Are you trying to lose weight? Are you engaged in a never ending battle with food? You should evaluate the role food plays in your life!

It is common for most people to become frustrated with their attempts to lose weight and gain better health. This article will lead you through steps to establish a lifestyle of better health in your life.

The first thing to do is to stop thinking in terms of losing weight. Think in terms of better health and always, always, always correct yourself to thinking in those terms. Say to yourself "I will be in better health".

Second, examine what role food plays in your life. In most cases, when people struggle with weight loss, it is because their eating patterns are not conducive to better health. To correct this situation, write down what food means to you. You should write at least 10 lines. This is an effective way to get a handle on your attitude towards food.

Often people rely on food to help them feel better. It is not a permanent solution however and they end up running to food many times in a few hours. Instead, establish a better attitude towards food and its role. Snacking is a definite sign that food is taking over your life. Snacking is a nervous reaction to stress. In order to establish a healthier lifestyle, you need another outlet for stress relief. A good half hour walk outside will be better for you. Over time, this will reduce your need for food during stress. You will truly be amazed at how much better you will feel!
