The Psychology Of Diet Preparation
2089
We decide to lose weight because of any number of reasons: we dont like the way we look, our clothes dont fit, our health is in danger, our significant other is wandering, our job is at risk, or our kids are embarrassed. We tend to think of weight loss as something that involves only our body; surely no one ever decided to lose weight because of a fat brain or a bloated mind.
Yet we decide is a mental function. The actual size of the body does not trigger the decision to lose weight, such a choice in made in the brain.

We decide to lose weight because of any number of reasons: we dont like the way we look, our clothes dont fit, our health is in danger, our significant other is wandering, our job is at risk, or our kids are embarrassed. We tend to think of weight loss as something that involves only our body; surely no one ever decided to lose weight because of a fat brain or a bloated mind.
Yet we decide is a mental function. When and why we make such a decision depends on our mind, not our body. We may make the decision when we are five pounds heavier than we would like, or after passing the two hundred pound mark and entering true medical obesity. The actual size of the body does not trigger the decision to lose weight, such a choice in made in the brain.
Since the start (and the continuation) of a diet program is a mental process, it would seem to be worthwhile to explore what factors might trigger such a decision.
