Sometimes it seems like weight loss is beyond what we think we can do. After a few weeks of dieting, your motivation may fade and it can be tempting to quit. How can some people keep off the weight after meeting their weight loss goals? How do these people lose weight so successfully? What is the trick?
Initially, plan exactly what you hope to achieve with your weight loss regimen. Do you want to fit back into your favorite outfit? Is there an ideal weight that you would like to reach? Do you want to feel better?
Track your progress in a journal. Don’t weigh yourself too often, though. Weighing yourself more often than that can cause stress. Keep a ledger that lists all the food you eat, along with the amount of calories consumed. Make sure you write down little stuff, like drinks and snacks, too. Recording things will help you be more conscious of your decisions.
Don’t let yourself become extremely hungry. This will lead to very poor choices in foods. To combat this, try to keep healthy snacks on hand and have a meal plan for each day so you do not get in a position where you are starving. Instead of eating out, you should bring your own lunch. It is cheaper, and you have control over the calorie content of the meal.
You need exercise and healthy eating habits in order to lose weight. Find an exercise that you enjoy enough to do several times a week. When it’s hard to fit exercising into your schedule, incorporate a favorite activity into your workout. When getting together with your friends, you can all take a walk. Look into taking a dance class, if you like dancing. Do you feel an urging to get outside in the great outdoors? Do it!
It’s easy to avoid junk food if you don’t have any in your cupboards. If the food isn’t in your pantry then it won’t show up on your hips. Stock your cupboards and fridge with nutritious foods that you want to eat. Green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits, and granola are all healthy snacks. You should not buy any foods that you are tempted to eat in excess. Common indulgences are chips, cookies and candy. If it’s inconvenient to get your hands on a certain kind of food, then you are more likely to eat something else that is healthier for you.
Look towards your friends for moral support when you decide to lose weight. Even though the weight loss is your responsibility, it’s essential to have the support of others in order to stay motivated. Your friends are there to help you stay motivated.
