Why We Gain Weight and How to Lose It

By Shawn LeBrun

Here is why we gain weight and the step to reverse it. Our emotions decide whether we gain or lose weight.

How you feel at any given moment will be the controlling force of your weight loss effort.

Weight loss is all based upon our feelings and I would challenge anybody to refute that statement.

We as human beings do things that bring us pleasure and we avoid those things that cause us pain.

Why do we decide to overeat or indulge in those things that may not be the best for us?

Because it brings us pleasure.

Think about many occasions in your lifetime in which food was the main focus.

When we celebrate with friends or family, we eat.

When we mourn a loss of a loved one, food again is there consoling people.

When we are nervous, we eat.

Sad, we eat.

When we are happy, what do we do?

That's right, eat.

So by overeating and consuming excess calories with excess food, we start packing on the unwanted pounds.

But it brings us short term pleasure to eat. If it brings us pleasure, it is emotion-based.

The instant pleasure of eating that Godiva chocolate or extra piece of pizza outweighs the pain and guilt that will come at a later time when you notice the scale starting to creep up again.

We do things at the moment that will bring us pleasure right then and there, often not thinking of the future.

So, if weight gain is tied to emotions, then it stands to reason that weight loss would be as well.

If we do things based upon pleasure, we must find pleasure in starting and maintaining a weight-loss and fitness program. If you do not recieve some pleasure from it, you will not continue it.

We must have strong enough reasons in the not-so-distant future that will be pleasurable enough to keep us motivated in continuing our weight-loss attempts.

What are some of your motivating reasons for you to reach your goals? I bet they are emotion-based.

Do you want to fit into that new bathing suit to impress your spouse?

Do you want to attract the person of your dreams?

Do you want to enter your first bodybuilding or fitness show?

Or do you just want to feel better and have more energy?

Whatever you chose, the benefit you will receive later on must be pleasurable enough so that you will resist the temptation of giving in and enjoying immediate pleasure of a piece of cake or scoop of Ben and Jerry's.

So how do you solve your emotions so that you are not tempted to give up and throw in the weight-loss towel?

First off, I don't think you ever solve the problem, you simply learn to manage your emotions better.

All of our actions are done because we get some sort of emotional payoff from them.

When you sit down at night and gourge on food that you know you shouldn't be, you are getting a payoff of instant pleasure.

In order to stop this, we must substitute that payoff with a new payoff of feeling better, looking better, or whatever it is you want badly enough.

You must prioritize what things mean to you.

Is the future pleasure you will earn for losing 30 pounds going to outweigh the pleasure of eating junk right now, at this moment?

You must ask yourself some hard-hitting questions. It often amazes me that we will often times walk right up to strangers and ask them out on a date yet we do not want to ask ourselves some questions that may help solve a problem.

Ask yourself:

What is it I am thankful for, right now?

What in my life would I like to change, right now?

Why do I want to change it?

What will these changes bring about, either now or in the near future.

What is it in my weight-loss efforts that I want to truly achieve?

Why do I want these goals so bad?

How will achieving them make me feel?

Do I really need this cookie/cake/ice cream right now or am I pacifying something that is not going right for me, right now.

How will giving in to these urges make me feel a little later, when the cycle of guilt comes back?

If you ask yourself some basic questions and learn to answer them honestly, you can start focusing on the things that really matter to you.

When you start doing what matters, this in turn will bring about pleasure because you will have a sense of purpose and a feeling of relief knowing that you are working on making things better.

And this in turn, goes right back to emotions and how you are feeling at any given moment.

Weight Loss Can Be Achieved: Psychologist Says 'Eat With Your Head'

By Anonymous

Syosset, NY, April 2, 2003 - If you think that you have tried about all there is to lose weight, you need to check with Dr Glenn Livingston, proponent of the very successful concept of weight loss through 'Eating with your head'. Whether you are a first time weight loss candidate or a chronic weight loss junkie who cannot seem to lose weight and keep it off, the 'eat with you head' program offers you possibly the only way you are ever going to actually achieve weight loss.

No newcomer to this problem, Dr Glenn Livingston has weight issues himself. When he speaks, he speaks from real torturous experience. He admits that he may not be the guy to get you all the way to your ideal weight, but he is the guy who can get you started to real weight loss and being at peace with yourself in the process.

According to Dr Livingston, "Most people do not really know what to think about weight loss. Even the experts disagree between themselves. Some say to eat very few carbohydrates, others suggest a low fat diet. Some say to eat mostly vegetarian, and still others say to eat only things you could catch with a sharp stick. Some say that animal fat is very bad, others say it is very good. So most people do not really know what to think. In my opinion what you eat is not really the problem, rather it is more about being motivated to lose weight. This is where the program comes into its own. No one else is talking about the real crux of the problem, being motivated to lose weight."

Dr Livingston's 'Eat with Your Head' program is more than you would expect from a package like this. It includes a 2 hour cassette, workbooks, access to specialty websites, e-books, recipe books, food management software and key guideline notes. Donna Andersen, from Waterloo, Ontario, a successful graduate from the program agrees that this is a truly successful and beneficial program, "Dr. Glenn's sense of humor makes the book thoroughly enjoyable to read. This book is a must for any dieter that has difficulty because of self-sabotage. I am now better prepared to deal with self-sabotage and other people sabotaging my plans. The self-examination tools really provided some insight as to why I was not succeeding in my diet goals. I now have the mental tools to make the changes necessary to succeed."

Dr Glen Livingston is an active psychologist in New York state. He has operated successful businesses and programs for more than twenty years. The package that has been recently upgraded to contain the most up-to-date information is now available from Dr Livingston's website, and from his business premises in New York.

Burn Fat 24/7 Regardless of Diet

By Anonymous

Hawthorne, CA August 30, 2004 -- Mymetabolism.com announces a free customized 10 week weight loss program. The programs are all online and are customized strictly according to an individual’s age, gender, height and weight. All programs are concentrated around increasing the body’s metabolism so as to burn fatter while building muscle. Programs are designed for anyone from 18-70 who have a desire for true weight loss. These programs have been documented to increase metabolism from 500% to 900%, burning more fat, continuously regardless of diet. Metabolic weight loss is known to stay off and is a more permanent weight loss approach.

It’s a known fact that the medical industry is spending millions of research dollars every year to uncover the reasons why metabolisms runs slow or fast in the human body and what processes can dramatically speed it up. Mymetabolism.com also sends out updated information biweekly, for free, updating the related research.

The metabolism acceleration plan is based upon insights received from highly successful body builders, martial artist and athletes. These rock solid pioneers have mastered the science of "Eating-2-get-Ripped."
Unlike other weight loss programs, mymetabolism.com focuses on eating complete meals, often during the course of a day. Meals contain all the essential components of protein, carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables.

The program consists of a repetitive engagement in a weekly routine consisting of seven sequential activities that dramatically increase the speed of one’s metabolism's fat burning process. These activities consist of food intake (6 times per day, including your favorite desserts periodically), water intake, resistant weight training, cardiovascular exercises, abdominal exercises, metabolism boosting supplements, rest and recovery time.

“Our system is free. We offer individuals the opportunity to sample our products to see what works best for their own individual system, all before finding out that there is a conflict,” stated William Alexander, metabolism research analyst of mymetabolism.com.

The programs are all online and cover what to eat, frequencies of eating (large variety of choices), water intake (amount), abdominal, cardio and resistant weight training. There are also “free days” planned where one can eat his or her favorite desserts and allow their bodies to rest and recover.

Mymetabolism.com also offers recipes, articles, newsletters and other information to help guide the health conscious consumer through this new weight loss concept.

More information and sign up forms can be obtained at mymetabolism.com.
