Losing weight can be difficult and seem almost impossible at times. At the beginning of a weight loss journey it is easy to be enthusiastic, but after a few days or weeks you can lose motivation. Some people are successful at weight loss. How do they take it off and not gain it back? What do they know about weight loss that you don’t?
First and foremost, you need to figure out what you want to accomplish and set mini goals to help you reach your ultimate weight loss goal. Is there a specific function that you need to lose weight for? Have you considered how many pounds you wish to shed? Is the reason for your weight loss medical in nature or something else, such as energy or fitness? Those are the questions you need to answer.
Maintaining records is a helpful addition to your weight loss regimen. Keeping a journal will remind you of your goals. Recording your weight loss progress on a weekly basis is a great motivator. Think about writing down everything that you consume in a day. Making careful notes on what you eat daily can help you track your diet’s effect on reaching your weight loss goals. Once you write down your food intake, you can begin to review what is working and what isn’t, evaluate eating patterns and isolate issues you may be having.
Food decisions that are last minute are most of the time the result of being overly hungry. Do not wait until you are extremely hungry to eat. Always plan your meals in advance, and don’t forget to have healthy snacks available. Instead of dining out, pack your own lunch. Planning ahead protects both your waistline and your wallet! You’re much more likely to break your diet if you’ve gone a long time without eating. Avoid allowing yourself to become too hungry before you eat. Always purchase healthy snacks, and if it is a veggie that needs to be prepared, prepare it ahead of time. Plan your meals so they are healthy and have limited calories. Bring your lunch with you instead of going out to eat. This will help you closely monitor your calorie intake and save you money as well.
A big part of successful weight loss is combining healthy eating with consistent exercise. Exercising requires restructuring of your schedule; a couple of hours three days a week should be suitable for significant weight loss. If you cannot commit to exercising, then pick an activity that you can stick with for the long term. Meeting up with friends for a walk is a great way to socialize and get in some exercise. Consider taking a hike if you love being outside. If you like to dance then go out dancing, but try a new form of dance such as salsa or samba classes.
Everyone knows that if there is no junk food in your house it will keep you from eating it. Fill your pantry with healthy foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and other types of healthy snacks. Do not buy food that you know you should not eat. It’s much easier to avoid temptation if you keep the foods you shouldn’t eat out of your house.
Ask your friends for help. Friends are people who will help you in times of need. You can greatly increase the chances of success if you keep the company of highly motivated and positive people. They can give you the emotional support you need to stay focused. If things aren’t going well, reach out to your friends for support.
