I know the extreme level of frustration that can come with trying to lose weight and how hopeless it can feel when you have all but given up on weight loss. At this point there are a lot of negative thoughts that get into your head and make the situation worse. This article shares with you how to break negative thinking when you are at that point when you have all but given up on weight loss.
The thing to understand is that your thoughts go through stages:
The first stage is simply having the thought and you can't do much about this stage because there is really no way of preventing negative thinking, everyone has these types of thoughts.
The trouble doesn't begin until you allow the thought to move into stage two which is where the thought is allowed to sit in your mind and it builds strength.
From this point on it is a quick transition into the last two stages where the thought starts to seem valid and finally when it causes you to act in a way you don't want to act.
For instance, if you have a thought that says, "I will never lose this weight." This is stage one and at this point it is not hurting you.
If you allow that thought to grow and you start adding to it, for instance, "Since I am never going to be thin, I will never get married, have a great job, have great health..."
So the key to how to break negative thinking is to catch the thought before it moves into stage 2 and cancel it. How do you do that? Very simply, when you hear the negative thought shout to yourself CANCEL. This disrupt the thought and gives you time to counter it with a more positive thought.
Do not give up on weight loss, there is no good reason you can't have this worthy goal in your life but the key for you lies in learning how to break negative thinking that keeps you locked in a place that prevents you from taking positive actions.
