Same goes for exercise - the want outweighs the need.
The core of the problem in, I would say 90%, of the time, is that the aim is completely wrong which your statements confirm.
When a person says:
"I want to lose weight"
They have already placed themselves on the wrong path. Weight is merely a secondary issue, a by-product. That is why most people fail.
The correct desire that needs to be reached is:
"I want to eat good healthy food and drink"
Forget about weight. Simply decide that you want to eat healthily. When you make that decision and the associated changes (education, action) then your body will adjust its weight completely naturally.
It is a similar situation with health in general. The ill-informed person will say:
"I want to get rid of this cold"
and consequently will buy all manner of stupid snake oil pills, potions, lozenges and syrups.
What the person needs to do is ignore the cold and reach the mindset of:
"I want to be a healthy person"
which again, after education and action results in that person eating and drinking healthy things which create a strong immune system so that you don't actually get colds in the first place.
All of this is about mind set and having the epiphany to realise that you just want to be healthy. Slimming Clubs have no vested interested in you reaching that epiphany and that is why they do not properly educate their clients and instead spoon feed them silly diet systems and pre-designed recipes and menus. If they educated people properly there would be no reason for anyone to come back, and that . . . is not a business model that generates $millions.
