There are many reasons why people gain weight but only 3 reasons why most people can't lose the weight. Find out what weightloss obstacle is keeping you from shedding the pounds and how to get the mindset that will get you results.

Weightloss Obstacle #1: Emotional Eating:
If you turn to food any time you feel any type of emotion then you're an emotional eater but it's not just about stress. Emotional eaters turn to food when they feel happy, bored, depressed, even excited. You use food as a way to deal with one or many emotions and maybe you learned this as a kid or from your college friends or your spouse. The reason why isn't as important as understanding your food environment and getting control over it. Dr. Musante author of Structure House WeightLoss Plan suggest you start incorporating powerful habit busters to gain control of the environment that causes you to eat.

Weightloss Obstacle #2: Chronic Dieting
If you're easily swayed by the media, celebrities, or friends about the latest diet fads and you jump all over the latest diet trends for fear of missing out then you're a chronic dieter. Chronic dieters want to fit in and be accepted. They fear rejection and follow any diet trend no matter how ridiculous or dangerous it is. If you're caught in this cycle of extreme eating then it's time to evaluate your self esteem. A client I worked with for a brief time finally had the courage to get out of a bad relationship and this had a huge impact on her relationship with food. Improve your self esteem and stop the chronic dieting with Body Esteem: Weight Loss Through Self-Discovery (includes 2 Audio CDs).

Weightloss Obstacle #3: Passive Weightloss
If you want to lose weight but you can't be bothered doing the research to find what's going to work for you or you think that a couple of weeks of exercise will burn off years of blubber then you're a passive loser. A good friend and personal trainer calls this taking the half-assed approach and when it comes to getting results it won't work. You have to get really involved with your own weightloss process. You must research different diets, care about what you eat at every meal, get on an exercise plan, and uncover your food issues in order to change your body. Nobody can do it for you not even your personal trainer or nutritionist. If you are not willing to do the work then you must accept being and staying overweight. I've had two clients in my 9 years of training who chose to stay overweight and that's o.k. if you're happy but if you're unhappy it's time to dig deep and find out why you are resisting change.
