Do you believe that you need a better nutritional
strategy in order to lose weight?
Research has shown that chances are very high that
you already know enough about how to eat well and
lose weight. That isn’t the problem at all! Our good
friend Dr. Jeremy Dean from the superb PsyBlog points
out that, according to research, the greater challenge is
self-awareness.
Those who learn to pay attention to their emotions are
much more likely to make healthy choices and lose
weight. In fact, paying attention to your emotions may
be the most powerful weight loss strategy of all.
The study’s authors concluded:
“With a better understanding of how they feel and how
to use emotions to make better decisions, people will
not only eat better, they will also likely be happier and
healthier because they relate better to others and are
more concerned with their overall well-being.”
People with emotional training choose better foods
consistently. And that is the key to losing weight. And
here are some additional, equally compelling facts…
6 facts that show how emotions drive weight gain and
loss

1. Most people with weight issues tend to eat
mindlessly. In other words, their underlying emotions
determine what goes in their mouths, not their
conscious minds. When you increase emotional
awareness, you also increase your level of conscious
choice.

2. Most people assume that “comfort foods” reduce
stress, while this is a scientifically proven fallacy.

3. Most people, after receiving some basic emotional
training, are surprised at how easy it is to make better
food choices.

4. Most people discover that the negative emotions
they experience after overeating are actually
psychological attachments that they have been
subconsciously seeking (yes, you read that right — we
seek familiar negativity all too often).

5. Many people — based on experience in the AHA
Weight Loss Coaching Group, have discovered that
losing weight is the emotional equivalent of betraying
someone close to them.
For example, if you come from a family that tends to be
overweight, then there is often a deeply unconscious
expectation to be heavy. If you lose weight, you feel
strangely that you no longer belong in your family
culture

6. When you are in touch with your emotions, you
WANT to make healthier choices, so will power
becomes much more viable.
If you want to lose weight, don’t underestimate the
motivation, self-discipline and personal power that
comes from heightened emotional awareness. It may
be the issue that makes or breaks your success.
