Weight Control

Most of us have at one time thought we might like to lose a few pounds. Perhaps you’ve noticed your jeans getting tighter, or you have a special occasion coming up for which you’d like to look your best. Whatever the reason, it’s always a good time to become healthier and happier.

To achieve a goal of healthy, sustainable weight loss, extreme diets are rarely the answer. The temptation to achieve fast results by crash dieting often leads to piling more weight on in the long run, and punitive, restrictive eating regimes can suck all the joy out of life. Exercise alone is not the answer either – it’s often said that you can’t out-train a bad diet, and that weight loss truly happens in the kitchen.

While nutrition and exercie are the cornerstones to controlling your weight, what underpins your relationship to these factors is your mindset. The CBH approach to weight control focuses on developing an understanding how thoughts and feelings often cause us to make poor choices in what we eat. Perhaps the pressure you put on yourself to eat healthily is the thing that ultimately causes you to binge. Or maybe you notice yourself reaching for chocolate after an argument. What if the that excissively stringent exercise program you’ve outlined is the thing that puts you off going for a run? Having an awareness of which unhelpful habits or beliefs might be holding you back is a crucial first step – only then can you develop a plan that will truly work for you.
