Weight loss: ditch your detrimental definition of dieting - not your diet
The term 'diet' is defined by more than deprivation and discouragement.
Dedicating every ounce of energy to a diet that's destined for disaster may have fuelled our fear of a four letter word that we've learnt to loathe, but bombarding our brain with the belief that a successful diet stems from deprivation and discouragement has driven many of us to develop a detrimental definition of the diet that 'should' be sustained in order to shape a slender silhouette.
In fact, with the warped world of weight loss constantly convincing us that we 'need' to turn to dangerous diets, 'detoxes' and 'diet friendly' foods for the effective elimination of excess weight, many minds have become blinkered to the multiple meanings that resemble the reality of a term that has now become renowned for forcing us to fear food and a 'fuller' figure.
Instead of intensifying the insecurities that stem from this simple saying by believing that you 'need' to subject your body and brain to the strategic rules and regimes that leave you struggling to sustain your sanity and self control, take a moment to remember that the term 'diet' not only refers to the cutting of calories in order to oust an accumulation of additional weight - the definition that we have grown to detest - but a selection of food and drink sources, be it healthy, unhealthy, specific or specialised, that a living creature has to habitually consume to survive - the definition that few fail to focus on.
Although it may be tough to turn a blind eye to the manipulative mind of the media and the money fuelled fitness and food manufacturers who have made successful weight loss seem impossible without dedicating our days to deprivation and discouragement, it's important to realize that regardless of these toxic influences, only we possess the psychological power to define the term diet - a diet that can be as simple, satisfying and sustainable, or as scary and strategic as our mind makes it.
