Those individuals who have tried over and over again to lose weight will agree that the first few days or even the first couple of weeks are exciting and motivating. We see the scale move in the right direction and then something happens; the high goes away and we fall back in to our old patterns. Why is this?

We seem to hit this invisible wall and we start making excuses. We rationalize in our minds that one ice cream cone will be OK or one missed workout is not the end of the world and this is in deed true however it is the beginning of a downward spiral. In order to be successful at losing weight and becoming healthy definitely involves proper eating habits and regular exercise but the key to success is actually emotional and psychological. We must understand why constantly sabotage our efforts.

Most weight loss and fitness programs tell you to eat a particular way and how many push ups you should be doing or how many miles you should running and granted if you could actually manage to stick to the program you would probably loss weight but the point is most people can not white knuckle their way though.

If you have ever seen the TV show “The Biggest Loser” than you already know that there is always an emotional aspect to weight gain and therefore weight loss. For many individuals the “reasons” behind their choices may not be consciously apparent at first, often there is a need to dig a little deeper for the true causes. Conquering the emotional issues behind eating can be a lot of hard work but it is a very necessary step if you wish to be successful.

Although Jillian Michaels is known as the “bully” trainer of the show; fans know that she has a soft side and is very concerned with the emotional hurdles that the contestants each have to over come. Jillian maintains that understanding the “self” is an integral part of the puzzle when it comes to successful weight loss and achieving long term health. The most impressive part of her program is she provides you insights, tools and the constant support you need to be successful. This aspect of the Jillian Michaels Program is incorporated into your daily lifestyle as it is her view that we constantly continue to grow and learn and to benefit from this truth we must be aware.
