Don’t rely on your willpower! Controversial advice – I know, but there is psychological proof for it, so please bear with me and I’ll explain. Most advice you’ll hear about how to get motivated and keep motivated when losing weight (or for any other goal in life actually), will teach you to rely on your will power for the support you need. You’ve heard it all, right? And did any of the advice work? You see – the problem with relying just on your will power to get you through the tough times, is that your will power is finite. Research shows that it’s like a muscle. You over-use it and it fatigues. If you don’t let it rest sufficiently enough to recover, it won’t be much use to you for the rest of the day....

They say “success leaves clues;” people who consistently follow their diet plan have several things in common. I’ve written this article as a way to identify the signs of a good diet plan. If these signs are not present in your current diet, you may want to make some adjustments to your plan. Here are the 5 Signs That Your Diet Plan Will Last: 1. You Love Your Diet Plan – Want to know if your new healthy diet plan will last? Ask yourself, “Do I love this plan?” If you’re excited about your daily food choices and how much yo...

While she was being helped at the register, I decided to venture off into the store to see what else they had in stock. Not too far from the register, I saw several items on the clearance shelves. I perused through the shelves to see if there was anything of interest; not much. The mix of colorful ribbon and Spiderman bookmarks on sale didn’t quite hold my attention. I continued checking out the products to my right and guess what I found? A small pile of children’s books! As I walked toward the books ther...

Not that exercise should replace other therapies, but rather should be used in conjunction with your current treatment plan.The exercise can be either aerobic or strength training allowing for a lot of flexibility in an exercise routine. According to one study examining dose response of exercise, the benefits for alleviating and preventing depressive and anxious symptoms are obtained when one engages in physical activity according to the public health dose which is roughly 1200 calories burned ...

If you're in the initial stages of improving your eating and exercise habits, you may be facing lots of challenges--but Motivation probably isn't one of them yet. You're probably still pretty charged up!But for those of us ol' timers who've been at it for a while: we do go through those inevitable cycles, don't we?First it's all: Whoa, I'm so awesome, this is Really Working and I'm Making Progress! Right until: OK, I'm still On Track but Gosh this Sometimes all Seems Like a Huge Pain in the Ass, right on down to: Screw it, I Hate This! Hand Me that Freakin' Remote Control and a Carton of Ben and Jerry's Right this Minute or I'll Bonk You On the He...

So Crabby will remind you. (This is one of those sort of preachy posts, sorry. They happen sometimes). But here's the deal:In order to succeed at any worthwhile long-term health goal (exercise, diet, stress reduction, whatever) you have to Give up on Being Perfect.Duh, right? But we all keep forgetting this all the time.The Pursuit of Perfection, and the all-or-nothing thinking that follows naturally from this delusional quest, is one of the two most lethal motivational mistakes you can make. (The other is Not Actually Giving a Crap--this is what happens when you embark on a self-improvement program because someone else thinks it's a good idea. They may be right! Still, it ain't gonna work).But unless you come to grips with your... Cranky Fitness blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=921885 Thu, 06 Sep 2007 13:40:00 +0100 921885
