1 Strange Addiction! Are You Addicted Too?

Raise your hand if you have ever eaten junk food. This can be any of the junk foods under the sun, whether it be soda, sugary drinks, chips, candy, cookies, any and everything. What is the point in me asking you this unimportant question? The point that I want you to see is that junk food is an addiction. The addiction is not necessarily WHAT you eat, its how much you eat and how often. If you struggle with this addiction feel free to reach out in the comment box and get some help from a non-judgmental group of people.

1. What We Eat
What we eat matters guys! You may not think that it does, but it does. The reason that junk food is an addiction is because we crave it and feed those cravings with junk food. Sometimes we can't stop eating. We shove food in like there is no tomorrow and we forget that what we are eating is horrible for us. So many times, the junk food companies and corporations get us to eat their food because it makes our mouth tingle or because it tastes good. Really, what we are doing is drinking the Koolaid.

2. When We Eat
When we eat and at what time of day is just as important as what we eat. When we eat late at night the food becomes fat almost immediately. When we eat in the morning, noontime, and early evening, it gives us time to digest. Depending on what we eat we find that it takes longer to digest. Having bed time snacks or midnight snacks is extremely detrimental to your weight loss and dieting because the food just sits in your stomach and rots for a long amount of time. Then it converts to fat!

3. How Much We Eat
This factor one of the biggest when it comes to junk food. Junk food doesn't satisfy as good and as quickly as food that is good for you. We eat gobs of junk food and it never hits bottom. This is a strange addiction that we all go through. Eat less of the good food instead of more of the junk. The junk food companies go through so much food because they realize that their foods are not satisfying and that you will have to buy more. The problem that we run into is that the 2 for 5 bags of chips are the worst thing that we could eat a super sized portions.

I probably sound like every other person that has told you that junk food is bad for you. The thing that will set me apart from these people is the thing that I will say next. You are killing yourself by eating junk food! Those junkies that do drugs are controlled by the drugs. The drugs consume them and force them to use the drugs until they die someday. You are on the path to destruction and you will die unless you change your way and quit the addiction. I care for my readers and the people of the world enough to tell you the truth about junk food. It's an epidemic and is an addiction.

I encourage you guys to own your addiction! Junk food is as addictive as drugs and alcohol. Stop the addiction and stop eating junk food. I believe in you guys! Lose that fat and continue your weight loss and your diet. There will be withdrawals, but power through and be victorious!

Remember Your Goals!

It has progressed in the year to that time when it is extremely easy to side track your new goals and resolutions for the new year and your new weight loss program.
With the Super Bowl coming up, I thought that I would encourage you guys to keep going in your weight loss and to stay away from fatty snacks and sugary drinks.

Those resolutions or goals should have been made, for better or worse, kind of like wedding vows.
If they aren't taken that seriously, then you may not have the strength to get through them.
This does not mean that you divorce your spouse for weight loss, NOT BY A LONG SHOT!!!

If you are somebody that hasn't been sticking to the program, goals, or resolutions like you would have hoped, then there is still hope for you!
Get back on track today with these five tips.

1. Redefine Your Goals and Resolutions
Sometimes we overlook the goals and resolutions that we set over champagne on New Years.
Take some time to redefine the goals and resolutions that you want to accomplish.
This, in turn will allow your mind to be reset and to be back on track.

2. Forgive Yourself!
We all know how crucial our weight and fat loss is.
Sometimes we could die if we don't lose the weight.
Learn to forgive yourself when you mess up and go off the program.
This is essential for moving on from the mess up, and moving on in the program.

3. Get Rid of the Junk Food
If you are someone that is a junk-food junkie, then you know exactly what I'm talking about when I say, get rid of the junk food! Get rid of it!
Having the temptation in the house, on the premises, or within walking distance from your location just makes it harder to lose that weight.
Do yourself a favor, get rid of it, and get back to going for that beach body!

4. Buy Good but Tasty Foods
You don't have to suffer by eating terrible tasting foods while you are on a diet.
There are a lot of fruits out there that taste really good.
Vegetables probably don't taste as good for some people.
Broccoli, squash, a salad with your favorite dressing; all of these are good for you and are tasty.

5. Put Action into the Goals and Resolutions
Putting action into the goals and resolutions that you have now redefined is the only way to accomplish them.
Saying that you are going to do the goals is one thing, but actually putting them into action is another.
It is pointless to say that you are going to lose the weight and then go and pig out within minutes of redefining those goals and resolutions.
Write it on a sticky note and put it on your fridge or cabinet door (whichever holds your largest amount of food) and have it as a reminder of your goals.

Weight Loss Step 4 - Winning the Mental Game

We have been rolling through the weight loss program that embodies Obesity Overload.
Hopefully you are on your way to that body that you've always dreamed of.
I was going to write about another tip for weight loss and then Step 4 hit me like a truck.

I was thinking about a time when I had an apple in my hand, ready to eat something good.
All of the sudden an overwhelming feeling of needing to eat my deliciously looking candy bar in my cabinet and it was calling my name.
I put the apple back in the fridge and unwrapped the candy bar.
My mind was beaten, and I knew it!
Sound familiar?

We have all been there at one time in our life.
People that are trying to lose weight are more vulnerable because you don't want to eat a healthy apple after a long day at the office or at school.
You have to be mentally strong when trying to lose weight.

So, how do you stay mentally strong?
1. Don't Buy Junk Food
Don't even give your mind something junk-food-ish to think about.
Don't buy soda if you love soda.
Just don't do it!
2. Get Out of the House
Something I have figured out over the years is that when I stay home for long periods of time if I have time off from work, is that, if you are a couch potato, chances are that you will be in the kitchen eating way more than you should.
Get out and do something athletic; lose that weight!
3. Think of Junk Food as Poison
If you value your body and you realize what is in the junk food you will soon realize that you won't want to eat it.
It really is just poison for your body.

I hope you have enjoyed this Weight Loss Step 4 blog post!
Win that mental game and loose that weight!
