Change Your Attitude, Change Yourself
Looking good can be a lot like being on a diet for some women. One day you
feel good about what you are wearing, and then the next day you put on
your "ugly" clothes and have an attitude like you've given up.
How do you feel about yourself when you do that? Not very good.
The same thing can happen with diets. If you stick to a strict diet
all week, then on the weekend you give in to an indulgence and figure it's
like the floodgates have opened and you might as well eat whatever. You
feel bad and guilty about your giving up attitude. This all or
nothing philosophy backfires and makes you feel bad - whether it is with
the clothes you wear or with what you eat.
According to JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association)
"the type of diet you are on does not matter as much as your attitude
about following it. Experts say that losing weight, keeping it off and
staying (getting) healthy is a question of adopting a permanent
lifestyle."
The same can be said with your style. You can't do it some days, and
then other days let it go and still feel good about you. This attitude of
all or nothing is hurtful! One day you are nice to yourself-then the next
day you are beating yourself up! You need to get your attitude and life on
a more even keel!
If you are dieting and looking for motivation, a Personal Profile is a
great tool. How you look is a strong motivating factor when trying to lose
weight. For example, if you have started a weight loss program, beginning
to dressing correctly for your body type does wonders for your body image.
When you get compliments on how nice you look, you are encouraged even
more to dress attractively - and continue your program. It becomes a
positive cycle you will want to continue.
However, dressing your best is NOT only for dieters. Wearing clothes that
highlight your best features and are stylish allows your inner beauty and
personality to show through. That's what dressing well is all about
anyways.
Part of the MissusSmartyPants program is body acceptance. This is
something that is done everyday of your life. Learning to love what you
see in the mirror. Healthy bodies come in all shapes and sizes! Developing
and nurturing a positive body image and a healthy mental attitude is
crucial to a woman's happiness and wellness. There are 5 different body
types because of all this. All body types can wear clothes and styles that
will make the most of their assets.
Women need to change their attitude to begin to change their actions.
Instead of the vicious cycle of beating one's self up for small
failures-it is time to continue forward in a more positive light. Change
your attitude, and you can change yourself.
