Lose Weight | | | bWell Clinic knows that a lot of people know that they need to lose weight, spend a lot of time thinking and feeling miserable about it and yet do very little about it. Or, you might recognise yourself in the group that has tried every diet and fad out there, and failed, time and time again, reinforcing your negative belief about your ability to lose weight.
At the bWell Clinic we can teach you the secrets that all slim people know. There is no faddy dieting, no gimmicks and no drugs.
Plain and simple, to lose weight you need to exercise more and eat less!
We work with you to understand your relationship with food which can be a highly volatile, emotional relationship. We will help you to identify and control food cravings and show you how your mood in turn affects your food.
We will help you to change the way you think about food and how to re-train your mind and body to know and stop when you are full and satisfied. A lot of time, we eat purely out of habit, even when we are not physically hungry, are bored, upset or think that by eating it is a way of rewarding ourselves. These negative eating habits are learned behaviours from home, or new bad habits that you have instilled in yourself.
We use CBT (Cognitive Behavioural therapy) for long term weight loss. CBT for weight loss teaches you to become aware of how you think about eating and exercising and with our psychological insight teaches you how to help you make healthful choices that will impact the longevity and quality of your life.
From ‘The Beck Diet Solution’ – train your brain to think like a thin person Dr. Judith Beck
From trigger to eating
You encounter a trigger: Someone offers you a biscuit
↓
You have a thought: Umm, that looks good
↓
You make a decision: I think I’ll have that
↓
You act: You eat the biscuit
Some helpful tips on how to change trigger eating:
| | |  | Eating is a habit and can feel automatic but you can learn to take control.
|
| | Understanding what your triggers are provide insight and immediate answers to the question of why you find it hard or have found it hard to lose weight and keep it off. |
| | Do all the things your mother said! Eat sitting down, eat slowly and
mindfully.
|
| | I think that good eating and exercise is often down to simple planning. If you have a diary (it may be a work diary) or you can use your phone I think it is a great idea to have a schedule of when you are to exercise.
|
| | Again, this sounds like very practical common sense, but if you had an appointment for the doctor, or to meet a friend at a certain time and it is noted in your diary you wouldn’t just decide to not turn up. By writing it down, you are much more likely to do it. Exercise needs to be built into your week not as an option of I would like to exercise three times
this week. But written down you have your exercise on Monday at 10am, Wednesday at 4pm and Friday at 6 pm, for example. Even be more specific again and say on Monday I will go for a 40 minute swim, on Wednesday I will do my pilates and on Friday I am going for a run on the beach, around my local park, or at the gym.
|
| | Prepare your gym bag, or work out gear the night before.
|
| | Plan all your meals and bring food from home.
|
| | Set backs will happen, they have always happened and this is how you learn. So through CBT for weight loss say ‘oh well’ to disappointment. If you beat yourself up and stop eating and exercising well this is far more damaging that realizing that you accept what happened and move on. The diet process never works because it doesn’t take into account that you are human and normal and can’t always follow every routine like a robot. So, say ‘oh well’, accept what happened, learn from it and keep back on track.
|
| | To lose weight we need to focus on a new muscle – your Brain. Your brain is under your control (although it may not feel that way sometimes). How you think leads to your actions, let’s learn how to put into action new healthful actions. |
| | It is a good idea to put in writing why you want to lose weight and what are the advantages of losing weight, this will help when you feel your motivation waning, you can keep it in your wallet, or on your mirror, but do read it, and often. Some examples could be:
|
| | | | | To look and feel better
|
| | Be specific – to wear that suit or dress to that wedding, party etc
|
| | To have more energy
|
| | To be fit
|
| | To lower my cholesterol
|
| | To lower my Blood pressure
|
| | To improve my confidence and body and self-image
|
|
|
| | | | | At the clinic, our first priority is to give you the tools and motivation to lose the weight and most importantly how to maintain your shape. |
|
| | | | | | | This is a positive lifestyle change that includes a healthier body image, self-image, a more motivated you who exercises and feels more alive, alert and lighter. |
