There are many obstacles that are common to people who struggle with their weight regardless of their social status, upbringing or genetic makeup. Chief among these obstacles is a feeling that even when they try to exercise and eat right they cannot lose weight and keep it off. You can do all the right things, you can eat less sugar, cut back on your portion sizes, and start a walking program and even though you are doing all these things your weight still doesn't drop. What is the problem?! Well, it's not that you are lazy - you're not. It is not that your body doesn't work right or there is something wrong with you. The problem is that your plan is incomplete. It is possible to lose weight by using diet and exercise alone but unfortunately this typically requires a fair amount of willpower and only 5% of people who lose weight this way will keep it off. However, by adding the missing piece you can greatly increase your ability to lose weight and maintain that weight loss. What is missing? It is called your Weight Mindset and it is a powerful predictor of your weight loss success or failure. It is the missing link that determines whether you will successfully shift to a healthier lifestyle or return to your old habits and it has nothing to do with willpower. Your Weight Mindset is a collection of the thoughts, feelings and beliefs you have in your head about food, dieting and your weight. It began to form when you were a child and it has been developing and refining inside you ever since. It is a part of your subconscious mind so it operates below your conscious awareness yet it is very powerful because it influences all of your habits and behaviors.

However, if your word was negative, such as fat or lazy, then your Weight Mindset is not congruent with the positive changes you are trying to make and it will make losing weight very difficult and keeping that weight off even harder. Your Weight Mindset is a way your mind generalizes and organizes all the information you get bombarded with each day. It acts like a filter allowing you to only see evidence that is congruent with your thoughts, feelings and beliefs about yourself. So if you are doing the right things, like dieting and exercising, yet you are always thinking you are fat or you believe you will never change you are filtering out any evidence that supports your goal and only accepting the evidence that supports your faulty belief making weight loss difficult and making yourself feel hopeless.
