“It does not do to leave a dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him.” - JRR Tolkein
If you’ve been inspired to make healthy changes to your diet and lifestyle this year, you may well have started to come across some obstacles that are making the process more challenging than you first thought. It’s a great idea to get familiar with the things that might get in your way so you can start to work out how to get round them. It’s ideal if you can do this before you get started, but don’t worry if you’re already on the path - it’s equally useful at any point in the process. Unhelpful Beliefs – We all have different sets of beliefs about the world around us that have formed at some point in our lives – beliefs aren’t facts but instead they are our internal (and often distorted) representation of reality. Some beliefs are helpful, whereas some others aren’t. It’s therefore a good idea to have a regular spring clean of your beliefs and let go of any that might not be serving you well. Unhelpful beliefs around diet can create huge barriers when it comes to working towards eating more healthily or achieving a healthy weight. These may include, “I will never achieve a healthy weight”, “healthy food is boring”, “fad diets, quick fixes and diet foods are the best way to lose weight”, “all fat is bad for you”, “I can’t cook”, “a healthy diet means extreme changes” and many more. Have a think about whether any of these, or other similar unhelpful beliefs get in your way?
