Weight Loss Challenges: Surgery isn’t the Only Answer

Success!
Thanks for stopping by Positive-Workouts! Welcome to our new site. We have revamped everything to make this an interactive, educational and fun experience.
Everything we do is about your success! We believe that the answer to changing your life, is changing the way you think. And the easiest, most successful way to change the way you think is through the mind/body connection!
When you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel. At that point, you are able to leave an old, destructive life behind and make better- healthier- choices. The mind and body were always meant to work in harmony. Somehow, you got off the path and are at a place that you don’t want to be – but don’t know how to get out.
It all starts with a relationship with your body. At this point, if you are obese, you probably have an unhealthy relationship with your body. In many ways, obesity is a form of self-abuse. Taking your anger, your hurts and your sadness out on your own body. Stuffing your emotions down with food – until you can’t feel a thing – except the bloatedness that has followed you for years.
The body’s answer to all of these pent-up, beat-up and buried emotions is exercise. I know- you don’t want to hear about diet and exercise. I’m just talking about taking a walk. Taking a walk is a great stress reducer. One of the best ways it reduces stress is by taking a chunk of those unprocessed emotions and lets them go. If you choose to challenge, process and let them go!
The second part of exercise is to add positive afirmations. When you exercise to the sound of positive affirmations, it cracks the shell of some of the most destructive thought patterns we have. For example: Maybe you have the self-destructive thought “It’s never my turn – I always lose”. It is time to banish that thought pattern to exile.
What am I talking about?
If you are walking, you will get tired. As you walk, many of your emotional walls will get weak. Everytime those emotional walls are weakened by physical exhaustion – you have the opportunity to challenge them, smash them and bannish them from your life.
You do this by adding positive affirmations – to your workout. Step by step, mile after mile, you will be able to form a healthy relationship with your body!
Tomorrow, we’ll talk more about that. Hope to hear from you soon!
