Your Mind and your Weight

As anyone who has dieted knows, diets don't work long term. There are literally hundreds perhaps even thousands of diets. Many of these diets offer magical results. Five and more pounds per week of weight loss is an unrealistic and in most cases an unhealthy, unsustainable amount of weight to lose.
The real goal is not just to lose the weight, it is to change how you think about food and the reasons behind any negative behavior or thought about food and yourself. Unhealthy negative behaviors are the result of lifelong programming. Until denial is overcome and the emotional pain is conquered no diet will be a permanent fix. In fact if you have a problem and do nothing about it, it most certainly will become worse due to the programming effect of repetition.
