Meeting your weight loss goal may seem like a distant dream. We start with plenty of excitement and dedication, but as the days pass, we start to feel tired, become unmotivated and stop. How come it seems to be so easy and simple for some people? Some people manage to lose weight and keep it off. What do they do that is different?
Before you begin your weight loss journey, you need to set out some clear goals. In your dreams, what do you envision as the results of your weight loss? Are you looking to be a smaller size in clothing? Are you shooting for a specific weight? Is health your main goal?
Monitor and record your weight loss at weekly intervals. If you keep a weight loss journal, you can look back and track your progress. Don’t forget to log your food consumption in the same diary. A great way to see how well your diet is going is to make a food journal of everything you eat throughout the day. You won’t want it as much once you have written it down and you see it in black and white.
Don’t let yourself become extremely hungry. This will lead to very poor choices in foods. In order to avoid those last minute food decisions, you should plan what you are eating ahead of time and always have healthy snacks available. Make brown bag lunches a new fad at work! Everyone will save money and eat healthier.
Eating healthy foods is not the only thing that is important to lose weight; exercise is also a needed element for any weight loss plan. If you find ways to incorporate fun into your exercise and diet routines, you will find that your weight loss will be steadier. If you are not motivated, get a work out buddy. Have a family bike riding or hiking trip. You’ll be working out without even trying!
Ditch the junk food if you want to avoid it. You can do this by not buying it or not having it in your presence. Having healthy food around you will make it easier for you to eat it.
Appeal to your friends. Tell them you need their support in your efforts to lose weight. Having many supportive people around will motivate you to keep going when you feel like quitting. Be certain your friends are willing to talk you through those times when you are fatigued, discouraged or simply need extra motivation. They can give you the support that you need as you go through your weight loss program.
