Dr. Phil firmly believes: If you are overweight -- then you are out of control. Ouch! No one likes to face the harsh fact of not being in control. But he is never afraid of telling it like it is. One of the advantages of the Dr Phil's weight loss program is that you never have to be bothered with counting calories, points, or fat grams and you can still enjoy some carbohydrates.
The good doctor coaches that as you take the time to
unlock the 7 keys to self control, you will never ever revert back to self
destructive overeating. I’m addicted to sugar, candy, Oreos®, cakes, pies, cinnamon buns. Will I be able to get rid of the sugar cravings while on the Dr Phil plan? There are a few chapters or keys to self control that address the sugar addiction. You will confront and address using food as a drug or emotional pill. You will clean out your refrigerator and cupboard. You will acquire habits to preparing and eating nutritious foods. Each chapter builds on the next. When you are eating nutritious foods, your cravings for overeating sweets disappears.
You should only start the challenge if you are
ready to embrace a new way of thinking about weight loss. Are you ready to
change your lifestyle? Are you ready to make permanent changes? Are you ready to
stop making excuses? Are you ready to stop lying to yourself about why you can’t
lose weight? Are you ready to exercise three or four times a week?
Dr. Phil looks like a big man. How can he be such an authority on weight loss solutions? That’s the same question that Jay Leno asked him on the Tonight Show. He replied, “How can you be a comedian when you’re not funny?” He is 6’1” and weighs 220. He says that if he weighed 181 like many height and weight charts say he should, he would be thin as a clothesline. I don't have any willpower. Is this going to be right for me? Willpower is a myth, according to Dr. Phil. It’s a temporary state of mind that pumps you up but which leads to crash and burn. This is where you fail, feel badly, binge, and go back on a destructive cycle again.
It sounds like you have a hectic schedule. You can start small and build. Perhaps at work you can walk at lunch or climb stairs during your break. Include physical fitness with your children like bike riding and active games. When you are losing weight and choosing nutritious foods, you will have more energy and will want to exercise. Try to spend at least one weekend day engaging in a physical activity or pop an exercise tape on the video and kick up your heels.
You know Dr Phil would have a heyday with that question. Tell your husband that the diet has nothing to do with him. Tell him that you will feel better and be healthier and ask for his support. Key 7 is about social control and finding a weight loss coach. He suggests that successful weight loss is not about being the “lone ranger” but instead asking for social support and getting it. If your husband isn’t supportive, find a friend or mentor or join an online support group that helps you accomplish your weight loss goals. Dr Phil Weight Loss
