介绍:
David managed to lose an incredible 181kg in the space of two years. He even lost 45kg in the first three months of his new diet regime. In the years where he was at his lowest weight, he went on to work as a personal trainer and became the subject of a documentary about his incredible weight loss journey. However, shortly after filming concluded he relapsed back into his old habits, which kick-started his food addiction and he ended up at square one (可以想象一下海绵宝宝).
David’s case is an extreme example, but the everyday individual can relate to his intentions and actions, especially in terms of New Year’s resolutions. When January 1 struck, you probably set goals to clean up your diet, detox your insides from the festive season or finally put that gym membership to good use. But to be honest, how many of your resolutions have you managed to upkeep?
So, how can you prevent this from happening? It is important to learn how to ground yourself in the moment and understand that the sensations in your body when you’re craving, or angry, or anxious, are simply messages from your brain letting you know to take action. Prior to now, the action may have been to grab a glass of wine or eat some chips, however moving forward you could move your body (doing exercise), practice mindfulness (5-minutes is an awesome start and there are apps great for this) , such as counting the colours in the room you’re in - this is a great grounding activity.
