Losing weight and keeping it off can seem like an unattainable goal. We start with all the enthusiasm and motivation in the world, and then get discouraged when we feel the soreness from our first workout. How are some people able to succeed?
To being with, you need to figure out what your weight loss goals are. Does going down a few sizes appeal to you? Do you have a specific goal weight that you want to reach? Do you want to get in shape and feel more energized?
Make sure to keep a record of how well you are doing. Don’t weigh yourself too often, though. Weighing yourself every day or more than once a week can contribute to anxiety if you are not seeing results. Write down everything you eat and the number of calories each food item or drink contains. This should include any snacks and beverages. Writing down what you consume can sometimes stop you from making poor diet decisions.
Don’t allow yourself to be hungry all the time. This will make you more likely to binge on unhealthy foods. Do not make this common diet mistake. Decide ahead of time what you will eat for meals and snacks. Bring them along when you are away from your house. Going forward, practice the art of packing a brown bag lunch. This will slim your waistline and fatten your wallet.
A healthy weight loss plan requires both modest exercise and a nutritional diet. For steady weight loss, try a combination of diet and exercise. You can also have fun by doing activities that involve exercise. Get a friend to exercise with you if you don’t have the willpower to exercise on your own. Turn it into a family event by taking a bike ride or a stroll in the park. You don’t need to be at the gym to exercise. Get outside, move your body and get your blood pumping and the pounds will start shedding.
Very few people follow through, even though they know about it. Get rid of all those bad foods in your kitchen. If you do not have any junk food in your house, you will not be as easily tempted. Fill your fridge with fresh produce and yogurt instead. When unhealthy food choices aren’t staring you in the face, it’s easy to avoid thinking about them.
When you are losing weight, having people on your side is so important! Having a good support system helps you stay motivated. When you think you just can’t take it any more, a quick call to a supportive friend can help you make it through.
