Do You Believe in Your Diet?

Debra Waterhouse author of "Outsmarting the Female Fat Cell" writes of the OFF Plan that she created. In Chapter Four, Waterhouse states that you must prepare yourself psychologically for the OFF Plan and the the first  step in preparing yourself is "You must believe in it."

Why would someone every contemplate trying something that they didn't believe would work?

Believing is what makes all the difference in the world!

Would you try a diet if you didn't believe that it would work?

Would you try anything if you didn't believe in a positive outcome?

Think about 2 things that you do everything and expect to get some benefit from them. Do you truly  believe that what you are doing will work? Or, are you doing it because you feel that you should or possibly someone told you that you should, and you really don't believe in what you are doing?

Increasing Your Luck

Do you believe that your luck will be increased by carrying lucky charms, touching wood and avoiding the number thirteen?

The belief is within you, not the lucky charm.

Think about where these beliefs come from.  Are they something you were told as a child?

Is it a belief that has been passed down from generation to generation, like a family heirloom?

Or do you have a personal experience of your luck increasing with a lucky charm and now you have made it your belief.

Remember, if it's not something you truly believe in, you can let it go and create a new belief regarding luck.

Perfectionism

Are you the kind of person who feels you have to do everything perfectly?

Do you believe you are the only person who knows how to do this one thing exactly right?

Do you believe you must place unrealistic demands on yourself and others by using words such as "must', "need" and "have to"?

If you answer "yes" to the above, then think about this, wouldn't it be easier to change that belief?

Wouldn't there be a lot less stress if you changed your belief about perfection to something like, "A bruised banana is a perfectly bruised banana"?
