Summary

If there's one thing you need to know about weight loss, it's this: losing weight is not about finding the right diet - it's about finding a new way of life that you can stick to. This is why losing weight is so hard - finding a whole new lifestyle that works for you is a complicated process of education, practice, and a lot of trial and error. "Reshape Your Mind, Reshape Your Body" is successful because it takes the mystery out of weight loss and addresses the real issues that cause us to overeat or eat incorrectly. Based on research from such well-known organizations as the USDA, Reshape Your Mind, Reshape Your Body combines nutrition and behavior modification for truly effective and long-lasting weight loss results. - Build effective goal setting strategies and action plans for both the long and short term. - Create awareness and control over the external factors that are crippling your weight loss efforts - Institute food and exercise monitoring to foster behavior awareness and identify patterns. - Develop visualization techniques to make the "new you" a tangible reality. - Institute coping strategies for stressful events or situations that trigger emotional eating. - Explore self-esteem and body image perceptions to assist in developing realistic weight loss expectations.
