What if the bad food is not the problem?

Okay, we all know about bad food. We are told about it all the time, especially if you are trying to lose weight. Okay, so you know what to stay away from:

• Fried foods
• Fatty foods
• Creams and butters
• Ice cream
• Sugar foods
• Salty foods

And if you're trying to lose weight, you sometimes wonder "What food can I eat at all?" and are left to ponder this while you shop for more fruits and veggies and other boring foods.

But, what if, in our quest for getting to the "perfect size", what if we find out that the bad food is not the problem?

• What if we eliminate the bad food, but still can't lose weight? 
• What if we workout like crazy, but the scale still doesn't budge?

Could it be possible that the bad food is not the problem? 

When you are used to eating "bad" foods, such as those listed above, it is hard when you start eliminating them from your daily life. You have to deal with cravings, you have to deal with a growling tummy and you have to deal with your emotional ties to food. Cravings, you can deal with. Growling tummy, you can control to some extent. But, the emotional ties, oh, that's when we get into trouble.

We find out that there is a REASON we are drawn to these foods, whether it is:

• Habit
• Lonliness
• Lack of love
• Comfort 
• Unhappiness with life

And that's the hard part.

That's the reason most diets don't work. It's not all about cutting out the "bad" foods. It's about finding out WHY those foods are important to us and then dealing with those emotions. It truly does start with the inside, so will you?
