In the process of losing weight, breakdowns periodically occur during which harmful food is consumed. After a breakdown, guilty feelings, a sense of one’s own inefficiency and powerlessness torment one. To avoid disruptions, you need to understand their causes.
Instruction manual
one
The physiological cause of the breakdown is hunger. Too rigid a diet, a sharp restriction in the number of calories and familiar tastes will soon cause a rebellion of the body. A riot will necessarily occur during the period of a natural decrease in blood sugar - at about 10-11 hours, at 15-16 hours and at about 23 hours. The fact is that after eating the blood sugar level is still elevated for some time, so there is no feeling of hunger. After 2 hours, the sugar level decreases, so hunger reminds of itself. If something sweet was eaten in the main meal, the sugar will decrease more sharply and the feeling of hunger will be stronger. Choose balanced diets appropriate to your current weight and energy consumption.

The psychological reason for the breakdown is the wrong motivation. Hidden settings often interfere with weight loss. You can analyze these incorrect beliefs yourself, without the help of a specialist. To do this, you will need a deck of metaphorical cards.

Metaphorical associative cards (abbreviated as MAC) are pictures that depict people, situations, animals, abstractions. They represent attitudes, beliefs, values, anxieties, phobias, psychological splinters. In the same picture, different people will see personal associations, it all depends on the mood and subconscious attitudes. These cards are not universal for all interpretations, and each card at separate moments in time by the same person can be perceived differently. There are a lot of metaphorical decks, you should choose those decks whose drawings are relevant to you, you should want to consider the cards and notice the details.

Starting a diet, ask yourself the question: "What is my motivation? Why am I losing weight?" Take the cards and lay them on the table "shirts" up. Select one card, flip. View the image, capture the first impression, write it in a notebook. How does the map image answer your question?

In this picture, you can see the desire to be slim and fashionable (a bride in a guipure dress according to her figure), you can see a hidden fear of the world or a negative relationship with a particular man (the bride is a mouse, and the groom is a cat), or another option is the desire to lose weight in order to to become small, like a child, dexterous, and maybe even invisible (mice are small, dexterous, they are not visible). You can draw another card with the question "What should I do to get the result?" or "What prevents the achievement of the result?". The answers to these questions and all the thoughts that come to mind when looking at cards should be written in a notebook. Repeat this exercise with cards once a week, or as needed, and see how your answers and associations change. So you will understand what limiting beliefs are stored in your subconscious, and you can work them out.
