How many of you have been on a diet and realise it did not work? Too many people start on a diet but the number of people who succeed and maintain the weight loss they want is meagre. When they fail, they will try again or change to another fad diet. This is all in the vain hope that the next diet will work.

What they do not realise is that they must overcome their mental obstacles. One of the problems that people face who are on a diet is that they keep thinking about food. They have let the word ‘food’ overpower their thoughts when they are on a diet.

When you keep thinking about something, naturally it will manifest itself somehow. They talk about it to others, and they tell everyone they are on a diet and food becomes the main focus of their thoughts the whole day.

Mental images of a rich New York Cheese Cake surfaces when they keep thinking about how they cannot eat that.
