A client wrote, “Assist me! I thought I was finally getting a handle on my weight problem but the sugar is killing me. I had an awful day. I won’t even tell you what I ate nowadays as it is just so unbelievable. All I will say is that 90% of my food today consisted of sugar! I really, really need some assistance getting past these cravings. I am no doubt a sugar addict. If I could get past this there is no doubt that I will reach my goal.”
If you see a little of yourself in this message, you’re not alone. Lots of explain themselves as sugar addicts. They believe if it were only for that one thing, then they could reach their weight loss goals. If you suppose only one thing stands in your way of losing weight, take this into account: What if that one thing (an addiction to sugar for example) were gone? Do you truly believe, “If I could get past this, there is no doubt that I will attain my target,” or is it an simple excuse to stay stuck?
If I told you I could reveal you a method to stop craving sugar, would you want me to show you how?
Think about that a little bit. Close your eyes and really think it through. You’ve said if only you didn’t desire sugar, then you could lose weight, but is that really right for you? Ask yourself these questions:
Would you eat differently, and if so how?
Would you act in a different way, and if so how?
What else would modify, and what would stay the same?
What would you lose?
What would you gain?
Until you know what you want, understand you can realize it, and understand what else will vary (i.e. how your life may be unlike), you can’t find out any obstacles that first must be considered. For example, you may want to stop eating anything after 7 PM yet your husband doesn’t come home from work until 8 and he wants you to join him for dinner. That’s an obstacle.
If you’ve got a habit of watching your favorite Television show with a bowl of ice cream, then breaking that habit is one more obstacle.
If you don’t work out ways to defeat your obstacles maybe through conversation and compromise with your husband, or habit breaking exercises for your ice cream habit, there’s bound to be a problem. Just saying you’re not going to do something any mroe not often works. Instead determine what might stand in the way of achieving your goals, find a way around them, and you’re much more likely to actually achieve those goals once and for all.
The statement, “if this one thing were handled, then everything else would fall into place” is an “If Then” statement and gets people into trouble. They want a fairy godmother to make it all better. A strong faith that one single thing for example, “eating sugar is my problem,” sets you up to fail, in particular if you really like eating sugary foods.
Getting a handle on your cravings is not an all-or-nothing offer. You must leave room for infrequent deviations. It’s not the occasional side trip that causes weight trouble, it’s the road we usually travel.
