I Lost 16 Pounds by Developing a Healthy Mindset to Weight Loss!

For whatever reason, losing weight can be extremely difficult if you’re not willing to change your mindset. For example, research shows that it’s impossible to lose weight without enjoying exercise regularly or without believing that you can actually achieve your goals. If you’ve had trouble losing weight in the past, learn how to develop a healthy mindset that will finally allow you to shed the extra pounds once and for all!

1) The story of my weight loss journey
I always loved being active and playing sports. But as I entered high school, I started to get really into video games and I spent more time in front of the TV than ever before. That coupled with the amount of junk food that my mom was feeding me, resulted in me gaining over 50 pounds between my sophomore and junior year. That’s when I decided it was time for a change.
My first step was getting rid of all the junk food in my house.

2) Why I decided to change my mindset
I decided to change my mindset because I was unhappy with how I looked, felt, and what people thought of me. I realized that if I wanted this lifestyle change to stick and be sustainable, it would have to come from within me. This blog post is a detailed account of how I developed the healthy mindset that helped me lose sixteen pounds in just five weeks.

3) What a healthy mindset to weight loss looks like
Many people believe that weight loss boils down to calorie intake and how many calories you burn in a day. But there’s much more than that. I’m not saying it’s the only thing, but it is an important part of the equation.
A healthy mindset can play just as big of a role in weight loss as any physical activity or diet plan. When we think about our bodies in a positive light, we are less likely to binge on junk food or give up when something seems too hard.

4) How my weight loss journey changed once I developed a healthy mindset
My weight loss journey changed once I developed a healthy mindset. Before, I was constantly looking at the scale and what my jeans looked like in the mirror. But when I started thinking about my health, it made all the difference.
I realized that if I eat healthy and exercise consistently, then I will be able to reach whatever goal weight that I set for myself.

5) Tips for developing a healthy mindset to weight loss
One of the most important things I did was to keep a journal and track my progress. I kept it with me at all times so that I could write down everything- from how much food I ate, what time it was, my weight, what time I went to sleep, etc. It really helped me get into the habit of writing down everything and creating a routine for myself. This allowed me to be more mindful about what was going on in my life and feel like I had some control over it.

6) FAQ’s about developing a healthy mindset to weight loss
What if I don’t want to lose weight?
It is possible for someone who does not want to lose weight but still wants a healthy mindset. If you are in an environment where you are constantly surrounded by unhealthy food, it may be hard to stick with just having one bite of something that is unhealthy or trying out new healthy foods. It may also be hard for some people because their family members are all overweight and they feel like they need to eat the same way as them.
