Goddess at the Diet Oasis...

The 7 Goddesses of Weight Loss

The Weight Loss Goddess has seven great motivational diet tips to help you drop that unwanted weight.  There are seven key elements to weight loss:

1.  Goddess of Diet Love - In order to get the most out of your diet plan, learn to love yourself - no matter what size you are.  If you learn to love yourself, you'll want to provide your body with the best things in life, including a healthy dose of activity and healthy foods.

2. Goddess of Diet Hate - Perhaps hate is too stiff a word, but the more that you learn to dislike certain unhealthy foods, the better for your weight loss plan.

Unhealthy foods may include pickled pigs feet which are filled with fat and sodium, creamed foods - from creamed potatoes to whipping cream, and fried foods which contain a good deal of unnecessary fat and calories.

3. Goddess of Diet Lust - Keep in mind that everyone who goes on a diet is tempted.  It may be through the whiff of a fresh baked loaf of bread, a smoldering pizza pie or a bag of fresh popped buttered popcorn - but tempted we are!  Keep in mind that temptation is temporary.  Temptation will pass and weight loss fill its place.

4. Goddess of Diet Needs - Even though calories and fat are kept in check while dieting, don't be too strict on your body.  Your body needs a certain number of calories each day just to function.  

Learn to recognize the difference between Diet Lust and Diet Needs.  When you desire a certain food, stop and ask yourself, "Am I craving this food because I am hungry OR because it tastes good?"  If the food is among the forbidden foods (i.e. unhealthy foods), then limit yourself to the portion size.  

Losing weight doesn't mean tossing everything out of your life that you like to eat and do.

5. Goddess of Diet Flames - It's okay to be angry about having to diet.  Dieting isn't nearly as fun as enjoying a six-course meal.  Again - dieting is TEMPORARY.  

6. Diet Goddess of Mind - Keeping in mind that dieting is TEMPORARY - set your mind to getting the task accomplished.  Get the weight off and be done with it!  If you have a lot of weight to lose - then think of your weight loss plan as months rather than 'a year or more'.

7. Diet Goddess of Stone - Remain resolute and stay focused on your diet plan and what you want to accomplish.  I don't know of anyone who went off of their diet and lost weight because of it.  If you keep on your diet, you will lose weight. You may hit valleys and you'll enjoy those happy peaks.  Most of all, once the weight is gone, you'll enjoy life a lot more than before you dropped those unwanted, unnecessary, unneeded pounds!
