Now let's come to the logic of losing weight where you sit.
Sitting in your diaries is undoubtedly one of the most frequent actions we perform. We can think of sitting in almost any place, workplace, hospital, post office, meeting room, living room of our house, in the bank, in the car, on the ferry, during the day that we will go to such a house. In fact, not only in the places we go, but even in conversations during the day, we see that we make sentences such as "We need to talk about this", "Why don't you stay sitting with me".
So, why do we prefer sitting rather than standing?
There are two reasons for this:
1. Making you feel safe: Sitting makes people feel safe because it is a natural stance.
1. Feeling comfortable: In our feet, the joints of the feet, knees and hips remain tense due to static muscle weights. When we sit, this muscle effort recedes and the person feels comfortable for energy consumption consumption. Understanding from here that he embraces sitting because it makes him feel safe and comfortable.

Weight loss theories have been the beginning of every debate and the end of many debates for years. But unfortunately, when talking about weight loss theories (nutrition, exercise), the psychological dimension, which is actually the most important part of the work, has not been given much attention.
However, for weight control, being in psychological balance is as important as regular exercise and nutrition.
Because negative thoughts (anxiety and lack of motivation) for a weight loss journey that is embarked on before the psychological structures are ready take its place in the memories as an adventure tour that ended in disappointment.
And this leads to low motivation and negativity... Here are the most common phrases that many people who struggle to lose weight say about this thought...
◊ Whenever I set out to lose weight, I went every time because of lack of motivation.
◊ I wanted to go on the road many times to lose weight. However, due to a lot of negative thoughts running through my head, I was unable to take the first step. Then I ate food and gained weight, saying that this will not work.
◊ While I'm dreaming of losing weight in my seat, as my past experience welcomes me, I despair by saying 'it won't happen this time either'. Then I find myself in the kitchen by the refrigerator, attacking junk food.
To complete the sentences above, we understand that while sitting down, he experiences the burden of losing himself and the weight problem for the psychological use of "feeling good".
And here's the result:
If human beings manage to gain weight due to stress or inactivity or for any reason (lack of motivation, stress, anxiety, love pain, financial and spiritual difficulties) while sitting, they can also gain weight while sitting!
But how will it go through?
Answer: Of course, by exercising thought...
Do you want to lose weight where you were born?
THINKING EXERCISE = INNER DIALOGUE
SUBJECT: I'm so stressed that I always want to eat something when I sit down to relax
∆ Client (You are the client here): Actually, I never opened it, but when I saw it, it was so bad that I always want to eat something when I sit because I am bored.
∆ Therapist: Actually, you don't open at all, but when you are bored and eating to feel good, is it understood correctly?
∆ Client:
Yes, unfortunately it is!
∆ Therapist:
So how do you feel after eating to feel good emotionally?
∆ Client:
He will be happy for the moment while eating and unhappy because he aims to lose weight after he finishes his meal. In fact, this feeling makes me feel bad for days!
∆ Therapist:
Well, now, what is the reason that caused you to feel this emotion instead of eating yourself in emotionally bad manners before that? Thinking there must be another way out that will make you feel good again, instead of eating?
∆ Client:
No, I never thought. Instead of thinking about it, I always ate to feel good.
∆ Therapist:
So now that we are here, we try to think by thinking.
application:
Yes, now is the time to face your broadcasts. By taking an empty chair across from where you have been sitting until now, you were first asked questions as if there was a therapist in front of you. current life It's time to talk and face yourself about what to do in the face of the situation that makes you unhappy.
Now sit on the empty chair in front of you and ask yourself the following questions
Question: If I eat right now, maybe I will be happy, but then I will be unhappy saying why I ate so much even though I am not hungry. And this feeling of regret will haunt me for hours or even the next day. I wonder in which area of my life (work, school, home) I had a difficult situation today and I want to eat out of boredom?
Answer: I had a pretty stressful day at work today. I'm trying to suppress this feeling.
Question: Will food solve my stress-causing problems?
Answer is no!
Question: Will my sense of stress be relieved and I will feel better?
Answer is no! I will feel much worse after eating!
Question: What can I do now to shift my focus in a different direction?
Answer: I can listen to music, solve puzzles, watch TV, read a book or sleep. And as a result, I feel good, not bad, because I don't eat.
Yes, the example above was about stress and nutrition, as it was "weakening where we sit". You can do this exercise according to many subjects with the empty chair technique.
Here is the thought exercise
Thinking is, in a sense, the process of constructing oneself. We all have great potential to realize it, but we don't always know how to perceive it or how to take advantage of it.
This is how the exercise of thought helps us realize this potential. Man is a being who learns by asking questions. We will do this through a thought exercise by asking ourselves questions in accordance with our nature.
The name of the technique we will apply for this is the Empty Chair Technique...
Now I can hear you saying, "Empty chair technique or what is that?"
This technique is used in psychological counseling. By thinking with the empty chair technique, you can find new ways to look at your personal experiences from different perspectives. You can achieve independence if you accept your erroneous thinking and form an opinion about the risks posed by a particular action.
It is not only about losing weight for a healthy and quality life, it helps us mobilize resources by accepting your realities in your social, workplace and even in your love life.
When is the thought exercise done with the empty chair technique?
Our mind travels to the past or the future during the day. Sometimes we get stuck in the past, get angry with ourselves, lose hope from today and experience anxiety and stress. You can practice this exercise to direct our attention back to the present to help us recapture our present life. If you are ready, now I want to introduce you to this technique.
Empty chair technique:
Gestal therapy (whole), which was developed by Frederic Pearls in the empty chair technique in psychology, is applied by helping to improve one's awareness.
In this therapy, the person and the therapist sit on a chair opposite each other and try to understand the source of the internal conflicts experienced by the counselor. In therapy, the therapist and client sometimes switch places. The most important feature of this therapy is that it deals with the present, not the past.
Before embarking on a weight loss journey, you should be concerned with your present, not your past.
Having many bad experiences in the past does not mean that you will experience the same results today. If you want to be happier, you have to take a very close look at yourself. In this therapy, you can look at yourself from the outside and evaluate your behavior.
Application:
Take an empty chair, move to a comfortable place and sit down. Imagine that there is a therapist right across your chair who will give you therapy. (Here, you are both the therapist and the client!) And this therapist will ask you questions in order to find a solution to the thoughts that cause your inner conflicts that cause you the most challenging in your weight loss journey, and at the end of the therapy, he will start the therapy by thinking...
