Many people are excited when first starting out on a weight loss routine. However, many become discouraged when they don’t see results as soon as they had expected. Why can some people maintain their weight after losing it? There must be some magic chemical that makes this possible! What is the secret to this?
Identifying your goals, whether it pertains to a certain amount of weight lost or physical aesthetics, is the first step to losing weight. Do you hope to shed those last 10 pounds that have been bugging you, or are you planning on a dramatic, lifestyle changing weight loss? Figure out why losing weight is important to you. Figure out if you want to lose the weight in order to have more energy or to lose a dress size.
Keep track of your weight loss weekly. Keep track of your weight so you can compare it weekly. Make sure your food journal is kept in the same book. Be sure to write down the foods you have each day, so you can keep track of your daily intake. When you take the time to write it down, the effort will have the effect of lessening your desire.
If you are really hungry, making impulsive food choices is much easier. You aren’t making good decisions about what to eat – you simply want to eat anything you can get your hands on, as fast as possible! Try keeping snacks with you if you are going to be on the go. You should always plan your mealtime into your schedule to avoid the desire for fast food. Take the time to prepare for your meals and pack them up beforehand so you do not have to buy fatty takeout. Not only will this help you consume less calories, it will also assist you in cutting down your food bill.
The most effective way to get weight off is to eat healthy and work out on a regular basis. Try to exercise 3 or 4 times a week, but be sure to allow a few days a week for your body to rest. Make exercise fun if you are bored with it. For instance, if dancing is your thing, how about signing up for a dance class?
If you want to cut back on unhealthy snacks, make them harder to obtain. You can do this by not buying it or not having it in your presence. Surrounding yourself with healthier food will encourage you to eat more of it.
Get a buddy to workout with. When you have only yourself to rely on, you may slack off if you don’t feel motivated or quit early because you have no one to encourage you. If you have a partner, you will be more motivated to complete your workout, even if you are starting to tire. You can help keep each other motivated to lose weight.
