The quest for the perfect body, the skinny jean physique is rampant, yet we live in a culture, where it is more convenient and easy to eat foods that are contributing to our growing waistlines.  We get caught up in a viscous cycle of yo-yo dieting and following the next diet fad.  Which not only sabotages our ability to lose weight, but undermines our physical and emotional well-being. Getting Omega Burn can help you lose the extra weight.
What are the obstacles in the way of losing weight and feeling good? Brice and the team at ASCVS can give answers to these questions:
1)      Innate Humanness- In many ways it makes sense because our natural human tendency is to move towards pleasure and avoid pain.  Eating decadent foods gives us pleasure. It actually releases serotonin (feel good hormone) into our bodies.
2)      Battle of Time and Society– We barely have time to eat, how in the world do we find time to shop and cook?  In addition, we are constantly being sold and marketed to, society preys on our insecurities and weaknesses.
3)      Self-Sabotaging Thoughts– If you really want to lose weight and feel good for the long term, you need a clear “WHY.”  Why, you ask? Because you are embarking on a new journey, re-programming your body with new habits.  Your mind hates and resists change.  It will fight you until the very end.  Unless you have a clear “WHY” those self-sabotaging thoughts will always win.
How do we fight the battle?  We need to arm ourselves with heaps of self-awareness, massive commitment, buckets of patience and truckloads of self-acceptance and love.
1)      Small Steps Towards Greater Self-Awareness
The first step towards losing weight is to start getting in touch with you.  Many of us walk around with our head totally detached from our bodies.  In the mornings when you first get up, rather than just start your day, spend 10-15 minutes stretching and become aware of how you are feeling.  Get massages, massages have shown to help people develop a greater awareness of their own body.
2)      Commitment, Get Your Why
Being healthy is a revolutionary act, because you have so many people and interests that don’t want you to succeed.  We are constantly told by the media that we are inadequate and low and behold there is a magic something that will fix whatever ails us.  In reality, we are the only ones that truly can make ourselves feel good.  You have to be committed to the process, without commitment it will be too easy to lose the battle to food, time, society etc.  Create a list as to why you want to lose weight, following DadQuarters tips.  If the list is not compelling then the commitment won’t be there.
3)      Life Long Patience
Losing weight and becoming healthy is not something that happens overnight.  You are on a lifetime journey and battle.  As you develop more self-awareness you will not only lose weight but start healing your body, mind and soul.  Many people, when they encounter their first set back they quit.  Setbacks are inevitable; they are part of the battle.  If you fall off get right back on.
4)      Self-Acceptance and Love
Love your body today: chunky, fat, skinny, whatever your body is, love it.  You were only given one physical body in this lifetime and it is precious.  When you feed it with unhealthy foods, you are ultimately feeding your emotional void, not your body.
To your your health,
