Yeah, I have to agree with Esofia on this. There is no magic to mind-over-matter. It's simply that weight loss
is difficult; it's not an instant gratification thing, the hard work you put into it doesn't always pay off in immediate, tangible ways. It takes determination, patience, and plain will. So it follows naturally that if you believe that there's no point, that whatever you do isn't going to work, then it won't take very long before you lose the determination, lose the patience, and fail to exercise the will.
It's not magic or hocus-pocus - it's simply a self-fulfilling prophecy.
