Читать книгу Steve Miller's Slimming Secrets - Steve Miller - Страница 31

Like millions of others, you may have repeatedly tried to lose weight only to keep slipping down the uphill climb that will eventually lead to the slim you. For most people, this has meant momentarily giving up and turning to chocolate bars for comfort, only to find yourself back where you started and as fat as ever, days later. To help maintain focus, many find that applying tough love works really well in ensuring their journey never deviates from the weight-loss ascent. In reality, this may mean giving yourself a kick up the backside when you are tempted to dive into too many bowls of crisps, drink too much alcohol, or not get your bum out of bed for a brisk walk. Yes, at times you have to be tough on yourself because tea, biscuits and tissues to wipe the tears (moping around!) often keep people fat.

Whenever you feel your attitude changing, and you begin to forget all those positive thoughts, or excuses start creeping into your head, apply a dollop of tough love. Tell yourself to stop moaning and get on with it! Be as tough on yourself as you can be, especially if this motivates you to get on with the job.

When working with my own clients, I simply refuse to grant them permission to spurt out a million and one excuses as to why they haven’t lost weight and done as we agreed. Fortunately, they know only too well that I won’t accept their excuses, meaning they get the results they deserve: it’s all about tough love.
