It is very common for women to get so caught up with the diet and exercise part of the arm fat equation that they forget to change how they think for optimal success. And changing your thought patterns is what will ultimately help you succeed.

Why are thoughts so important? Because even if you have the best program in the world, there will come a point when you start to get tired of it. This is a proven psychological principle. So in the end, it is your mental outlook that will help you lose that arm fat, not your diet and exercise regimen.

So here are 6 tips for winning the war on arm fat:

1. Change the way you value food. As a society, we have come to value convenience and low cost. After all, junk food is the cheapest and fastest source of calories you can buy. Accept that the healthiest food for your arm fat journey may cost a little more.

2. Avoid negative internal dialogue. They may seem harmless, but over time their cumulative effect can singlehandedly undermine your arm fat loss efforts. So never criticize your body no matter how bad you think it looks.

3. Believe in compliments. How many times have you received a compliment only to disregard it as a nicety? Well, outside compliments are usually extremely accurate, so do not dismiss them!

4. Do not check your weight every other minute. Not only does this make no sense physiologically, but it will also create an unnecessary burden. Never forget that the weight scale can be the most inaccurate measure of your progress.

5. Come to grips with the fact that no magic solution exists. Are some solutions much better and faster than others? Absolutely! Do some solutions involve NO work. Nope.

6. Don't diet and exercise to lose arm fat. I know this sounds crazy, but if you focus on the process instead of the goal, you will feel like a giant bag of bricks has been lifted from your shoulders. You will also avoid the dangerous and unsustainable deadline mentality.

Ignoring the benefits of thought process optimization is a surefire way to fail when trying to lose arm fat. So follow the advice in this article and you will be that much closer to reaching your goals.
