Book excerpt: A no-nonsense, unique approach to losing weight that starts with the premise that getting fit and healthy does require work, and that you must be willing to roll up your sleeves, accept that challenge.. Focuses on what has consistently been the missing link to lasting weight loss—the powerful role of the mind. The most critical key to losing weight and keeping it off lies in the way we think, and in what we tell ourselves when we mess up. One’s ability to switch to a positive state of mind in the face of setback determines who makes it to the finish line and who stays down and defeated. The good news is: rational optimism is a learned skill; not something you have to be born with. Reacting negatively to weight-loss setbacks leads to a state of psychological helplessness—a kind of mental inertia that leads to anxiety and depression and sabotages your efforts to lose weight. Learning to react to setbacks with rational optimism—remaining positive while maintaining a strong foothold in reality—lays the foundation for success. When you prove to yourself that setbacks are just temporary and surmountable,t they lose the power yo unravel you. There is something that you can do. Change Your Mind, Change Your Weight shows how.
