I would contend that the number one reason you sabotage your diet is not because you picked the wrong plan or even that you lack willpower; the number one reason you sabotage your diet is because of negative and limiting thinking. This article shows you how to control your thinking so you can stop sabotaging your diet.
You will always act in congruence with your thoughts, so if you have positive thoughts that say, "I enjoy eating healthy foods" you will find yourself eating a healthy diet with ease.
On the other hand if your mind is swarming with negative thoughts that say, "I hate to diet." then you will likely find little success sticking with any healthy eating plan.
If you sabotage your diet with limiting thinking then you will want to learn a simple strategy for getting in control of your thinking and to do this it is first important to understand how your negative thoughts lead you to act in ways you don't want.
Thoughts go in stages:
Stage 1: You have a thought. Not much you can do here, everyone has both negative and positive thoughts.
Stage 2: You let the thought spend time in your head and it grows. Now you are giving the thought strength and if the thought is a negative one you are giving it power over you.
Stage 3: You start to rationalize why the negative thought is right.
Stage 4: You act.
So by understanding that there are stages your thoughts go through before they cause you to act you can see that if you somehow disrupt the thought at stage 1 it is not able to grow. This is the key.
When you hear a limiting thought get control over it early by shouting to yourself, CANCEL, this disrupt the thought and allows you to shift away from it before it leads you to sabotage your diet or act in a way you don't want.
Do you sabotage your diet? If so start today to pay attention to the thoughts that travel through your head and cancel the limiting and negative ones that lead to sabotage and find a new ability to stick with your diet plan.
