When I finally decided that weight loss was a priority in my life I changed my mindset so powerfully that I took action and lost 73 pounds in five months. This book is about developing the right mindset for weight loss. In the past I tried losing weight and like many of you I lost some, and then put it right back on plus some extra pounds. Then I would try something else with the same result. I tried the advice of doctors, nutritionists and friends; I failed again and again. Why? I didn't have the right mindset. Not until I developed the right mindset was I able to change my eating and exercise habits and keep the weight off, all 73 pounds; almost three twenty five pound bags of sugar. After I lost all that weight, people began asking me how I did it. I told them it was a combination of things; I changed my eating and exercise habits and had the right mindset. Many people didn't understand what I meant by 'the right mindset.' The dictionary defines mindset as the mental attitude, inclination, or habit that you use when approaching a situation, especially one that may be perceived as being difficult or challenging. But how do you develop the right mindset? As friends and family continued to ask me about what I had done, I came up with nine specific steps that I used to create the right mindset for weight loss. As you read this book you will learn the steps for developing a successful mindset and how to use them. I affectionately call this revolutionary system, The 5-Minute Mindset for Weight Loss. Each step is overviewed and examples provided of how to implement each step. As you learn the steps and engage in this process, you'll be firmly on the path to a healthier and happier lifestyle. The 5-Minute Mindset for Weight Loss is about developing the right mindset needed to change eating and exercise habits permanently. Once in place, it takes about five minutes a day to maintain. Remembering and using these powerful principles, strengthens your resolve and shortens the time it takes to form new habits and change your life in meaningful and significant ways. It is one of the easiest and most reliable systems for weight loss even if you hate dieting and exercise. I hope you'll apply what you learn from The 5-Minute Mindset for Weight Loss and enjoy your success as you achieve your weight loss goals.
