You may feel like your weight loss goals are lofty and far off. It is easy to start off feeling all charged up, but as more time progresses, it is often difficult for us to find any motivation to continue. Why does everyone’s body work differently when losing weight? Some people can lose weight and stay light for an extended period of time. What is the secret?
The first thing you need to do when thinking about weight loss is figure out what your goals are. Have you calculated how much weight you want to lose? What is your overall goal for weight loss? Is it your goal to slide into a new pair of jeans that are several sizes smaller, or just feel more svelte in the clothes you already wear? Ask yourself whether you want some extra energy, or just to feel like you are in better shape.
Each day there are things you can do to keep track of your weight loss. A good way to start is by keeping a record of your weight loss each week. A food diary where you list everything you eat and drink over the course of the day can help you to stay focused on making healthy nutrition choices that support your weight loss goals.
When you ignore your hunger you set yourself up to make bad choices about which foods to eat. Try to avoid being hungry without a healthy solution. Therefore, have your meals planned out in advance. When you leave for the day, have food with you. Make it a point to bring your lunch from home. This will slim your waistline and fatten your wallet.
It is very important to eat healthy and exercise. Exercising requires restructuring of your schedule; a couple of hours three days a week should be suitable for significant weight loss. If you think this will be difficult to stick to, then choose activities you will have fun doing. Ask your friends to walk with you. Being outside for a nice hike can be a great way of getting exercise. If you like to dance then go out dancing, but try a new form of dance such as salsa or samba classes.
You should keep junk food out of the house so you’re not tempted to eat it. Keep your kitchen empty of junk food. If it is not laying around then you will not eat it. Make sure you have easy access to healthy foods instead. There are plenty of healthy alternatives in the food market. Do not purchase foods, like chips or cookies, that will encourage you to overindulge. If you make these foods inconvenient to obtain, they will be harder to eat and ruin your weight loss plan.
Enlist your friends to help you achieve your weight loss goals. Having a support group of friends and family helps tremendously in the weight loss process. External encouragement and motivation can keep you on track even if you are going through a rough patch. If you reach out to your support system at this time, they can help you make it through.
