Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard
The biggest problem in weight loss is making a change. People can easily lose weight. The problem is that it comes back.
Our minds are ruled by two different systems. The rational and the emotional.
The rational mind wants to look good naked. The emotional mind wants to eat that fresh baked pie and go back for seconds. The conflict between these two different emotional systems is where the challenge for the perfect body is one and lost.
Get this down and the rest is easy.
