universe state that whatever you focus on expands in your life. Here are the 3 most important techniques that you can use to not only accelerate your progress, but to keep you fully invested and motivated on accomplishing that new you.

1. Never ever take your eye off the ball.

We get inspiration to lose weight from experiences in our life. Something happens that makes us look into ourselves and re think the way we should be living. We lose the inspiration to continue or even start because we go back to thinking about the usual garbage.
Make it a point to spend at least 10 minutes everyday visualizing yourself accomplishing your goal. Sit by yourself quietly with your eyes closed, and take long deep breathes until you are in complete relaxation. Then begin to paint a picture in your mind of you losing the weight or whatever your goal may be. It' s crucial to be detailed about the differences and to feel the emotions that you would presumably feel at that moment.

2. Sweep yourself off your feet.
When does it not feel good to get a compliment or praise from someone we trust, respect and we like? Never! In order to influence your mind to make the necessary habitual changes, you have to do a little sweet-talking to yourself.
Do this next step at least twice everyday for 5 minutes at a time. Go into a room alone and repeat to yourself over and over again, " Your looking stronger, younger and healthier everyday. "

3. Plan to reward yourself.
The most important reason why people never get anywhere in life in general is because they choose to go nowhere! Make a definite choice of what you want to change about your health or appearance and write it down.
Start with the big picture. What is your fitness goal in the next year? Whatever that goal happens to be, break it down into smaller and easier monthly goals. Then make a plan to reward yourself at the end of the year with something awesome. Cruise, vacation, sky diving, just think of something that will excite the hell out of you. Then plan smaller reward for each month that you accomplish your smaller goals. This way you can always look forward to each month and really stay motivated.

The Cost of Losing Weight

By Dan Buckner

We are so jazzed to lose weight that we, at times, are gullible and fall for every self-proclaimed diet guru on the Internet and blindly toss down our hard earned money, hoping and praying that this is finally the solution.

Here's where things get interesting, what are the costs of the trendy diets? The initial cost is to purchase the diet or join some program. Those early fees range from $30 or $40 for a book to several hundred dollars for a private course.

Next comes the food. Studies have exposed that the normal cost for food purchases, for each individual, is somewhat higher than $50, per week. Let's look at some examples, for the very popular South Beach Diet, add an extra $25 for every week. For Weight Watchers, the added cost is around $40, for Atkins around $50, for NutriSystems just under $60 and for Jenny Craig something like $80! Wow!

One would think that if you are cutting back on eating, you should be saving money. Right? However we don't approach weight loss logically, we set about the entire process via our emotions. That's what leads us to purchase things on impulse, to sign up for programs we know we'll in no way finish.

Skilled marketers know it and get paid very well to create 'traps' for which we often fall for. Have you ever called a 1-800 number at some point in one of those too good to be true infomercials merely to get something that doesn't perform as it did on TV? And what did you do with it? Probably stuck it in the back of a cupboard where it gathered dust until you finally trashed it, right?

When it comes to our weight, nothing peaks our emotions more. We want to be more eye-catching, more respected, and more desirable. We will even subject ourselves to agonizing and occasionally treacherous surgery to bring our reality closer to our ideal. And we will deprive our piggy banks, empty our bank accounts, and max our credit cards for anything that boasts us a sexy and slender future.

Every diet has their failures, but they never document that on their web sites or in the books. They might caution you that their program ought to be followed to the letter if it is to work, but how many of us can stay on a steadfast program for however long it is going to take to arrive at our ideal weight? We may well be creatures of habit however life very rarely cooperates for very long. We adapt the program to meet our immediate needs and everything falls apart.

Is there a better way? Let's look at it from another perspective. It doesn't matter which diet we choose. The secret is to concentrate on our emotions, that obsession with food that has reached disaster proportions. We have to change our eating habits and remember role that that food plays in our lives. It is to sustain a health life and not our primary source of self-satisfaction.

Don't be afraid to take the first step to create a healthy, fit and slim body. It is so easy to do nothing, but it takes courage to change your life. So take that first step and get your free 'Six Pack Abs Revealed' report. It just may change your life forever. Click Here for your free report.
