Many people are excited when first starting out on a weight loss routine. Sometimes the long term goal just seems too elusive, and the tendency is to give up too soon. Some people can lose weight and manage to keep the weight off. How do they do it? One wonders if there is a secret to this amazing accomplishment. What is it?
Clearly delineate your objectives when you formulate your fitness regimen. Do you want to lose a great amount of weight, or are you simply trying to get a trimmer body? Are you hoping that working out will leave you feeling energized throughout the day? What do you hope to accomplish by beginning an exercise program?
Keep a weekly record of your weight loss. Keep track of your weight so you can compare it weekly. Record what you eat in the same book. By jotting down your food intake on a daily basis, you are more likely to stick with the program because you are holding yourself responsible. When you know you’ll have to write it down, you won’t be as interested in having that snack.
If you wait until you are starving, you may be more likely to make bad food decisions. Make sure you avoid this problem by bringing healthy foods along with you. It is far better to bring a bagged lunch wherever you are going, than to end up in a fast food restaurant. Packing your own lunch lets you maintain control over the calories you consume and keeps you from having to face the temptations prevalent when dining out. Because it normally costs less to bring your lunch than to dine out, you will most likely find that you are saving money while whittling your waistline.
It is very important to eat healthy and exercise. It is important that you exercise three times a week or more. If you cannot commit to exercising, then pick an activity that you can stick with for the long term. Try to get your friends involved by asking them to walk with you. Short hikes on a nature trail or even just a walk through the neighborhood park can satisfy your thirst for the great outdoors and get you some exercise! Sign up for a class and learn a new high-energy style if you enjoy dancing.
Get rid of all the unhealthy food from your kitchen. Stock your pantry with only healthy food that’s good for you so that it’s all you’ll have to eat. The harder it is to eat unhealthy food, the less appealing it will be, and the less you will consume.
A great support network can go a long way in helping you to stay focused on your weight loss plan. Look to your friends for encouragement, inspiration and moral support. Having friends cheer you on when you are ready to give up is a great benefit. Turn to your friends for moral support when you want to open that bag of potato chips! Wouldn’t you want to do the same for your friends?
