The last post I talked about small increments. The reason this is important is you make small changes over time. These small changes quicly add up and eventually you will start losing weight. What happens when you dont make small changes, and go the more abrupt route? It is called binge eating. The best way to describe it is as an addiction. Food is addicting, eating can be an addiction. A way for some people to escape stress, depression, hatred, love, etc etc. What happens to people who smoke? They become addicted, but the hardest part of quiting is the habit. My point is over eating, or eating the wrong foods is a habit for some.
Back to smoking. People who smoke, and yes I was a smoker, at one point in their life decide to quit. They go cold turkey. Well about a day or more into the cold turkey, they break. Then off to the store to buy a pack of smokes. Once they get those smokes they chain smoke, two maybe three, and some case four to five. Why? binge smoking. The addiction and habit is so powerful that when they break they have to feel that void that they missed for a day or more.
When a person needs to break an addiction or habit they have to do it in small increments over time. That is why smokers are given patches. The patches start out with a high dosage of nicotene and as the smoker wears the patch they slowly replace each patch with a lower dosage over time.
This is also true to dieting. If a person has been over eating for a long period of time, or eating the wrong foods, that person needs to slowly, gradually change their eating habits. If a person does it drastically they will notice that when they break they will then binge eat. To replace what they have missed for ever how long they have been on a drastic diet.
When you do it in small increments you gradually replace years of habit and addiction, much like someone who is addicted to cigarettes. When a person breaks and decides to binge or make up for lost time, that is when the diet has failed.
So it is very important to think of it as a healthy life style change and not a diet. Diets fail, but small changes in lifestyle gradually build. Before you know it you are on the beach showing off the new you. Books to Check out from Our Sponsors:

This is one of my favorite weight loss tips! It is so important to celebrate your successes along the way! I set up weekly goals and rewarded myself with either a treat from my favorite store, a massage, or a treatment from the spa! You will want to be realistic with your goals to set yourself up for success. It is amazing how great the momentum will build when you continually achieve your little goals within the week. Some goals I set for myself were working out 4 times in a week, or not eating chocolate all week, or sometimes it was to lose 1 pound in the week! When I achieved a major milestone in my weight I bought myself a new outfit!
