It can be difficult to stick to a weight loss plan. It may seem easy to begin with, when our goals don’t seem so far away. However, eventually motivation usually dwindles, and you start to give up. However, some people manage to keep their motivation. People can get the weight loss they want, and keep it off. How is it accomplished?
First, identify your weight loss goals. You need to make up your mind and decide if you want to lose weight or just tone your body. Is there a particular weight that you wish to achieve? Or is increasing your energy and endurance what’s important to you?
Remember to write down your weight loss every week. Keep track of everything you eat, including the smallest bites. You gain an added sense of accountability when you write down what you’ve eaten. Having to write it down might also motivate you to make healthier choices initially, so you don’t have to write down those fatty snacks.
You want to keep healthy snacks close by for those times in the day when your brain is telling you that you are hungry and need something. If you haven’t eaten all day, you can easily find yourself wandering into a fast food restaurant. Plan your meals a week in advance, and always bring a bag lunch to work. This will also save you money.
There is more to a successful weight loss program than just a good diet. A healthy lifestyle requires both healthy eating and regular exercise. You should do something that you like doing so you will be drawn to keep doing it and losing weight. Look for physical activities that are fun and engaging, so they will hold your interest in the long run. In addition, be sure to seek out new friends as this will motivate you to attend regularly.
Get rid of junk food from anywhere you spend a significant amount of time, including work. It may seem drastic, but if it isn’t available, then you can’t eat it. Stock your home, office and other locations where you might eat, with a variety of healthful food selections. Be prepared for sudden snack attacks by having plenty of ready-to-eat foods on hand, such as carrot and celery sticks, fruit, seeds and other nutritious treats.
Inform others of your workout goals. They can inspire you to truly reach that weight loss goal. Your loved ones can be a great source of inspiration. Look to them for a lift on those days when things aren’t going quite right.
