The Chot Zone FIIT Rx
Hello,
Welcome back to The Chot Zone FITT Rx. This is episode 5, and today’s topic will be on If People Just Get Rid Of Some Bad Habits, They Could Lose Weight and Keep It Off. But, before we get started:
Let us pray:
Father God in the name of Jesus, I thank you for this day that you have made. I thank you for another day of purpose here on this earth and that I can once again speak encouragement to whomever you have tuned in on this Podcast. I thank you and ask that they would have an open ear and a heart to receive. I ask that you continue to fill me with your wisdom, knowing that I do none of this alone. It’s in Jesus Name that I pray and give thanks, Amen.
Again, my topic for today’s podcast is : If People Just get rid of some bad habits, they could lose weight and keep it off.
There is this popular statement that goes like this, “Show me your friends, and I will tell you who you are”. Therefore, our associations go a long way in determining not only our personality, but our relationships, which have influence on our conduct and character.
You’ve also heard about habits, they form our character and it is a fact that it takes 21 days for a habit to be cultivated for it to become a part of us. This means that three weeks are required for the formation of an attitude; within this time frame, a habit either good or bad, can rub off on someone by association.
Therefore, We have to be careful of the friends we keep because they can unconsciously rub off on us, knowing that “evil association corrupts good manners”.
Many of us have experienced the struggle of trying to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. It can often feel like an uphill battle, filled with temptations and old habits that seem impossible to shake. However, what if we take a moment to reflect on the power of change? Imagine the transformation that could occur if individuals were to gently let go of some of those habits that no longer serve them. We just might realize that the journey toward achieving our health goals doesn’t always require drastic change.
By identifying and releasing these behaviors, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities, allowing us to not only shed those extra pounds, but also embrace a more vibrant and fulfilled life.
Imagine the relief and empowerment that comes with making conscious choices about our daily routine. Each small decision we make – whether it’s opting for a nourishing meal instead of a quick, processed snack, or finding joy in physical activity rather than viewing it as a chore—can lead to significant transformations over time. When we shed the weight of bad habits, we create space for healthier alternatives that nourish our bodies and souls.
It’s not just about the numbers on a scale, it’s about fostering a positive relationship with ourselves and our bodies, cultivating self-love, and celebrating our progress, no matter how small. Each small step away from unhealthy choices can lead to profound changes in one’s physical and emotional health. Picture the joy of waking up each morning with renewed energy feeling lighter and more vibrant. It’s about creating a lifestyle that nurtures the body and soul where nourishing food choices become a source of pleasure rather than restriction.
Moreover, the journey toward weight loss and maintenance can be a deeply personal and empowering experience. It’s not merely about shedding pounds; its about building resilience and discovering the strength within. By recognizing and addressing those habits that hold us back, individuals can cultivate a mindset that celebrates progress, no matter how small. Every positive change, every mindful decision contributes to a greater sense of achievement, reinforcing the belief that lasting change is possible.
As we embark on this journey, we must remember that it’s not about perfection, but rather about progress. It is essential to be compassionate with oneself. Each step we take, no matter how small, is a victory worth celebrating. Change takes time, and it’s perfectly normal to encounter setbacks along the way. However, the key is to approach these challenges with kindness, understanding that each moment is an opportunity for growth. By letting go of the negative patterns and embracing healthier alternatives, individuals, such as yourselves can pave the way for lasting weight loss and a more fulfilling life. So, remember your SMART goals: S means, is the goal specific. Eating healthier is great, but what does that really mean? Set a specific goal such as cutting down or eliminating soda or eating five servings of vegetables a day.
M means, Is your goal measurable. Your goal should be one that you can measure. A goal of walking more is not so easily measured, so change it to walking three days a week so you can measure your progress.
A means, Is your goal attainable? Try not to aim too high or too low, but find a goal that is just right for you.
R means, Is your goal realistic? Losing 10 pounds a week sounds awesome, doesn’t it? But it’s an impossible goal that will leave you discouraged and more likely to give up on your efforts. Losing 1 pound per week is a realistic and sustainable goal.
Lastly, T means, Time. How much time do you think it will take for you to meet your goals. Set a start date as well as re-evaluate your goals in 6 weeks. It is important that you track your progress. Write your efforts down in a journal or track them on an app so you can see how far you’ve come.
If you choose a goal that is more realistic, it will reinforce your efforts and keep you moving in the right direction, which is forward. It’s a beautiful journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth where each step forward is a testament to one’s commitment to health and happiness.
